## Braving teh Battlestate: The Tarkov Wipe and Its Turbulent Launch
**[Introduction Music]**
**Host:** Welcome back to Archyde’s Gaming Globe. Today,we delve into the tumultuous launch of Escape From Tarkov’s latest wipe. The highly anticipated reset, which brought a wave of fresh content and gameplay to the unforgiving world of Tarkov, was unfortunately marred by technical issues that left many players stranded and frustrated.
Joining us to analyze the situation and offer his outlook is renowned Tarkov veteran and community contributor, Alex Reed. Welcome to the show.
**Alex Reed:** Thanks for having me. It’s certainly been a chaotic launch,to say the least.
**Host:** Let’s talk about the initial impact. Server congestion was expected given the massive player influx, but what other issues arose that hinted at deeper problems?
**Alex Reed:** From the outset, it was clear that the issues went beyond server strain. Players, myself included, encountered persistent micro-stuttering, sudden performance drops, and even abrupt disconnections right as thay loaded into raids. It felt like the game itself was struggling to handle even basic functions. [ [1](https://forum.escapefromtarkov.com/topic/166021-im-having-performance-issues-after-patchwipe-not-amd/) ]
**host:** It sounds like a nightmare for any Tarkov player. Were these problems exclusive to certain hardware setups, or did they affect a wide range of players?
**Alex Reed**: Based on community feedback, it seemed to be a widespread issue. [ [1](https://forum.escapefromtarkov.com/topic/166021-im-having-performance-issues-after-patchwipe-not-amd/) ]There’s a post on the Tarkov forums with a thread full of players reporting similar problems, regardless of weather they were using high-end rigs or more modest setups.
**Host**: Beyond general performance, were there any specific gameplay bugs that further impacted players’ experience?
**Alex Reed:** Absolutely.Many reported cases of losing gear despite successfully extracting from raids, which is a huge deal in Tarkov, where every piece of loot is precious. Others encountered bugs that let them retain their gear even after dying, which throws the game’s realistic balance fully out of whack. There were even issues with quests failing to reward players correctly or failing altogether.
**host:** These are serious problems that can significantly dampen the enjoyment of a game already known for its difficulty. how has the development team, Battlestate Games, responded to these widespread issues?
**Alex Reed:** Battlestate has acknowledged the problems and has been actively working on hotfixes and patches to address them. They’ve been communicating with the community, which is appreciated, but it’s clear that these issues need further attention and a more long-term solution.
**Host:** It sounds like a challenging situation for both the developers and the players. Do you think that these technical problems will ultimately overshadow the positive aspects of the new wipe?
**Alex Reed:** It’s certainly a setback, but I’m hopeful. This community is incredibly passionate and resilient. We’ve weathered storms before. What ultimately matters is that Battlestate Games demonstrates a commitment to fixing these issues and ensuring a stable and enjoyable experience for everyone.
**Host**: Well said. We certainly hope for a smoother ride for all brave souls venturing into Tarkov in the future. Alex Reed, thank you so much for sharing yoru insights and experiences with us today.
**Alex Reed**: My pleasure.

Recent Escape From Tarkov Patch Brings New Issues, Fixes on the Way
Escape From Tarkov’s latest patch aimed to tackle numerous player-reported issues, promising a smoother experience following the recent game wipe. Though, some problems, particularly with PvE raid saving, persisted, leaving players frustrated. The biggest issue revolves around the failure of PvE raids to save properly.This means that players can successfully extract from a raid but lose their hard-earned gear upon completion. As an extraction shooter, this is a major problem, substantially impacting gameplay. “This is a pretty big issue for an extraction shooter,” echoing the sentiment of many players navigating this frustrating bug. Fortunately, Battlestate Games, the developers behind Escape From Tarkov, are aware of the issue and actively working on a solution. In a statement released on the official Escape From Tarkov social media channels, they confirmed that a new patch addressing this issue, along with other remaining bugs, is forthcoming. Another concern that may require more time to resolve is a noticeable drop in performance following the recent patch. Many players have reported performance issues as the update. This likely stems from the game’s recent engine upgrade to Unity 2022. While this move promises long-term benefits, it appears that optimizing performance will be a gradual process. More details on the upcoming patches and their timelines are expected to be released soon.Performance Improvements on the Horizon for 2025

While server load due to the massive influx of players was expected, several issues pointed to deeper technical problems within the game itself. Players reported encountering micro-stutters, significant performance drops, and abrupt disconnections from raids instantly upon map loading.

Recent Escape From Tarkov Patch Brings New Issues, Fixes on the Way
Escape From Tarkov’s latest patch aimed to tackle numerous player-reported issues, promising a smoother experience following the recent game wipe. Though, some problems, particularly with PvE raid saving, persisted, leaving players frustrated. The biggest issue revolves around the failure of PvE raids to save properly.This means that players can successfully extract from a raid but lose their hard-earned gear upon completion. As an extraction shooter, this is a major problem, substantially impacting gameplay. “This is a pretty big issue for an extraction shooter,” echoing the sentiment of many players navigating this frustrating bug. Fortunately, Battlestate Games, the developers behind Escape From Tarkov, are aware of the issue and actively working on a solution. In a statement released on the official Escape From Tarkov social media channels, they confirmed that a new patch addressing this issue, along with other remaining bugs, is forthcoming. Another concern that may require more time to resolve is a noticeable drop in performance following the recent patch. Many players have reported performance issues as the update. This likely stems from the game’s recent engine upgrade to Unity 2022. While this move promises long-term benefits, it appears that optimizing performance will be a gradual process. More details on the upcoming patches and their timelines are expected to be released soon.Performance Improvements on the Horizon for 2025
Even though specific details are scarce, exciting news has surfaced regarding the future of a popular platform.During a recent TV stream, the announcement was made that performance and optimization will be key focus areas for the coming year, 2025. This commitment suggests that the progress team is actively working to address any existing performance issues and enhance the overall user experience.
“It was announced that one of the main focuses for 2025 is to improve performance and optimization, so it is indeed at least something the devs are aware of.”

**Host:** Welcome back to Archyde’s Gaming Globe. Today,we delve into the tumultuous launch of Escape From Tarkov’s latest wipe. The highly anticipated reset, which brought a wave of fresh content and gameplay to the unforgiving world of Tarkov, was unfortunately marred by technical issues that left many players stranded and frustrated.
Joining us to analyze the situation and offer his outlook is renowned Tarkov veteran and community contributor, Alex Reed. Welcome to the show.
**Alex Reed:** Thanks for having me. It’s certainly been a chaotic launch,to say the least.
**Host:** Let’s talk about the initial impact. Server congestion was expected given the massive player influx, but what other issues arose that hinted at deeper problems?
**Alex Reed:** From the outset, it was clear that the issues went beyond server strain. Players, myself included, encountered persistent micro-stuttering, sudden performance drops, and even abrupt disconnections right as thay loaded into raids. It felt like the game itself was struggling to handle even basic functions. [ [1](https://forum.escapefromtarkov.com/topic/166021-im-having-performance-issues-after-patchwipe-not-amd/) ]
**host:** It sounds like a nightmare for any Tarkov player. Were these problems exclusive to certain hardware setups, or did they affect a wide range of players?
**Alex Reed**: Based on community feedback, it seemed to be a widespread issue. [ [1](https://forum.escapefromtarkov.com/topic/166021-im-having-performance-issues-after-patchwipe-not-amd/) ]There’s a post on the Tarkov forums with a thread full of players reporting similar problems, regardless of weather they were using high-end rigs or more modest setups.
**Host**: Beyond general performance, were there any specific gameplay bugs that further impacted players’ experience?
**Alex Reed:** Absolutely.Many reported cases of losing gear despite successfully extracting from raids, which is a huge deal in Tarkov, where every piece of loot is precious. Others encountered bugs that let them retain their gear even after dying, which throws the game’s realistic balance fully out of whack. There were even issues with quests failing to reward players correctly or failing altogether.
**host:** These are serious problems that can significantly dampen the enjoyment of a game already known for its difficulty. how has the development team, Battlestate Games, responded to these widespread issues?
**Alex Reed:** Battlestate has acknowledged the problems and has been actively working on hotfixes and patches to address them. They’ve been communicating with the community, which is appreciated, but it’s clear that these issues need further attention and a more long-term solution.
**Host:** It sounds like a challenging situation for both the developers and the players. Do you think that these technical problems will ultimately overshadow the positive aspects of the new wipe?
**Alex Reed:** It’s certainly a setback, but I’m hopeful. This community is incredibly passionate and resilient. We’ve weathered storms before. What ultimately matters is that Battlestate Games demonstrates a commitment to fixing these issues and ensuring a stable and enjoyable experience for everyone.
**Host**: Well said. We certainly hope for a smoother ride for all brave souls venturing into Tarkov in the future. Alex Reed, thank you so much for sharing yoru insights and experiences with us today.
**Alex Reed**: My pleasure.

