Please address late spawns

April 9, 2020

Just read the above. It's simple. Don't allow sessions to start if people are going to spawn late.

Bumping this one. It is damn annoying. 7 minuts into raid. We spawned one by one just on sights of termo/nocto team. REAP-IR and noctos + gear gone in 1m. FFS! Either spawn away from players in such case or dont allow to join active session!

Why should other people wait for someone who is loading for 7 minutes? We had this back in the day - no late spawns. What happened we were "Waiting for other players" for quite the long time if one of the players had a bad connection or SUPER SLOW hdd.

This is my second post, yet Im struggling not to call people retards. Funny how this seems to be main theme of people online nowadays.
1. Why should other people be punished because you paid more for gaming rig or have better connection? Seriously, is this a **** measuring contest?
2. Game loading times are not consistent. I have it on SSD + fiber, yet sometimes I load as first and have to wait for other teammates, sometimes I take extra time. No, I dont have 486.
3. Why on earth better rig should give you deployment advantage? Are you so dense that you cant comprehend that devs can implement better queues? Is this something incomprehensible ?

I had a 1 minute load in time. The raid was already 2 minutes in... I was also waiting for players.

from my experience load times have to do with two things mainly. Firstly its connection/server this could include a few things. Slow internet, using wifi instead of a hard line like ethernet or playing on servers farther away then normal. Half of my team plays in the UK and when i host they spawn in quite late rather frequently so sometimes you could have the best rig but if you aren't playing on a hard line And you are playing with people who may space out your servers a bit that could be a big part of your issue.

The second point to take into account with these issues is the actual computer (this is more for anyone else happening on the post since the person i'm replying to is saying they have a decent computer) one of our UK guys has a distinctly not good PC, don't know his specific specs but he always loads in late even on his own servers. Where-as the other guy in the same location only loads in late when he plays on servers with us (in the USA) but has a decent PC.

These are not suggestions to really fix the issues but just something to keep an eye out for to help a bit with anyone having these issues consistently. I personally basically never load late into a raid but it does still happen on occasion. This is mostly because as another poster said most of us would rather spawn a minute or two late then not get in at all because what is happening is a raid started without you the game sees no servers up for you and just pushes you into a server that had already started instead of making you wait "X" amount of time. This was changed to do this a lot more when we had that crazy influx of players a few months back to help elevate the "matching" time and to put more people in per game.

All that being said if you are waiting over 7 minutes something is wrong i haven't heard of someone spawning that late in awhile so you may want to at-least submit a support ticket and also check with your service provider because with everyone home due to quarantines a lot of service providers are currently realizing they F*cked up when they have to provide the quality service they promised everyone.

I'll guarantee you it has nothing to do with computers at least in my personal case (I am using a hybrid 2080ti, 9900k with 32gig of RAM and my internet speed is wired 1GB down/40up), ensuring all Tarkov servers checked on the starter is < 100 ping). I still get this issue. It is absolutely annoying.

This needs to be addressed, I agree OP. Shouldn't have sessions starting with players spawning in late. It defeats the purpose of ensuring regions of the map are cleared when someone is going to just spawn in behind you 30 seconds later. Totally takes away the realism. If I wanted this kind of gameplay, I would play COD or go offline mode in this game with horde mode on the Scavs.
