So since the time I've gotten this game to right now (about .8 to .12) I have an on and off issue with server stability. In .12, every other game i'm playing I get disconnected from with a "server connection lost" pop up. I know I'm not the only person with this issue, and it is NOT my internet. This is such an infuriating problem and I have lost so much gear to this stupid issue that is NEVER fixed or even ATTEMPTED to be solved. It seems as though BSG would rather add new guns than fix everlasting problems I'm sure they're well aware of. It's gotten to where I'm giving up on this game because it pisses me off and kicks me while I'm down, and it ISNT MY FAULT. Why won't they fix the servers? Why?? They've had so much time to do it but never have tried and it's blood-boiling

1. Hier könnt ihr sehen, wie ein Spieler ein ganzes Magazin in einen Gegner jagd und nichts passiert - außer, dass er selbst kurz darauf stirbt: https://youtu.be/Ne9T0HHGDRE?t=574 2. Und hier ist die gleiche Szene aus der Sicht des Gegners, der nur den anderen Spieler sieht, aber "nicht", wie er mit einem ganzen Magazin beschossen wird und daher sorgenfrei zielt und ein paar schüsse abgibt, bis der andere tot ist: https://youtu.be/Ne9T0HHGDRE?t=768 Da scheinen Netcode und Server komplett zu versagen oder woran liegt sowas? 😯🙄😕

This game is unplayable. If its not the High Packet Loss drop out every 2 mins its the desync. Do i really have to play on 100+ ping Singapore servers just to get a game in? We NEED another server. Please help us AUS/NZ players that want to enjoy this amazing game

i used to get 120ms(lowest) ping after update it became 195ms. can't even play a single raid just getting kicked from the server. i invested 120$ and its not a joke. need refund or fix the problem. thanks.

Hola queridos compañeros de Latinoamérica, Me gustaría contar con la opinión de la comunidad con respecto al estado actual de los servidores en nuestra región. Los invito a que completen la encuesta de arriba y dejen su comentario mientras respete las reglas del foro y sea cuan constructivo y objetivo posible. Gracias!

I have a question/suggestion/request to the devs. Is there a plan to add another server for the Middle East? a proper one. A server in UAE (Dubai) will be good for the region. Currently there are two servers, Turkey and Tel-Aviv which are both for me 150+ ping. EU servers are 120+ ping. Adding a server there will be good for the entire region for all players. and I believe there is a minimum of 300 players so I am not the only one. This will reduce lag, disconnects and it will most likely increase the player base too. To my understanding server support already exists in UAE (Dubai) and also Bahrain. Ping is critical to FPS games like this one especially when it comes to PvP so please add a server in the region as soon as possible. If you reached this point thank you for reading this and please let me know what YOU think.

the new ping limit being at 180ms i really really do believe is a huge hinderance to the game as a whole. 250-300 is where the realm of max ping should ALWAYS be at, because going past that oversteps the bounds and essentially region-locks the game for no real benefit. maybe for some people it's not a problem, but if i'm having troubles playing with my international friends, or having troubles finding matches since i'm playing off-peak hours, i'm now unable to play this game. i understand that this game is in beta, but that really shouldn't mean developers should take this type of action to combat this type of issue. i do believe the cap needs to be in place, but the lower you go, the worse of an impact it has, and rn its way too far. packet loss kicks already deal with lagswitchers, and if theres an issue with ping this low, its a netcode issue, not a ping issue. i really hope people will at least consider getting the devs to raise the ping limit way back up, since playing it with international friends rn is a dream. thanks, aytoms

Last wipe I played on Hong Kong servers with a lot of my friends from Asia and Australia, but now from this current wipe after around 2 weeks of playing, I am barely able to connect to Singapore which is my closest server to my country and my friends cant connect to Singapore or Hong Kong. Im not sure what happened here but my suggestion for server lag that people have been reporting has been caused by the new encryption system would be to remove this new system and replace it with a system that scans EFT being scanned throughout your raids to see if anything is interfering with Tarkov which shouldn't. Things like Ge-force Experience would be interfering with Tarkov but would be allowed while things like Radar which is an external or internal hack would be scanned and picked up from this Anti-Cheat and reported to the Developers. This could be a system in the loading screen or a system that continuously runs as you play.