Recent Escape From Tarkov Patch Brings New Issues, Fixes on the Way
Escape From Tarkov’s latest patch aimed to tackle numerous player-reported issues, promising a smoother experience following the recent game wipe. Though, some problems, particularly with PvE raid saving, persisted, leaving players frustrated. The biggest issue revolves around the failure of PvE raids to save properly.This means that players can successfully extract from a raid but lose their hard-earned gear upon completion. As an extraction shooter, this is a major problem, substantially impacting gameplay. “This is a pretty big issue for an extraction shooter,” echoing the sentiment of many players navigating this frustrating bug. Fortunately, Battlestate Games, the developers behind Escape From Tarkov, are aware of the issue and actively working on a solution. In a statement released on the official Escape From Tarkov social media channels, they confirmed that a new patch addressing this issue, along with other remaining bugs, is forthcoming. Another concern that may require more time to resolve is a noticeable drop in performance following the recent patch. Many players have reported performance issues as the update. This likely stems from the game’s recent engine upgrade to Unity 2022. While this move promises long-term benefits, it appears that optimizing performance will be a gradual process. More details on the upcoming patches and their timelines are expected to be released soon.Performance Improvements on the Horizon for 2025
Even though specific details are scarce, exciting news has surfaced regarding the future of a popular platform.During a recent TV stream, the announcement was made that performance and optimization will be key focus areas for the coming year, 2025. This commitment suggests that the progress team is actively working to address any existing performance issues and enhance the overall user experience.
“It was announced that one of the main focuses for 2025 is to improve performance and optimization, so it is indeed at least something the devs are aware of.”
## Braving teh Battlestate: The Tarkov Wipe and Its Turbulent Launch
**[Introduction Music]**
**Host:** Welcome back to Archyde’s Gaming Globe. Today,we delve into the tumultuous launch of Escape From Tarkov’s latest wipe. The highly anticipated reset, which brought a wave of fresh content and gameplay to the unforgiving world of Tarkov, was unfortunately marred by technical issues that left many players stranded and frustrated.
Joining us to analyze the situation and offer his outlook is renowned Tarkov veteran and community contributor, Alex Reed. Welcome to the show.
**Alex Reed:** Thanks for having me. It’s certainly been a chaotic launch,to say the least.
**Host:** Let’s talk about the initial impact. Server congestion was expected given the massive player influx, but what other issues arose that hinted at deeper problems?
**Alex Reed:** From the outset, it was clear that the issues went beyond server strain. Players, myself included, encountered persistent micro-stuttering, sudden performance drops, and even abrupt disconnections right as thay loaded into raids. It felt like the game itself was struggling to handle even basic functions. [ [1](https://forum.escapefromtarkov.com/topic/166021-im-having-performance-issues-after-patchwipe-not-amd/) ]
**host:** It sounds like a nightmare for any Tarkov player. Were these problems exclusive to certain hardware setups, or did they affect a wide range of players?
**Alex Reed**: Based on community feedback, it seemed to be a widespread issue. [ [1](https://forum.escapefromtarkov.com/topic/166021-im-having-performance-issues-after-patchwipe-not-amd/) ]There’s a post on the Tarkov forums with a thread full of players reporting similar problems, regardless of weather they were using high-end rigs or more modest setups.
**Host**: Beyond general performance, were there any specific gameplay bugs that further impacted players’ experience?
**Alex Reed:** Absolutely.Many reported cases of losing gear despite successfully extracting from raids, which is a huge deal in Tarkov, where every piece of loot is precious. Others encountered bugs that let them retain their gear even after dying, which throws the game’s realistic balance fully out of whack. There were even issues with quests failing to reward players correctly or failing altogether.
**host:** These are serious problems that can significantly dampen the enjoyment of a game already known for its difficulty. how has the development team, Battlestate Games, responded to these widespread issues?
**Alex Reed:** Battlestate has acknowledged the problems and has been actively working on hotfixes and patches to address them. They’ve been communicating with the community, which is appreciated, but it’s clear that these issues need further attention and a more long-term solution.
**Host:** It sounds like a challenging situation for both the developers and the players. Do you think that these technical problems will ultimately overshadow the positive aspects of the new wipe?
**Alex Reed:** It’s certainly a setback, but I’m hopeful. This community is incredibly passionate and resilient. We’ve weathered storms before. What ultimately matters is that Battlestate Games demonstrates a commitment to fixing these issues and ensuring a stable and enjoyable experience for everyone.
**Host**: Well said. We certainly hope for a smoother ride for all brave souls venturing into Tarkov in the future. Alex Reed, thank you so much for sharing yoru insights and experiences with us today.

## Braving teh Battlestate: The Tarkov Wipe and Its Turbulent Launch
**[Introduction Music]**
**Host:** Welcome back to Archyde’s Gaming Globe. Today,we delve into the tumultuous launch of Escape From Tarkov’s latest wipe. The highly anticipated reset, which brought a wave of fresh content and gameplay to the unforgiving world of Tarkov, was unfortunately marred by technical issues that left many players stranded and frustrated.
Joining us to analyze the situation and offer his outlook is renowned Tarkov veteran and community contributor, Alex Reed. Welcome to the show.
**Alex Reed:** Thanks for having me. It’s certainly been a chaotic launch,to say the least.
**Host:** Let’s talk about the initial impact. Server congestion was expected given the massive player influx, but what other issues arose that hinted at deeper problems?
**Alex Reed:** From the outset, it was clear that the issues went beyond server strain. Players, myself included, encountered persistent micro-stuttering, sudden performance drops, and even abrupt disconnections right as thay loaded into raids. It felt like the game itself was struggling to handle even basic functions. [ [1](https://forum.escapefromtarkov.com/topic/166021-im-having-performance-issues-after-patchwipe-not-amd/) ]
**host:** It sounds like a nightmare for any Tarkov player. Were these problems exclusive to certain hardware setups, or did they affect a wide range of players?
**Alex Reed**: Based on community feedback, it seemed to be a widespread issue. [ [1](https://forum.escapefromtarkov.com/topic/166021-im-having-performance-issues-after-patchwipe-not-amd/) ]There’s a post on the Tarkov forums with a thread full of players reporting similar problems, regardless of weather they were using high-end rigs or more modest setups.
**Host**: Beyond general performance, were there any specific gameplay bugs that further impacted players’ experience?
**Alex Reed:** Absolutely.Many reported cases of losing gear despite successfully extracting from raids, which is a huge deal in Tarkov, where every piece of loot is precious. Others encountered bugs that let them retain their gear even after dying, which throws the game’s realistic balance fully out of whack. There were even issues with quests failing to reward players correctly or failing altogether.
**host:** These are serious problems that can significantly dampen the enjoyment of a game already known for its difficulty. how has the development team, Battlestate Games, responded to these widespread issues?
**Alex Reed:** Battlestate has acknowledged the problems and has been actively working on hotfixes and patches to address them. They’ve been communicating with the community, which is appreciated, but it’s clear that these issues need further attention and a more long-term solution.
**Host:** It sounds like a challenging situation for both the developers and the players. Do you think that these technical problems will ultimately overshadow the positive aspects of the new wipe?
**Alex Reed:** It’s certainly a setback, but I’m hopeful. This community is incredibly passionate and resilient. We’ve weathered storms before. What ultimately matters is that Battlestate Games demonstrates a commitment to fixing these issues and ensuring a stable and enjoyable experience for everyone.
**Host**: Well said. We certainly hope for a smoother ride for all brave souls venturing into Tarkov in the future. Alex Reed, thank you so much for sharing yoru insights and experiences with us today.
**Alex Reed**: My pleasure.

## Escape From Tarkov‘s Latest Wipe: Technical Troubles Plague Launch The highly anticipated wipe for *Escape From Tarkov* launched on December 25th, 2024, bringing with it a wave of excitement from players eager to experience the refreshed gameplay adn new content. However, the launch was marred by numerous technical issues, disrupting the experience for many.

Recent Escape From Tarkov Patch Brings New Issues, Fixes on the Way
Escape From Tarkov’s latest patch aimed to tackle numerous player-reported issues, promising a smoother experience following the recent game wipe. Though, some problems, particularly with PvE raid saving, persisted, leaving players frustrated. The biggest issue revolves around the failure of PvE raids to save properly.This means that players can successfully extract from a raid but lose their hard-earned gear upon completion. As an extraction shooter, this is a major problem, substantially impacting gameplay. “This is a pretty big issue for an extraction shooter,” echoing the sentiment of many players navigating this frustrating bug. Fortunately, Battlestate Games, the developers behind Escape From Tarkov, are aware of the issue and actively working on a solution. In a statement released on the official Escape From Tarkov social media channels, they confirmed that a new patch addressing this issue, along with other remaining bugs, is forthcoming. Another concern that may require more time to resolve is a noticeable drop in performance following the recent patch. Many players have reported performance issues as the update. This likely stems from the game’s recent engine upgrade to Unity 2022. While this move promises long-term benefits, it appears that optimizing performance will be a gradual process. More details on the upcoming patches and their timelines are expected to be released soon.Performance Improvements on the Horizon for 2025

Players, myself included, encountered persistent micro-stuttering, sudden performance drops, and even abrupt disconnections right as thay loaded into raids.

**host:** It sounds like a nightmare for any Tarkov player. Were these problems exclusive to certain hardware setups, or did they affect a wide range of players?
**Alex Reed**: Based on community feedback, it seemed to be a widespread issue. [ [1](https://forum.escapefromtarkov.com/topic/166021-im-having-performance-issues-after-patchwipe-not-amd/) ]There’s a post on the Tarkov forums with a thread full of players reporting similar problems, regardless of weather they were using high-end rigs or more modest setups.
**Host**: Beyond general performance, were there any specific gameplay bugs that further impacted players’ experience?
**Alex Reed:** Absolutely.Many reported cases of losing gear despite successfully extracting from raids, which is a huge deal in Tarkov, where every piece of loot is precious. Others encountered bugs that let them retain their gear even after dying, which throws the game’s realistic balance fully out of whack. There were even issues with quests failing to reward players correctly or failing altogether.
**host:** These are serious problems that can significantly dampen the enjoyment of a game already known for its difficulty. how has the development team, Battlestate Games, responded to these widespread issues?
**Alex Reed:** Battlestate has acknowledged the problems and has been actively working on hotfixes and patches to address them. They’ve been communicating with the community, which is appreciated, but it’s clear that these issues need further attention and a more long-term solution.
**Host:** It sounds like a challenging situation for both the developers and the players. Do you think that these technical problems will ultimately overshadow the positive aspects of the new wipe?
**Alex Reed:** It’s certainly a setback, but I’m hopeful. This community is incredibly passionate and resilient. We’ve weathered storms before. What ultimately matters is that Battlestate Games demonstrates a commitment to fixing these issues and ensuring a stable and enjoyable experience for everyone.
**Host**: Well said. We certainly hope for a smoother ride for all brave souls venturing into Tarkov in the future. Alex Reed, thank you so much for sharing yoru insights and experiences with us today.

