Escape from Tarkov throws players into intense raids where survival and loot are king. But what happens if you get interrupted mid-raid? Well, this is an issue players have been facing recently where the game servers crash mid-raid. This sudden server connection loss can turn an adrenaline-pumped gameplay into a frustrating experience.
When in a raid, the servers can crash at any time, from the initial infiltration to the crucial moments near the extraction point. This sudden crash abruptly disconnects players from the game, resulting in lost loot, gear, and progress. It leaves players with no information about what happened to their character, loot, or game. There are multiple reports on Reddit where users complain about the same.
This user even added a video of the issue:
The developers of Escape from Tarkov are aware of the issue and have acknowledged it on Twitter. While an exact cause hasn’t been disclosed yet, a technical update that claims to have reduced the raid time servers undergoing updates to 10 minutes has been installed. Players can download this update using the launcher.
Currently, there isn’t any workaround other than installing the technical update and waiting for the developers to fix the server. However, some players claim that lowering the game’s graphics and reconnecting to the server works, but it may take multiple attempts. If these help, consider yourself lucky, as these are merely workarounds and not permanent solutions.
Battlestate Games, the developers of Escape from Tarkov, constantly update their servers to prevent errors like these. In the meantime, players should stay connected to the game’s Twitter channel for future updates.
