Problem with in-group raids

March 3, 2020

been playing the game for 1 year by now. NEVER got this bug, n e v e r.

It has been two weeks since the first time this happened. I was in a normal night, playing tarkov with friends. Got to the customs lobby, joined my friends group, waited for the game to start and then i got the warning from my friends that the game had already started, and for me it was still matching.

I've waited it forever to see if i was going to join with them, but no. They escaped the raid and i was still into the matching bug. Again, i played the game for a YEAR now, and i NEVER GOT THIS PROBLEM. NEVER.

I've done everything, from restarting my pc to flushing DNS, restarting the internet router. EVERYTHING. AND I CAN'T STILL PLAY THE GAME WITH MY FRIENDS =)

I really don't want to lose hope, but since december i can't find any means to why i should try to play the game anymore. The funny thing is that i paid a poo ton of money for nothing.

Please, fix this, im tired of this damn problem, i wan't to play with my friends again without getting completely angry and saddened at a time i was supossed to be happy and having FUN with a raid again.

Also, i've tried to play in factory, interchange, shoreline, reserve, YOU NAME IT! It's completely random if this problem is going to happen or not, sometimes it happens and sometimes i join the raid normally. The fact is that i'm getting this EVERYDAY i play.

Tired of it.

My friend had this bug. If it happens again, try alt-f4 or exiting normally then launch game and you should get the option to reconnect. That worked for him.

I've done this, but unfortunatelly i got no option to reconnect.

Also, funny thing is that i can play normally with them as a scav.

The problem is only with PMC.

I rarely get this. but when i do it sucks real bad....

I will sometimes get straight Disconnected if i get stuck at "Awaiting Session Start" to long...

This just happened to me last night, but not as bad as OP. Fortunately i was just a few minutes behind my team when I was in a duo, trio, and 4-man team. I'm usually the first one in a raid as well, but this is what happened...

- all 3 guys yell "LOADING LOOT!" at 3 minute mark. i'm still in "matching" up until 8 minute mark. I luckily got in the game and was able to catch up to them.

- we play a new game. all 3 guys load into game. i'm "loading loot". i get "server connection error". wait for game to re-load in main menu and it says i'm in a raid so i click to continue back in the same raid.

- we play a new game. all 3 guys yell "loading loot!" at 5 minute mark. i'm still in "matching" at 6 minute mark. I alt F4 and re-open the game. game loads and says i'm still in a raid. i click to continue in the same raid and i eventually find my friends after taking some friendly fire (i told them i was coming from left side of a building, but it was their right side. it was my fault for not saying "my left side, your right side").

It started happening to me when i play with my friend and it's about to spawn us at north-east hidden stash at customs (the one behind the fence), not sure why that spot only. What happens is he gets past matching, gets the countdown and gets in, and i get stuck on matching for quite a while.

He ends up having to wait for me and keep the spot clean until the game decides to let me in, which kinda sucks because we end up starting late, missing the marked room fights and so on.