## Escape From Tarkov‘s Latest Wipe: Technical Troubles Plague Launch The highly anticipated wipe for *Escape From Tarkov* launched on December 25th, 2024, bringing with it a wave of excitement from players eager to experience the refreshed gameplay adn new content. However, the launch was marred by numerous technical issues, disrupting the experience for many.

Recent Escape From Tarkov Patch Brings New Issues, Fixes on the Way
Escape From Tarkov’s latest patch aimed to tackle numerous player-reported issues, promising a smoother experience following the recent game wipe. Though, some problems, particularly with PvE raid saving, persisted, leaving players frustrated. The biggest issue revolves around the failure of PvE raids to save properly.This means that players can successfully extract from a raid but lose their hard-earned gear upon completion. As an extraction shooter, this is a major problem, substantially impacting gameplay. “This is a pretty big issue for an extraction shooter,” echoing the sentiment of many players navigating this frustrating bug. Fortunately, Battlestate Games, the developers behind Escape From Tarkov, are aware of the issue and actively working on a solution. In a statement released on the official Escape From Tarkov social media channels, they confirmed that a new patch addressing this issue, along with other remaining bugs, is forthcoming. Another concern that may require more time to resolve is a noticeable drop in performance following the recent patch. Many players have reported performance issues as the update. This likely stems from the game’s recent engine upgrade to Unity 2022. While this move promises long-term benefits, it appears that optimizing performance will be a gradual process. More details on the upcoming patches and their timelines are expected to be released soon.Performance Improvements on the Horizon for 2025
Even though specific details are scarce, exciting news has surfaced regarding the future of a popular platform.During a recent TV stream, the announcement was made that performance and optimization will be key focus areas for the coming year, 2025. This commitment suggests that the progress team is actively working to address any existing performance issues and enhance the overall user experience.
“It was announced that one of the main focuses for 2025 is to improve performance and optimization, so it is indeed at least something the devs are aware of.”

## Escape From Tarkov‘s Latest Wipe: Technical Troubles Plague Launch The highly anticipated wipe for *Escape From Tarkov* launched on December 25th, 2024, bringing with it a wave of excitement from players eager to experience the refreshed gameplay adn new content. However, the launch was marred by numerous technical issues, disrupting the experience for many.
A Rocky Start for many Players

Recent Escape From Tarkov Patch Brings New Issues, Fixes on the Way
Escape From Tarkov’s latest patch aimed to tackle numerous player-reported issues, promising a smoother experience following the recent game wipe. Though, some problems, particularly with PvE raid saving, persisted, leaving players frustrated. The biggest issue revolves around the failure of PvE raids to save properly.This means that players can successfully extract from a raid but lose their hard-earned gear upon completion. As an extraction shooter, this is a major problem, substantially impacting gameplay. “This is a pretty big issue for an extraction shooter,” echoing the sentiment of many players navigating this frustrating bug. Fortunately, Battlestate Games, the developers behind Escape From Tarkov, are aware of the issue and actively working on a solution. In a statement released on the official Escape From Tarkov social media channels, they confirmed that a new patch addressing this issue, along with other remaining bugs, is forthcoming. Another concern that may require more time to resolve is a noticeable drop in performance following the recent patch. Many players have reported performance issues as the update. This likely stems from the game’s recent engine upgrade to Unity 2022. While this move promises long-term benefits, it appears that optimizing performance will be a gradual process. More details on the upcoming patches and their timelines are expected to be released soon.Performance Improvements on the Horizon for 2025
Even though specific details are scarce, exciting news has surfaced regarding the future of a popular platform.During a recent TV stream, the announcement was made that performance and optimization will be key focus areas for the coming year, 2025. This commitment suggests that the progress team is actively working to address any existing performance issues and enhance the overall user experience.
“It was announced that one of the main focuses for 2025 is to improve performance and optimization, so it is indeed at least something the devs are aware of.”
## Braving teh Battlestate: The Tarkov Wipe and Its Turbulent Launch
**[Introduction Music]**
**Host:** Welcome back to Archyde’s Gaming Globe. Today,we delve into the tumultuous launch of Escape From Tarkov’s latest wipe. The highly anticipated reset, which brought a wave of fresh content and gameplay to the unforgiving world of Tarkov, was unfortunately marred by technical issues that left many players stranded and frustrated.
Joining us to analyze the situation and offer his outlook is renowned Tarkov veteran and community contributor, Alex Reed. Welcome to the show.
**Alex Reed:** Thanks for having me. It’s certainly been a chaotic launch,to say the least.
**Host:** Let’s talk about the initial impact. Server congestion was expected given the massive player influx, but what other issues arose that hinted at deeper problems?
**Alex Reed:** From the outset, it was clear that the issues went beyond server strain. Players, myself included, encountered persistent micro-stuttering, sudden performance drops, and even abrupt disconnections right as thay loaded into raids. It felt like the game itself was struggling to handle even basic functions. [ [1](https://forum.escapefromtarkov.com/topic/166021-im-having-performance-issues-after-patchwipe-not-amd/) ]
**host:** It sounds like a nightmare for any Tarkov player. Were these problems exclusive to certain hardware setups, or did they affect a wide range of players?
**Alex Reed**: Based on community feedback, it seemed to be a widespread issue. [ [1](https://forum.escapefromtarkov.com/topic/166021-im-having-performance-issues-after-patchwipe-not-amd/) ]There’s a post on the Tarkov forums with a thread full of players reporting similar problems, regardless of weather they were using high-end rigs or more modest setups.
**Host**: Beyond general performance, were there any specific gameplay bugs that further impacted players’ experience?
**Alex Reed:** Absolutely.Many reported cases of losing gear despite successfully extracting from raids, which is a huge deal in Tarkov, where every piece of loot is precious. Others encountered bugs that let them retain their gear even after dying, which throws the game’s realistic balance fully out of whack. There were even issues with quests failing to reward players correctly or failing altogether.

The biggest issue revolves around the failure of PvE raids to save properly.This means that players can successfully extract from a raid but lose their hard-earned gear upon completion. As an extraction shooter, this is a major problem, substantially impacting gameplay. “This is a pretty big issue for an extraction shooter,” echoing the sentiment of many players navigating this frustrating bug. Fortunately, Battlestate Games, the developers behind Escape From Tarkov, are aware of the issue and actively working on a solution. In a statement released on the official Escape From Tarkov social media channels, they confirmed that a new patch addressing this issue, along with other remaining bugs, is forthcoming. Another concern that may require more time to resolve is a noticeable drop in performance following the recent patch. Many players have reported performance issues as the update. This likely stems from the game’s recent engine upgrade to Unity 2022. While this move promises long-term benefits, it appears that optimizing performance will be a gradual process. More details on the upcoming patches and their timelines are expected to be released soon.Performance Improvements on the Horizon for 2025
Even though specific details are scarce, exciting news has surfaced regarding the future of a popular platform.During a recent TV stream, the announcement was made that performance and optimization will be key focus areas for the coming year, 2025. This commitment suggests that the progress team is actively working to address any existing performance issues and enhance the overall user experience.
“It was announced that one of the main focuses for 2025 is to improve performance and optimization, so it is indeed at least something the devs are aware of.”
## Braving teh Battlestate: The Tarkov Wipe and Its Turbulent Launch
**[Introduction Music]**
**Host:** Welcome back to Archyde’s Gaming Globe. Today,we delve into the tumultuous launch of Escape From Tarkov’s latest wipe. The highly anticipated reset, which brought a wave of fresh content and gameplay to the unforgiving world of Tarkov, was unfortunately marred by technical issues that left many players stranded and frustrated.
Joining us to analyze the situation and offer his outlook is renowned Tarkov veteran and community contributor, Alex Reed. Welcome to the show.
**Alex Reed:** Thanks for having me. It’s certainly been a chaotic launch,to say the least.
**Host:** Let’s talk about the initial impact. Server congestion was expected given the massive player influx, but what other issues arose that hinted at deeper problems?
**Alex Reed:** From the outset, it was clear that the issues went beyond server strain. Players, myself included, encountered persistent micro-stuttering, sudden performance drops, and even abrupt disconnections right as thay loaded into raids. It felt like the game itself was struggling to handle even basic functions. [ [1](https://forum.escapefromtarkov.com/topic/166021-im-having-performance-issues-after-patchwipe-not-amd/) ]
**host:** It sounds like a nightmare for any Tarkov player. Were these problems exclusive to certain hardware setups, or did they affect a wide range of players?
**Alex Reed**: Based on community feedback, it seemed to be a widespread issue. [ [1](https://forum.escapefromtarkov.com/topic/166021-im-having-performance-issues-after-patchwipe-not-amd/) ]There’s a post on the Tarkov forums with a thread full of players reporting similar problems, regardless of weather they were using high-end rigs or more modest setups.
**Host**: Beyond general performance, were there any specific gameplay bugs that further impacted players’ experience?
**Alex Reed:** Absolutely.Many reported cases of losing gear despite successfully extracting from raids, which is a huge deal in Tarkov, where every piece of loot is precious. Others encountered bugs that let them retain their gear even after dying, which throws the game’s realistic balance fully out of whack. There were even issues with quests failing to reward players correctly or failing altogether.
**host:** These are serious problems that can significantly dampen the enjoyment of a game already known for its difficulty. how has the development team, Battlestate Games, responded to these widespread issues?
**Alex Reed:** Battlestate has acknowledged the problems and has been actively working on hotfixes and patches to address them. They’ve been communicating with the community, which is appreciated, but it’s clear that these issues need further attention and a more long-term solution.
**Host:** It sounds like a challenging situation for both the developers and the players. Do you think that these technical problems will ultimately overshadow the positive aspects of the new wipe?
**Alex Reed:** It’s certainly a setback, but I’m hopeful. This community is incredibly passionate and resilient. We’ve weathered storms before. What ultimately matters is that Battlestate Games demonstrates a commitment to fixing these issues and ensuring a stable and enjoyable experience for everyone.
**Host**: Well said. We certainly hope for a smoother ride for all brave souls venturing into Tarkov in the future. Alex Reed, thank you so much for sharing yoru insights and experiences with us today.
**Alex Reed**: My pleasure.