So, in the past two weeks I've been struggling to play with my friend who lives in Malaysia. Im in Australia I understand that pings a big issue, but being that hes a good friend I wanted to play with him through out the fresh wipe. We've also played before, with roughly 150 ping being on his servers, which is fine for me. Now on the other hand, we can't even play together anymore... The servers have all spiked in ping, and now when he plays on my servers or I play on his servers we get booted out consistently due to ping. Does anyone know what the hell happened ?

I know you just started to lock the ping my friend in China cannot play US servers any more since today. Can you give me a way to play this game with my friend? I used to play on asia servers but for now the matching time is too long, i need wait more than ten minutes on waiting match. Several days ago, my friend came to American servers and he had about 180 ping lag. I think it is acceptable to play this game. Let players play with others from all the world please.

Hello, I just wanted to point out the issue that there aren't any decent Middle East servers whatsoever. I want to preface this by saying that I'm playing from the UAE and I get: Tel Aviv - 200 Ping Turkey - 150 Ping I have better ping playing on European servers. Getting disconnected from raid isn't rare and usually ruins the game between the time I have to get disconnected, reconnect and re-load the map. It would make alot of sense to have a server in the UAE, or Saudi Arabia.

Hey there, I'm the new Emissary for South Africa on these forums. Over the past few months/years, there have been topics rising up and down regarding South African servers. A lot of them either went unnoticed or without a definite response from the development team. There was a topic about a year ago that received quite a fair number of replies from South Africans, some even vouching on behalf of their friends, just to see if there are enough players. Keep in mind that almost everybody replied were South Africans speaking English and active on the forums. A lot of my friends who are also from South Africa would only look to getting the game after the server's release, and if it does happen, it will greatly boost the player base here, allowing for a wider audience (and potentially even make that Afrikaans forum way more active, considering there will be more Afrikaans players). We are sick of having to play with over 200ms for every game that's multiplayer. CS:GO added South African servers and the community is extremely strong there, whereas PUBG didn't and we're still fighting for the servers. I would like to request for all of you to please comment your thoughts. If you're South African, please let us know! Thanks.

for the last 4 days nothing but disconnected from server, every single raid, or I finally get into a game and everyone Is running in place and I get shot from nothing, until you fix the servers and have the game playable before you keep shoving content into the game. I know all of you die hard tarkov lovers are going to say, choose a different server, get better internet, get a better pc. I have very good internet, a high end computer and I always try to rotate servers plus this is the only game to do this to me. please fix the servers before shoving more content into the game thanks.

If someone's ping is on average going to be too high to stay on the server and will be auto-kicked, then that person should not be allowed to join the server in the first place. If the person is playing solo it should keep matching looking for a server that is within the acceptable latency. If they are in a group across other areas it should also do this. If no acceptable server can be found, then the player should be prompted and returned to the Menu screen after a certain amount of time as well as with a notification saying it was due to being unable to find a server with an adequate connection. As a personal example, I'm an American living in Japan. Because of that fact, I'm generally restricted to the Asia servers. Originally when I played with my friends or family in America and joined American-side server I could play with a 120-140 ping presumably on West Coast servers. As of late, it's really hit and miss to find any server that I can play with them on currently. However, sometimes I get brought in with a ping that is constantly changing. Something to this effect: 120, 160, 120, 140, 220, 170, 120, 210, ... Now why there is so much variation in the ping I'm not sure, but that's a recent change with the last 2 updates. In any case, there are times where I am connected to a game with one of them and the ping is already over 200. First, I don't wish to play in a game with that high of a ping. And secondly, the game almost always immediately kicks me as I load in and I am unable to load back in without being immediately kicked again. I know I cannot be the only person that wants to play with friends in different locations and not have to worry about just donating all our gear to the server because we were placed in a high latency server above the threshold and automatically kicked.

