Spawning in late to raids is honestly my biggest problem currently.

September 6, 2018

Escape from Tarkov has a ton of problems, and plenty of big ones that of course need rectifying sooner than this one, but this one has gotten me killed in some of the most frustrating ways.

The game has been spawning me into raids, whether it be Customs, Interchange, anything at all, at least a few minutes late. Sometimes it doesn't do this at all, so it leads me to think this is just a match making issue. When it does happen however, I find myself dying almost immediately. I recently spawned near the Military Checkpoint on customs, and I was spawned in a minute and thirty seconds into the round, I immediately start walking past the truck and am shot to death by a geared dude just sitting around a few feet away.

I've run interchange and spawned five minutes into a round, to immediately be killed by two geared players who had enough time to catch me on my route to the IDEA they wouldn't have been able to had they spawned at the same time. This puts me on the backpedal when this happens, and feels so much worse to lose gear from this than any other way.

This has been a problem for a long ass time, but recently it has just felt more noticeable to me for some reason. I hope it is hopefully fixed finally in the next couple of patches. Thanks for reading.

Honestly, this used to be a huge issue for me, but i personally have noticed i haven't had that issue in a while, i seem to always spawn in either at full time or like less than a minute after full time. They've probably already covered this topic, in-depth (Spoiler alert: Make sure you do an intense search using the search bar before you post a topic, i'm almost 99% sure this has been covered many times before), but i would love to hear BSG on what makes this happen? Like, is it just a matchmaking issue? Not enough sessions? Too many sessions? Lag? Hard drive/cpu load times? Like, what makes one spawn in late?

But yes, personally, i have not had the issue in a while, i thought it was just an issue that was fixed

Yea it does suck but they said the fix is coming.

I had multiple raids yesterday where I didn't notice and lost out on possibles loot and kills early on.

"Find 2 flash drives", "easy right? I'll just check some computer and tech shops"

> Spawn in on Interchange
> 20 minutes left in the raid, stores and computers completely empty apart from useless junk

"Yeeeeah whatever I'll try the tent on Woods".

> Spawn in on Woods
> 15 minutes left in the raid, tent obviously empty

"what about the OLI key for Ragman"

> Spawn in on Customs, 59:30 minutes "God, FINALLY"
> Go to blue Dacia in front of WH4
> Boot closed
> Open it, key still not there

Gotta love skill-based quests, not random and frustrating at all. GJ.

The flash drive quest is so so much better now with the addition of Interchange. I distinctly remember having to book it on woods for the tent spawn, and it'd be RNG where you spawn and if the flash drives spawn at all.