## Braving teh Battlestate: The Tarkov Wipe and Its Turbulent Launch
**[Introduction Music]**
**Host:** Welcome back to Archyde’s Gaming Globe. Today,we delve into the tumultuous launch of Escape From Tarkov’s latest wipe. The highly anticipated reset, which brought a wave of fresh content and gameplay to the unforgiving world of Tarkov, was unfortunately marred by technical issues that left many players stranded and frustrated.
Joining us to analyze the situation and offer his outlook is renowned Tarkov veteran and community contributor, Alex Reed. Welcome to the show.
**Alex Reed:** Thanks for having me. It’s certainly been a chaotic launch,to say the least.
**Host:** Let’s talk about the initial impact. Server congestion was expected given the massive player influx, but what other issues arose that hinted at deeper problems?
**Alex Reed:** From the outset, it was clear that the issues went beyond server strain. Players, myself included, encountered persistent micro-stuttering, sudden performance drops, and even abrupt disconnections right as thay loaded into raids. It felt like the game itself was struggling to handle even basic functions. [ [1](https://forum.escapefromtarkov.com/topic/166021-im-having-performance-issues-after-patchwipe-not-amd/) ]
**host:** It sounds like a nightmare for any Tarkov player. Were these problems exclusive to certain hardware setups, or did they affect a wide range of players?
**Alex Reed**: Based on community feedback, it seemed to be a widespread issue. [ [1](https://forum.escapefromtarkov.com/topic/166021-im-having-performance-issues-after-patchwipe-not-amd/) ]There’s a post on the Tarkov forums with a thread full of players reporting similar problems, regardless of weather they were using high-end rigs or more modest setups.
**Host**: Beyond general performance, were there any specific gameplay bugs that further impacted players’ experience?
**Alex Reed:** Absolutely.Many reported cases of losing gear despite successfully extracting from raids, which is a huge deal in Tarkov, where every piece of loot is precious. Others encountered bugs that let them retain their gear even after dying, which throws the game’s realistic balance fully out of whack. There were even issues with quests failing to reward players correctly or failing altogether.
**host:** These are serious problems that can significantly dampen the enjoyment of a game already known for its difficulty. how has the development team, Battlestate Games, responded to these widespread issues?
**Alex Reed:** Battlestate has acknowledged the problems and has been actively working on hotfixes and patches to address them. They’ve been communicating with the community, which is appreciated, but it’s clear that these issues need further attention and a more long-term solution.
**Host:** It sounds like a challenging situation for both the developers and the players. Do you think that these technical problems will ultimately overshadow the positive aspects of the new wipe?
**Alex Reed:** It’s certainly a setback, but I’m hopeful. This community is incredibly passionate and resilient. We’ve weathered storms before. What ultimately matters is that Battlestate Games demonstrates a commitment to fixing these issues and ensuring a stable and enjoyable experience for everyone.
**Host**: Well said. We certainly hope for a smoother ride for all brave souls venturing into Tarkov in the future. Alex Reed, thank you so much for sharing yoru insights and experiences with us today.
**Alex Reed**: My pleasure.

## Escape From Tarkov‘s Latest Wipe: Technical Troubles Plague Launch The highly anticipated wipe for *Escape From Tarkov* launched on December 25th, 2024, bringing with it a wave of excitement from players eager to experience the refreshed gameplay adn new content. However, the launch was marred by numerous technical issues, disrupting the experience for many.
A Rocky Start for many Players

Recent Escape From Tarkov Patch Brings New Issues, Fixes on the Way
Escape From Tarkov’s latest patch aimed to tackle numerous player-reported issues, promising a smoother experience following the recent game wipe. Though, some problems, particularly with PvE raid saving, persisted, leaving players frustrated. The biggest issue revolves around the failure of PvE raids to save properly.This means that players can successfully extract from a raid but lose their hard-earned gear upon completion. As an extraction shooter, this is a major problem, substantially impacting gameplay. “This is a pretty big issue for an extraction shooter,” echoing the sentiment of many players navigating this frustrating bug. Fortunately, Battlestate Games, the developers behind Escape From Tarkov, are aware of the issue and actively working on a solution. In a statement released on the official Escape From Tarkov social media channels, they confirmed that a new patch addressing this issue, along with other remaining bugs, is forthcoming. Another concern that may require more time to resolve is a noticeable drop in performance following the recent patch. Many players have reported performance issues as the update. This likely stems from the game’s recent engine upgrade to Unity 2022. While this move promises long-term benefits, it appears that optimizing performance will be a gradual process. More details on the upcoming patches and their timelines are expected to be released soon.Performance Improvements on the Horizon for 2025
Even though specific details are scarce, exciting news has surfaced regarding the future of a popular platform.During a recent TV stream, the announcement was made that performance and optimization will be key focus areas for the coming year, 2025. This commitment suggests that the progress team is actively working to address any existing performance issues and enhance the overall user experience.

While server load due to the massive influx of players was expected, several issues pointed to deeper technical problems within the game itself. Players reported encountering micro-stutters, significant performance drops, and abrupt disconnections from raids instantly upon map loading.

[ [1](https://forum.escapefromtarkov.com/topic/166021-im-having-performance-issues-after-patchwipe-not-amd/) ]There’s a post on the Tarkov forums with a thread full of players reporting similar problems, regardless of weather they were using high-end rigs or more modest setups.
**Host**: Beyond general performance, were there any specific gameplay bugs that further impacted players’ experience?
**Alex Reed:** Absolutely.Many reported cases of losing gear despite successfully extracting from raids, which is a huge deal in Tarkov, where every piece of loot is precious.

There were even issues with quests failing to reward players correctly or failing altogether.
**host:** These are serious problems that can significantly dampen the enjoyment of a game already known for its difficulty. how has the development team, Battlestate Games, responded to these widespread issues?
**Alex Reed:** Battlestate has acknowledged the problems and has been actively working on hotfixes and patches to address them. They’ve been communicating with the community, which is appreciated, but it’s clear that these issues need further attention and a more long-term solution.
**Host:** It sounds like a challenging situation for both the developers and the players. Do you think that these technical problems will ultimately overshadow the positive aspects of the new wipe?
**Alex Reed:** It’s certainly a setback, but I’m hopeful. This community is incredibly passionate and resilient. We’ve weathered storms before. What ultimately matters is that Battlestate Games demonstrates a commitment to fixing these issues and ensuring a stable and enjoyable experience for everyone.
**Host**: Well said. We certainly hope for a smoother ride for all brave souls venturing into Tarkov in the future. Alex Reed, thank you so much for sharing yoru insights and experiences with us today.

Recent Escape From Tarkov Patch Brings New Issues, Fixes on the Way
Escape From Tarkov’s latest patch aimed to tackle numerous player-reported issues, promising a smoother experience following the recent game wipe. Though, some problems, particularly with PvE raid saving, persisted, leaving players frustrated. The biggest issue revolves around the failure of PvE raids to save properly.This means that players can successfully extract from a raid but lose their hard-earned gear upon completion. As an extraction shooter, this is a major problem, substantially impacting gameplay. “This is a pretty big issue for an extraction shooter,” echoing the sentiment of many players navigating this frustrating bug. Fortunately, Battlestate Games, the developers behind Escape From Tarkov, are aware of the issue and actively working on a solution. In a statement released on the official Escape From Tarkov social media channels, they confirmed that a new patch addressing this issue, along with other remaining bugs, is forthcoming. Another concern that may require more time to resolve is a noticeable drop in performance following the recent patch. Many players have reported performance issues as the update. This likely stems from the game’s recent engine upgrade to Unity 2022. While this move promises long-term benefits, it appears that optimizing performance will be a gradual process. More details on the upcoming patches and their timelines are expected to be released soon.Performance Improvements on the Horizon for 2025
Even though specific details are scarce, exciting news has surfaced regarding the future of a popular platform.During a recent TV stream, the announcement was made that performance and optimization will be key focus areas for the coming year, 2025. This commitment suggests that the progress team is actively working to address any existing performance issues and enhance the overall user experience.
“It was announced that one of the main focuses for 2025 is to improve performance and optimization, so it is indeed at least something the devs are aware of.”