Hola como les va compañeros, espero que bien, por si no se enteraron ya hay servers en latino america, "40 ping" supuestamente al entrar a las partidas marca 300 de ping pero se juega fluido. La consulta y por eso abro tema es: - por que tantas largas colas de espera? - por que en necesario generar una escuadra para encontrar partida rapido? - alguien mas tiene problemas para encontrar partida ? - pasen ID para jugar

Hello Devs! Hope you guys are having a nice day of work! 😃 Recently I noticed that my ping on the San Paulo Servers is too high for my location, I live in a city called Belo Horizonte that is about 400km from São Paulo. In the beginning of the year my ping was about 40, and I played on both MIAMI and SAN PAULO. Yesterday I noticed that I rarely get a good ping (not RED) Server, so I checked only San Paulo from the server list(when i could check, because the ping was too high or the connection timed out), and the ping was about 140, 150. My ping in others games is fine for Sao Paulo Servers (CSGO, LOL, HUNT SHOWDOWN) So, Do you guys now about this issue? Is this even a issue at all?? is my internet provider trolling me? is there anything I can do to lower my ping or help you guys do that? last tiny question, is there gonna be more south american servers? Argentina, Colombia, chile? Thanks for your hard work!

UIltimamente EFT ha estado presentando multiples fallas, pero hoy creo que para mi ya aburrrió. 2 veces en mis raid el servidor se apaga "Server goes off" y al tratar de entrar aparezco muerto por un scav. Perdí misiones, equipamiento y loot, perdí horas de juego. Solo es en el mapa Reserve, que asco.

Not sure how it all even works , not claiming to be a savant of this sort of issue, however is there anyone else who agrees its a bit stupid that once a player ping spikes in raid it immediately boots you and leaves you to the wolves defenseless? Maybe I am just whining but I have lost upwards of 10 mil this week due to disconnects alone. And yes i do know that the actual disconnects are on me and the poo internet i have but just wondering if anyone else out there felt the same.

Percebi que desde ontem dia 02/04/2020 não consigo encontrar nenhuma partida no mapa Interchange, simplesmente a fila fica por vários minutos sem encontrar nenhuma partida, perguntei à alguns amigos e na comunidade de EFT brasileira no Facebook, vi que muitos estão tendo o mesmo problema. Peço aos desenvolvedores para que verifiquem o que está acontecendo.

With 5-10 minutes wait time between game launches it is obvious that more servers need to be installed in Australia. The latest update has COMPLETELY BROKEN gaming in Australia (down-under) as before Singapore and HongKong could be selected but now any server with pings over 150ms cannot be selected. Is there a way to configure the server selection manually via an .ini file? Can someone direct me to where the thread about getting more Australian Servers is? If anyone knows a dev at Tarkov let them know that we really need Australia Servers as 3 fellow gamers said this is worse than DayZ server issues back in the day. MrCyberdude

So i've had this game for 3 months now and it seems like this problem is not going away any time soon. Every time i load in to a raid, whether its a pmc or scav, i first load the map. Fine . I then proceed to find a lobby and 'loading loot' appears. Fine. It is when all the loading for the raid is complete that a 'server connection lost' black screen appears and i am unable to join the raid. Rejoining does not seem to work and relaunching the game does not either. I have tried opening ports, allowing eft past the firewall, using ipv4 instead of ipv6 and a whole host of different things only to see the server connection lost screen again and again. This is happening 90% of raids and is making the game completely unplayable. i've noticed similar threads for the past 2 years and not a single one has come to a concrete solution. Please for the love of god can someone who actually works for BSG or someone with a fix reply! i don't want any reply's regarding my internet connection or the fact that the game is in beta. This is truly unacceptable.

I know this is a copy paste, but to think there is even a chance to have our own server is something we think we needed but not quite. Keluh kesah, nimbrung sini silahkan gan

Thanks Tarkov for giving servers that gives non stop disconnect, crashing the game go back in and then YUP you guessed it disconnect \o/ and another one after that by the end of the raid i was SO ducking close to escape oh YES disconnect! and got killed ! YAY duck these servers

can EFT add support for mobile hotspots to connect to the servers? As a truck driver thats usually my only choice when trying to play online.