**Host:** Welcome back to Archyde’s Gaming Globe. Today,we delve into the tumultuous launch of Escape From Tarkov’s latest wipe. The highly anticipated reset, which brought a wave of fresh content and gameplay to the unforgiving world of Tarkov, was unfortunately marred by technical issues that left many players stranded and frustrated.
Joining us to analyze the situation and offer his outlook is renowned Tarkov veteran and community contributor, Alex Reed. Welcome to the show.
**Alex Reed:** Thanks for having me. It’s certainly been a chaotic launch,to say the least.
**Host:** Let’s talk about the initial impact. Server congestion was expected given the massive player influx, but what other issues arose that hinted at deeper problems?
**Alex Reed:** From the outset, it was clear that the issues went beyond server strain. Players, myself included, encountered persistent micro-stuttering, sudden performance drops, and even abrupt disconnections right as thay loaded into raids. It felt like the game itself was struggling to handle even basic functions. [ [1](https://forum.escapefromtarkov.com/topic/166021-im-having-performance-issues-after-patchwipe-not-amd/) ]

## Escape From Tarkov‘s Latest Wipe: Technical Troubles Plague Launch The highly anticipated wipe for *Escape From Tarkov* launched on December 25th, 2024, bringing with it a wave of excitement from players eager to experience the refreshed gameplay adn new content. However, the launch was marred by numerous technical issues, disrupting the experience for many.
A Rocky Start for many Players

Recent Escape From Tarkov Patch Brings New Issues, Fixes on the Way
Escape From Tarkov’s latest patch aimed to tackle numerous player-reported issues, promising a smoother experience following the recent game wipe. Though, some problems, particularly with PvE raid saving, persisted, leaving players frustrated. The biggest issue revolves around the failure of PvE raids to save properly.This means that players can successfully extract from a raid but lose their hard-earned gear upon completion. As an extraction shooter, this is a major problem, substantially impacting gameplay. “This is a pretty big issue for an extraction shooter,” echoing the sentiment of many players navigating this frustrating bug. Fortunately, Battlestate Games, the developers behind Escape From Tarkov, are aware of the issue and actively working on a solution. In a statement released on the official Escape From Tarkov social media channels, they confirmed that a new patch addressing this issue, along with other remaining bugs, is forthcoming. Another concern that may require more time to resolve is a noticeable drop in performance following the recent patch. Many players have reported performance issues as the update. This likely stems from the game’s recent engine upgrade to Unity 2022. While this move promises long-term benefits, it appears that optimizing performance will be a gradual process. More details on the upcoming patches and their timelines are expected to be released soon.Performance Improvements on the Horizon for 2025
Even though specific details are scarce, exciting news has surfaced regarding the future of a popular platform.During a recent TV stream, the announcement was made that performance and optimization will be key focus areas for the coming year, 2025. This commitment suggests that the progress team is actively working to address any existing performance issues and enhance the overall user experience.
“It was announced that one of the main focuses for 2025 is to improve performance and optimization, so it is indeed at least something the devs are aware of.”
## Braving teh Battlestate: The Tarkov Wipe and Its Turbulent Launch
**[Introduction Music]**
**Host:** Welcome back to Archyde’s Gaming Globe. Today,we delve into the tumultuous launch of Escape From Tarkov’s latest wipe. The highly anticipated reset, which brought a wave of fresh content and gameplay to the unforgiving world of Tarkov, was unfortunately marred by technical issues that left many players stranded and frustrated.
Joining us to analyze the situation and offer his outlook is renowned Tarkov veteran and community contributor, Alex Reed. Welcome to the show.
**Alex Reed:** Thanks for having me. It’s certainly been a chaotic launch,to say the least.
**Host:** Let’s talk about the initial impact. Server congestion was expected given the massive player influx, but what other issues arose that hinted at deeper problems?
**Alex Reed:** From the outset, it was clear that the issues went beyond server strain. Players, myself included, encountered persistent micro-stuttering, sudden performance drops, and even abrupt disconnections right as thay loaded into raids. It felt like the game itself was struggling to handle even basic functions. [ [1](https://forum.escapefromtarkov.com/topic/166021-im-having-performance-issues-after-patchwipe-not-amd/) ]
**host:** It sounds like a nightmare for any Tarkov player. Were these problems exclusive to certain hardware setups, or did they affect a wide range of players?
**Alex Reed**: Based on community feedback, it seemed to be a widespread issue. [ [1](https://forum.escapefromtarkov.com/topic/166021-im-having-performance-issues-after-patchwipe-not-amd/) ]There’s a post on the Tarkov forums with a thread full of players reporting similar problems, regardless of weather they were using high-end rigs or more modest setups.
**Host**: Beyond general performance, were there any specific gameplay bugs that further impacted players’ experience?
**Alex Reed:** Absolutely.Many reported cases of losing gear despite successfully extracting from raids, which is a huge deal in Tarkov, where every piece of loot is precious. Others encountered bugs that let them retain their gear even after dying, which throws the game’s realistic balance fully out of whack. There were even issues with quests failing to reward players correctly or failing altogether.

As an extraction shooter, this is a major problem, substantially impacting gameplay. “This is a pretty big issue for an extraction shooter,” echoing the sentiment of many players navigating this frustrating bug. Fortunately, Battlestate Games, the developers behind Escape From Tarkov, are aware of the issue and actively working on a solution. In a statement released on the official Escape From Tarkov social media channels, they confirmed that a new patch addressing this issue, along with other remaining bugs, is forthcoming. Another concern that may require more time to resolve is a noticeable drop in performance following the recent patch. Many players have reported performance issues as the update. This likely stems from the game’s recent engine upgrade to Unity 2022. While this move promises long-term benefits, it appears that optimizing performance will be a gradual process. More details on the upcoming patches and their timelines are expected to be released soon.Performance Improvements on the Horizon for 2025
Even though specific details are scarce, exciting news has surfaced regarding the future of a popular platform.During a recent TV stream, the announcement was made that performance and optimization will be key focus areas for the coming year, 2025. This commitment suggests that the progress team is actively working to address any existing performance issues and enhance the overall user experience.
“It was announced that one of the main focuses for 2025 is to improve performance and optimization, so it is indeed at least something the devs are aware of.”
## Braving teh Battlestate: The Tarkov Wipe and Its Turbulent Launch
**[Introduction Music]**
**Host:** Welcome back to Archyde’s Gaming Globe. Today,we delve into the tumultuous launch of Escape From Tarkov’s latest wipe. The highly anticipated reset, which brought a wave of fresh content and gameplay to the unforgiving world of Tarkov, was unfortunately marred by technical issues that left many players stranded and frustrated.
Joining us to analyze the situation and offer his outlook is renowned Tarkov veteran and community contributor, Alex Reed. Welcome to the show.
**Alex Reed:** Thanks for having me. It’s certainly been a chaotic launch,to say the least.
**Host:** Let’s talk about the initial impact. Server congestion was expected given the massive player influx, but what other issues arose that hinted at deeper problems?
**Alex Reed:** From the outset, it was clear that the issues went beyond server strain. Players, myself included, encountered persistent micro-stuttering, sudden performance drops, and even abrupt disconnections right as thay loaded into raids. It felt like the game itself was struggling to handle even basic functions. [ [1](https://forum.escapefromtarkov.com/topic/166021-im-having-performance-issues-after-patchwipe-not-amd/) ]
**host:** It sounds like a nightmare for any Tarkov player. Were these problems exclusive to certain hardware setups, or did they affect a wide range of players?
**Alex Reed**: Based on community feedback, it seemed to be a widespread issue. [ [1](https://forum.escapefromtarkov.com/topic/166021-im-having-performance-issues-after-patchwipe-not-amd/) ]There’s a post on the Tarkov forums with a thread full of players reporting similar problems, regardless of weather they were using high-end rigs or more modest setups.
**Host**: Beyond general performance, were there any specific gameplay bugs that further impacted players’ experience?
**Alex Reed:** Absolutely.Many reported cases of losing gear despite successfully extracting from raids, which is a huge deal in Tarkov, where every piece of loot is precious. Others encountered bugs that let them retain their gear even after dying, which throws the game’s realistic balance fully out of whack. There were even issues with quests failing to reward players correctly or failing altogether.
**host:** These are serious problems that can significantly dampen the enjoyment of a game already known for its difficulty. how has the development team, Battlestate Games, responded to these widespread issues?
**Alex Reed:** Battlestate has acknowledged the problems and has been actively working on hotfixes and patches to address them. They’ve been communicating with the community, which is appreciated, but it’s clear that these issues need further attention and a more long-term solution.
**Host:** It sounds like a challenging situation for both the developers and the players. Do you think that these technical problems will ultimately overshadow the positive aspects of the new wipe?
**Alex Reed:** It’s certainly a setback, but I’m hopeful. This community is incredibly passionate and resilient. We’ve weathered storms before. What ultimately matters is that Battlestate Games demonstrates a commitment to fixing these issues and ensuring a stable and enjoyable experience for everyone.
**Host**: Well said. We certainly hope for a smoother ride for all brave souls venturing into Tarkov in the future. Alex Reed, thank you so much for sharing yoru insights and experiences with us today.
**Alex Reed**: My pleasure.

The highly anticipated reset, which brought a wave of fresh content and gameplay to the unforgiving world of Tarkov, was unfortunately marred by technical issues that left many players stranded and frustrated.
Joining us to analyze the situation and offer his outlook is renowned Tarkov veteran and community contributor, Alex Reed. Welcome to the show.
**Alex Reed:** Thanks for having me. It’s certainly been a chaotic launch,to say the least.
**Host:** Let’s talk about the initial impact. Server congestion was expected given the massive player influx, but what other issues arose that hinted at deeper problems?
**Alex Reed:** From the outset, it was clear that the issues went beyond server strain. Players, myself included, encountered persistent micro-stuttering, sudden performance drops, and even abrupt disconnections right as thay loaded into raids. It felt like the game itself was struggling to handle even basic functions. [ [1](https://forum.escapefromtarkov.com/topic/166021-im-having-performance-issues-after-patchwipe-not-amd/) ]
**host:** It sounds like a nightmare for any Tarkov player. Were these problems exclusive to certain hardware setups, or did they affect a wide range of players?
**Alex Reed**: Based on community feedback, it seemed to be a widespread issue. [ [1](https://forum.escapefromtarkov.com/topic/166021-im-having-performance-issues-after-patchwipe-not-amd/) ]There’s a post on the Tarkov forums with a thread full of players reporting similar problems, regardless of weather they were using high-end rigs or more modest setups.
**Host**: Beyond general performance, were there any specific gameplay bugs that further impacted players’ experience?
**Alex Reed:** Absolutely.Many reported cases of losing gear despite successfully extracting from raids, which is a huge deal in Tarkov, where every piece of loot is precious. Others encountered bugs that let them retain their gear even after dying, which throws the game’s realistic balance fully out of whack. There were even issues with quests failing to reward players correctly or failing altogether.
**host:** These are serious problems that can significantly dampen the enjoyment of a game already known for its difficulty. how has the development team, Battlestate Games, responded to these widespread issues?
**Alex Reed:** Battlestate has acknowledged the problems and has been actively working on hotfixes and patches to address them. They’ve been communicating with the community, which is appreciated, but it’s clear that these issues need further attention and a more long-term solution.
**Host:** It sounds like a challenging situation for both the developers and the players. Do you think that these technical problems will ultimately overshadow the positive aspects of the new wipe?
**Alex Reed:** It’s certainly a setback, but I’m hopeful. This community is incredibly passionate and resilient. We’ve weathered storms before. What ultimately matters is that Battlestate Games demonstrates a commitment to fixing these issues and ensuring a stable and enjoyable experience for everyone.
**Host**: Well said. We certainly hope for a smoother ride for all brave souls venturing into Tarkov in the future. Alex Reed, thank you so much for sharing yoru insights and experiences with us today.
**Alex Reed**: My pleasure.

## Escape From Tarkov‘s Latest Wipe: Technical Troubles Plague Launch The highly anticipated wipe for *Escape From Tarkov* launched on December 25th, 2024, bringing with it a wave of excitement from players eager to experience the refreshed gameplay adn new content. However, the launch was marred by numerous technical issues, disrupting the experience for many.
A Rocky Start for many Players

Recent Escape From Tarkov Patch Brings New Issues, Fixes on the Way
Escape From Tarkov’s latest patch aimed to tackle numerous player-reported issues, promising a smoother experience following the recent game wipe. Though, some problems, particularly with PvE raid saving, persisted, leaving players frustrated. The biggest issue revolves around the failure of PvE raids to save properly.This means that players can successfully extract from a raid but lose their hard-earned gear upon completion. As an extraction shooter, this is a major problem, substantially impacting gameplay. “This is a pretty big issue for an extraction shooter,” echoing the sentiment of many players navigating this frustrating bug. Fortunately, Battlestate Games, the developers behind Escape From Tarkov, are aware of the issue and actively working on a solution. In a statement released on the official Escape From Tarkov social media channels, they confirmed that a new patch addressing this issue, along with other remaining bugs, is forthcoming. Another concern that may require more time to resolve is a noticeable drop in performance following the recent patch. Many players have reported performance issues as the update. This likely stems from the game’s recent engine upgrade to Unity 2022. While this move promises long-term benefits, it appears that optimizing performance will be a gradual process. More details on the upcoming patches and their timelines are expected to be released soon.Performance Improvements on the Horizon for 2025
Even though specific details are scarce, exciting news has surfaced regarding the future of a popular platform.During a recent TV stream, the announcement was made that performance and optimization will be key focus areas for the coming year, 2025. This commitment suggests that the progress team is actively working to address any existing performance issues and enhance the overall user experience.
“It was announced that one of the main focuses for 2025 is to improve performance and optimization, so it is indeed at least something the devs are aware of.”

## Escape From Tarkov‘s Latest Wipe: Technical Troubles Plague Launch The highly anticipated wipe for *Escape From Tarkov* launched on December 25th, 2024, bringing with it a wave of excitement from players eager to experience the refreshed gameplay adn new content. However, the launch was marred by numerous technical issues, disrupting the experience for many.

Recent Escape From Tarkov Patch Brings New Issues, Fixes on the Way
Escape From Tarkov’s latest patch aimed to tackle numerous player-reported issues, promising a smoother experience following the recent game wipe. Though, some problems, particularly with PvE raid saving, persisted, leaving players frustrated. The biggest issue revolves around the failure of PvE raids to save properly.This means that players can successfully extract from a raid but lose their hard-earned gear upon completion. As an extraction shooter, this is a major problem, substantially impacting gameplay. “This is a pretty big issue for an extraction shooter,” echoing the sentiment of many players navigating this frustrating bug. Fortunately, Battlestate Games, the developers behind Escape From Tarkov, are aware of the issue and actively working on a solution. In a statement released on the official Escape From Tarkov social media channels, they confirmed that a new patch addressing this issue, along with other remaining bugs, is forthcoming. Another concern that may require more time to resolve is a noticeable drop in performance following the recent patch. Many players have reported performance issues as the update. This likely stems from the game’s recent engine upgrade to Unity 2022. While this move promises long-term benefits, it appears that optimizing performance will be a gradual process. More details on the upcoming patches and their timelines are expected to be released soon.Performance Improvements on the Horizon for 2025
Even though specific details are scarce, exciting news has surfaced regarding the future of a popular platform.During a recent TV stream, the announcement was made that performance and optimization will be key focus areas for the coming year, 2025. This commitment suggests that the progress team is actively working to address any existing performance issues and enhance the overall user experience.
“It was announced that one of the main focuses for 2025 is to improve performance and optimization, so it is indeed at least something the devs are aware of.”
## Braving teh Battlestate: The Tarkov Wipe and Its Turbulent Launch
**[Introduction Music]**
**Host:** Welcome back to Archyde’s Gaming Globe. Today,we delve into the tumultuous launch of Escape From Tarkov’s latest wipe. The highly anticipated reset, which brought a wave of fresh content and gameplay to the unforgiving world of Tarkov, was unfortunately marred by technical issues that left many players stranded and frustrated.
Joining us to analyze the situation and offer his outlook is renowned Tarkov veteran and community contributor, Alex Reed. Welcome to the show.
**Alex Reed:** Thanks for having me. It’s certainly been a chaotic launch,to say the least.
**Host:** Let’s talk about the initial impact. Server congestion was expected given the massive player influx, but what other issues arose that hinted at deeper problems?
**Alex Reed:** From the outset, it was clear that the issues went beyond server strain. Players, myself included, encountered persistent micro-stuttering, sudden performance drops, and even abrupt disconnections right as thay loaded into raids. It felt like the game itself was struggling to handle even basic functions. [ [1](https://forum.escapefromtarkov.com/topic/166021-im-having-performance-issues-after-patchwipe-not-amd/) ]
**host:** It sounds like a nightmare for any Tarkov player. Were these problems exclusive to certain hardware setups, or did they affect a wide range of players?
**Alex Reed**: Based on community feedback, it seemed to be a widespread issue. [ [1](https://forum.escapefromtarkov.com/topic/166021-im-having-performance-issues-after-patchwipe-not-amd/) ]There’s a post on the Tarkov forums with a thread full of players reporting similar problems, regardless of weather they were using high-end rigs or more modest setups.
**Host**: Beyond general performance, were there any specific gameplay bugs that further impacted players’ experience?
**Alex Reed:** Absolutely.Many reported cases of losing gear despite successfully extracting from raids, which is a huge deal in Tarkov, where every piece of loot is precious. Others encountered bugs that let them retain their gear even after dying, which throws the game’s realistic balance fully out of whack. There were even issues with quests failing to reward players correctly or failing altogether.

The biggest issue revolves around the failure of PvE raids to save properly.This means that players can successfully extract from a raid but lose their hard-earned gear upon completion. As an extraction shooter, this is a major problem, substantially impacting gameplay. “This is a pretty big issue for an extraction shooter,” echoing the sentiment of many players navigating this frustrating bug. Fortunately, Battlestate Games, the developers behind Escape From Tarkov, are aware of the issue and actively working on a solution. In a statement released on the official Escape From Tarkov social media channels, they confirmed that a new patch addressing this issue, along with other remaining bugs, is forthcoming. Another concern that may require more time to resolve is a noticeable drop in performance following the recent patch. Many players have reported performance issues as the update. This likely stems from the game’s recent engine upgrade to Unity 2022. While this move promises long-term benefits, it appears that optimizing performance will be a gradual process. More details on the upcoming patches and their timelines are expected to be released soon.Performance Improvements on the Horizon for 2025
Even though specific details are scarce, exciting news has surfaced regarding the future of a popular platform.During a recent TV stream, the announcement was made that performance and optimization will be key focus areas for the coming year, 2025. This commitment suggests that the progress team is actively working to address any existing performance issues and enhance the overall user experience.
“It was announced that one of the main focuses for 2025 is to improve performance and optimization, so it is indeed at least something the devs are aware of.”
## Braving teh Battlestate: The Tarkov Wipe and Its Turbulent Launch
**[Introduction Music]**
**Host:** Welcome back to Archyde’s Gaming Globe. Today,we delve into the tumultuous launch of Escape From Tarkov’s latest wipe. The highly anticipated reset, which brought a wave of fresh content and gameplay to the unforgiving world of Tarkov, was unfortunately marred by technical issues that left many players stranded and frustrated.
Joining us to analyze the situation and offer his outlook is renowned Tarkov veteran and community contributor, Alex Reed. Welcome to the show.
**Alex Reed:** Thanks for having me. It’s certainly been a chaotic launch,to say the least.
**Host:** Let’s talk about the initial impact. Server congestion was expected given the massive player influx, but what other issues arose that hinted at deeper problems?
**Alex Reed:** From the outset, it was clear that the issues went beyond server strain. Players, myself included, encountered persistent micro-stuttering, sudden performance drops, and even abrupt disconnections right as thay loaded into raids. It felt like the game itself was struggling to handle even basic functions. [ [1](https://forum.escapefromtarkov.com/topic/166021-im-having-performance-issues-after-patchwipe-not-amd/) ]
**host:** It sounds like a nightmare for any Tarkov player. Were these problems exclusive to certain hardware setups, or did they affect a wide range of players?
**Alex Reed**: Based on community feedback, it seemed to be a widespread issue. [ [1](https://forum.escapefromtarkov.com/topic/166021-im-having-performance-issues-after-patchwipe-not-amd/) ]There’s a post on the Tarkov forums with a thread full of players reporting similar problems, regardless of weather they were using high-end rigs or more modest setups.
**Host**: Beyond general performance, were there any specific gameplay bugs that further impacted players’ experience?
**Alex Reed:** Absolutely.Many reported cases of losing gear despite successfully extracting from raids, which is a huge deal in Tarkov, where every piece of loot is precious. Others encountered bugs that let them retain their gear even after dying, which throws the game’s realistic balance fully out of whack. There were even issues with quests failing to reward players correctly or failing altogether.
**host:** These are serious problems that can significantly dampen the enjoyment of a game already known for its difficulty. how has the development team, Battlestate Games, responded to these widespread issues?
**Alex Reed:** Battlestate has acknowledged the problems and has been actively working on hotfixes and patches to address them. They’ve been communicating with the community, which is appreciated, but it’s clear that these issues need further attention and a more long-term solution.
**Host:** It sounds like a challenging situation for both the developers and the players. Do you think that these technical problems will ultimately overshadow the positive aspects of the new wipe?
**Alex Reed:** It’s certainly a setback, but I’m hopeful. This community is incredibly passionate and resilient. We’ve weathered storms before. What ultimately matters is that Battlestate Games demonstrates a commitment to fixing these issues and ensuring a stable and enjoyable experience for everyone.
**Host**: Well said. We certainly hope for a smoother ride for all brave souls venturing into Tarkov in the future. Alex Reed, thank you so much for sharing yoru insights and experiences with us today.
**Alex Reed**: My pleasure.

**Alex Reed:** Thanks for having me. It’s certainly been a chaotic launch,to say the least.
**Host:** Let’s talk about the initial impact. Server congestion was expected given the massive player influx, but what other issues arose that hinted at deeper problems?
**Alex Reed:** From the outset, it was clear that the issues went beyond server strain. Players, myself included, encountered persistent micro-stuttering, sudden performance drops, and even abrupt disconnections right as thay loaded into raids. It felt like the game itself was struggling to handle even basic functions. [ [1](https://forum.escapefromtarkov.com/topic/166021-im-having-performance-issues-after-patchwipe-not-amd/) ]
**host:** It sounds like a nightmare for any Tarkov player. Were these problems exclusive to certain hardware setups, or did they affect a wide range of players?
**Alex Reed**: Based on community feedback, it seemed to be a widespread issue. [ [1](https://forum.escapefromtarkov.com/topic/166021-im-having-performance-issues-after-patchwipe-not-amd/) ]There’s a post on the Tarkov forums with a thread full of players reporting similar problems, regardless of weather they were using high-end rigs or more modest setups.
**Host**: Beyond general performance, were there any specific gameplay bugs that further impacted players’ experience?
**Alex Reed:** Absolutely.Many reported cases of losing gear despite successfully extracting from raids, which is a huge deal in Tarkov, where every piece of loot is precious. Others encountered bugs that let them retain their gear even after dying, which throws the game’s realistic balance fully out of whack. There were even issues with quests failing to reward players correctly or failing altogether.
**host:** These are serious problems that can significantly dampen the enjoyment of a game already known for its difficulty. how has the development team, Battlestate Games, responded to these widespread issues?
**Alex Reed:** Battlestate has acknowledged the problems and has been actively working on hotfixes and patches to address them. They’ve been communicating with the community, which is appreciated, but it’s clear that these issues need further attention and a more long-term solution.
**Host:** It sounds like a challenging situation for both the developers and the players. Do you think that these technical problems will ultimately overshadow the positive aspects of the new wipe?
**Alex Reed:** It’s certainly a setback, but I’m hopeful. This community is incredibly passionate and resilient. We’ve weathered storms before. What ultimately matters is that Battlestate Games demonstrates a commitment to fixing these issues and ensuring a stable and enjoyable experience for everyone.
**Host**: Well said. We certainly hope for a smoother ride for all brave souls venturing into Tarkov in the future. Alex Reed, thank you so much for sharing yoru insights and experiences with us today.
**Alex Reed**: My pleasure.

## Escape From Tarkov‘s Latest Wipe: Technical Troubles Plague Launch The highly anticipated wipe for *Escape From Tarkov* launched on December 25th, 2024, bringing with it a wave of excitement from players eager to experience the refreshed gameplay adn new content.

Recent Escape From Tarkov Patch Brings New Issues, Fixes on the Way
Escape From Tarkov’s latest patch aimed to tackle numerous player-reported issues, promising a smoother experience following the recent game wipe. Though, some problems, particularly with PvE raid saving, persisted, leaving players frustrated. The biggest issue revolves around the failure of PvE raids to save properly.This means that players can successfully extract from a raid but lose their hard-earned gear upon completion. As an extraction shooter, this is a major problem, substantially impacting gameplay. “This is a pretty big issue for an extraction shooter,” echoing the sentiment of many players navigating this frustrating bug. Fortunately, Battlestate Games, the developers behind Escape From Tarkov, are aware of the issue and actively working on a solution. In a statement released on the official Escape From Tarkov social media channels, they confirmed that a new patch addressing this issue, along with other remaining bugs, is forthcoming. Another concern that may require more time to resolve is a noticeable drop in performance following the recent patch. Many players have reported performance issues as the update. This likely stems from the game’s recent engine upgrade to Unity 2022. While this move promises long-term benefits, it appears that optimizing performance will be a gradual process. More details on the upcoming patches and their timelines are expected to be released soon.Performance Improvements on the Horizon for 2025
Even though specific details are scarce, exciting news has surfaced regarding the future of a popular platform.During a recent TV stream, the announcement was made that performance and optimization will be key focus areas for the coming year, 2025. This commitment suggests that the progress team is actively working to address any existing performance issues and enhance the overall user experience.
“It was announced that one of the main focuses for 2025 is to improve performance and optimization, so it is indeed at least something the devs are aware of.”

Others encountered bugs that let them retain their gear even after dying, which throws the game’s realistic balance fully out of whack. There were even issues with quests failing to reward players correctly or failing altogether.
**host:** These are serious problems that can significantly dampen the enjoyment of a game already known for its difficulty. how has the development team, Battlestate Games, responded to these widespread issues?
**Alex Reed:** Battlestate has acknowledged the problems and has been actively working on hotfixes and patches to address them. They’ve been communicating with the community, which is appreciated, but it’s clear that these issues need further attention and a more long-term solution.
**Host:** It sounds like a challenging situation for both the developers and the players. Do you think that these technical problems will ultimately overshadow the positive aspects of the new wipe?
**Alex Reed:** It’s certainly a setback, but I’m hopeful. This community is incredibly passionate and resilient. We’ve weathered storms before. What ultimately matters is that Battlestate Games demonstrates a commitment to fixing these issues and ensuring a stable and enjoyable experience for everyone.
**Host**: Well said. We certainly hope for a smoother ride for all brave souls venturing into Tarkov in the future. Alex Reed, thank you so much for sharing yoru insights and experiences with us today.
**Alex Reed**: My pleasure.

## Escape From Tarkov‘s Latest Wipe: Technical Troubles Plague Launch The highly anticipated wipe for *Escape From Tarkov* launched on December 25th, 2024, bringing with it a wave of excitement from players eager to experience the refreshed gameplay adn new content. However, the launch was marred by numerous technical issues, disrupting the experience for many.

Recent Escape From Tarkov Patch Brings New Issues, Fixes on the Way
Escape From Tarkov’s latest patch aimed to tackle numerous player-reported issues, promising a smoother experience following the recent game wipe. Though, some problems, particularly with PvE raid saving, persisted, leaving players frustrated. The biggest issue revolves around the failure of PvE raids to save properly.This means that players can successfully extract from a raid but lose their hard-earned gear upon completion. As an extraction shooter, this is a major problem, substantially impacting gameplay. “This is a pretty big issue for an extraction shooter,” echoing the sentiment of many players navigating this frustrating bug. Fortunately, Battlestate Games, the developers behind Escape From Tarkov, are aware of the issue and actively working on a solution. In a statement released on the official Escape From Tarkov social media channels, they confirmed that a new patch addressing this issue, along with other remaining bugs, is forthcoming. Another concern that may require more time to resolve is a noticeable drop in performance following the recent patch. Many players have reported performance issues as the update. This likely stems from the game’s recent engine upgrade to Unity 2022. While this move promises long-term benefits, it appears that optimizing performance will be a gradual process. More details on the upcoming patches and their timelines are expected to be released soon.Performance Improvements on the Horizon for 2025
Even though specific details are scarce, exciting news has surfaced regarding the future of a popular platform.During a recent TV stream, the announcement was made that performance and optimization will be key focus areas for the coming year, 2025. This commitment suggests that the progress team is actively working to address any existing performance issues and enhance the overall user experience.
“It was announced that one of the main focuses for 2025 is to improve performance and optimization, so it is indeed at least something the devs are aware of.”

**Host:** Welcome back to Archyde’s Gaming Globe. Today,we delve into the tumultuous launch of Escape From Tarkov’s latest wipe. The highly anticipated reset, which brought a wave of fresh content and gameplay to the unforgiving world of Tarkov, was unfortunately marred by technical issues that left many players stranded and frustrated.
Joining us to analyze the situation and offer his outlook is renowned Tarkov veteran and community contributor, Alex Reed. Welcome to the show.
**Alex Reed:** Thanks for having me. It’s certainly been a chaotic launch,to say the least.
**Host:** Let’s talk about the initial impact. Server congestion was expected given the massive player influx, but what other issues arose that hinted at deeper problems?
**Alex Reed:** From the outset, it was clear that the issues went beyond server strain. Players, myself included, encountered persistent micro-stuttering, sudden performance drops, and even abrupt disconnections right as thay loaded into raids. It felt like the game itself was struggling to handle even basic functions. [ [1](https://forum.escapefromtarkov.com/topic/166021-im-having-performance-issues-after-patchwipe-not-amd/) ]
**host:** It sounds like a nightmare for any Tarkov player. Were these problems exclusive to certain hardware setups, or did they affect a wide range of players?
**Alex Reed**: Based on community feedback, it seemed to be a widespread issue. [ [1](https://forum.escapefromtarkov.com/topic/166021-im-having-performance-issues-after-patchwipe-not-amd/) ]There’s a post on the Tarkov forums with a thread full of players reporting similar problems, regardless of weather they were using high-end rigs or more modest setups.

Recent Escape From Tarkov Patch Brings New Issues, Fixes on the Way
Escape From Tarkov’s latest patch aimed to tackle numerous player-reported issues, promising a smoother experience following the recent game wipe. Though, some problems, particularly with PvE raid saving, persisted, leaving players frustrated. The biggest issue revolves around the failure of PvE raids to save properly.This means that players can successfully extract from a raid but lose their hard-earned gear upon completion. As an extraction shooter, this is a major problem, substantially impacting gameplay. “This is a pretty big issue for an extraction shooter,” echoing the sentiment of many players navigating this frustrating bug. Fortunately, Battlestate Games, the developers behind Escape From Tarkov, are aware of the issue and actively working on a solution. In a statement released on the official Escape From Tarkov social media channels, they confirmed that a new patch addressing this issue, along with other remaining bugs, is forthcoming. Another concern that may require more time to resolve is a noticeable drop in performance following the recent patch. Many players have reported performance issues as the update. This likely stems from the game’s recent engine upgrade to Unity 2022. While this move promises long-term benefits, it appears that optimizing performance will be a gradual process. More details on the upcoming patches and their timelines are expected to be released soon.Performance Improvements on the Horizon for 2025
Even though specific details are scarce, exciting news has surfaced regarding the future of a popular platform.During a recent TV stream, the announcement was made that performance and optimization will be key focus areas for the coming year, 2025. This commitment suggests that the progress team is actively working to address any existing performance issues and enhance the overall user experience.
“It was announced that one of the main focuses for 2025 is to improve performance and optimization, so it is indeed at least something the devs are aware of.”
## Braving teh Battlestate: The Tarkov Wipe and Its Turbulent Launch
**[Introduction Music]**
**Host:** Welcome back to Archyde’s Gaming Globe. Today,we delve into the tumultuous launch of Escape From Tarkov’s latest wipe. The highly anticipated reset, which brought a wave of fresh content and gameplay to the unforgiving world of Tarkov, was unfortunately marred by technical issues that left many players stranded and frustrated.
Joining us to analyze the situation and offer his outlook is renowned Tarkov veteran and community contributor, Alex Reed. Welcome to the show.
**Alex Reed:** Thanks for having me. It’s certainly been a chaotic launch,to say the least.
**Host:** Let’s talk about the initial impact. Server congestion was expected given the massive player influx, but what other issues arose that hinted at deeper problems?
**Alex Reed:** From the outset, it was clear that the issues went beyond server strain. Players, myself included, encountered persistent micro-stuttering, sudden performance drops, and even abrupt disconnections right as thay loaded into raids. It felt like the game itself was struggling to handle even basic functions. [ [1](https://forum.escapefromtarkov.com/topic/166021-im-having-performance-issues-after-patchwipe-not-amd/) ]
**host:** It sounds like a nightmare for any Tarkov player. Were these problems exclusive to certain hardware setups, or did they affect a wide range of players?
**Alex Reed**: Based on community feedback, it seemed to be a widespread issue. [ [1](https://forum.escapefromtarkov.com/topic/166021-im-having-performance-issues-after-patchwipe-not-amd/) ]There’s a post on the Tarkov forums with a thread full of players reporting similar problems, regardless of weather they were using high-end rigs or more modest setups.
**Host**: Beyond general performance, were there any specific gameplay bugs that further impacted players’ experience?
**Alex Reed:** Absolutely.Many reported cases of losing gear despite successfully extracting from raids, which is a huge deal in Tarkov, where every piece of loot is precious. Others encountered bugs that let them retain their gear even after dying, which throws the game’s realistic balance fully out of whack. There were even issues with quests failing to reward players correctly or failing altogether.
**host:** These are serious problems that can significantly dampen the enjoyment of a game already known for its difficulty. how has the development team, Battlestate Games, responded to these widespread issues?
**Alex Reed:** Battlestate has acknowledged the problems and has been actively working on hotfixes and patches to address them. They’ve been communicating with the community, which is appreciated, but it’s clear that these issues need further attention and a more long-term solution.
**Host:** It sounds like a challenging situation for both the developers and the players. Do you think that these technical problems will ultimately overshadow the positive aspects of the new wipe?
**Alex Reed:** It’s certainly a setback, but I’m hopeful. This community is incredibly passionate and resilient. We’ve weathered storms before. What ultimately matters is that Battlestate Games demonstrates a commitment to fixing these issues and ensuring a stable and enjoyable experience for everyone.
**Host**: Well said. We certainly hope for a smoother ride for all brave souls venturing into Tarkov in the future. Alex Reed, thank you so much for sharing yoru insights and experiences with us today.
**Alex Reed**: My pleasure.

## Braving teh Battlestate: The Tarkov Wipe and Its Turbulent Launch
**[Introduction Music]**
**Host:** Welcome back to Archyde’s Gaming Globe. Today,we delve into the tumultuous launch of Escape From Tarkov’s latest wipe. The highly anticipated reset, which brought a wave of fresh content and gameplay to the unforgiving world of Tarkov, was unfortunately marred by technical issues that left many players stranded and frustrated.
Joining us to analyze the situation and offer his outlook is renowned Tarkov veteran and community contributor, Alex Reed. Welcome to the show.
**Alex Reed:** Thanks for having me. It’s certainly been a chaotic launch,to say the least.
**Host:** Let’s talk about the initial impact. Server congestion was expected given the massive player influx, but what other issues arose that hinted at deeper problems?
**Alex Reed:** From the outset, it was clear that the issues went beyond server strain. Players, myself included, encountered persistent micro-stuttering, sudden performance drops, and even abrupt disconnections right as thay loaded into raids. It felt like the game itself was struggling to handle even basic functions. [ [1](https://forum.escapefromtarkov.com/topic/166021-im-having-performance-issues-after-patchwipe-not-amd/) ]
**host:** It sounds like a nightmare for any Tarkov player. Were these problems exclusive to certain hardware setups, or did they affect a wide range of players?
**Alex Reed**: Based on community feedback, it seemed to be a widespread issue. [ [1](https://forum.escapefromtarkov.com/topic/166021-im-having-performance-issues-after-patchwipe-not-amd/) ]There’s a post on the Tarkov forums with a thread full of players reporting similar problems, regardless of weather they were using high-end rigs or more modest setups.
**Host**: Beyond general performance, were there any specific gameplay bugs that further impacted players’ experience?
**Alex Reed:** Absolutely.Many reported cases of losing gear despite successfully extracting from raids, which is a huge deal in Tarkov, where every piece of loot is precious. Others encountered bugs that let them retain their gear even after dying, which throws the game’s realistic balance fully out of whack. There were even issues with quests failing to reward players correctly or failing altogether.
**host:** These are serious problems that can significantly dampen the enjoyment of a game already known for its difficulty. how has the development team, Battlestate Games, responded to these widespread issues?
**Alex Reed:** Battlestate has acknowledged the problems and has been actively working on hotfixes and patches to address them. They’ve been communicating with the community, which is appreciated, but it’s clear that these issues need further attention and a more long-term solution.
**Host:** It sounds like a challenging situation for both the developers and the players. Do you think that these technical problems will ultimately overshadow the positive aspects of the new wipe?
**Alex Reed:** It’s certainly a setback, but I’m hopeful. This community is incredibly passionate and resilient. We’ve weathered storms before. What ultimately matters is that Battlestate Games demonstrates a commitment to fixing these issues and ensuring a stable and enjoyable experience for everyone.
**Host**: Well said. We certainly hope for a smoother ride for all brave souls venturing into Tarkov in the future. Alex Reed, thank you so much for sharing yoru insights and experiences with us today.
**Alex Reed**: My pleasure.

Recent Escape From Tarkov Patch Brings New Issues, Fixes on the Way
Escape From Tarkov’s latest patch aimed to tackle numerous player-reported issues, promising a smoother experience following the recent game wipe. Though, some problems, particularly with PvE raid saving, persisted, leaving players frustrated. The biggest issue revolves around the failure of PvE raids to save properly.This means that players can successfully extract from a raid but lose their hard-earned gear upon completion. As an extraction shooter, this is a major problem, substantially impacting gameplay. “This is a pretty big issue for an extraction shooter,” echoing the sentiment of many players navigating this frustrating bug. Fortunately, Battlestate Games, the developers behind Escape From Tarkov, are aware of the issue and actively working on a solution. In a statement released on the official Escape From Tarkov social media channels, they confirmed that a new patch addressing this issue, along with other remaining bugs, is forthcoming. Another concern that may require more time to resolve is a noticeable drop in performance following the recent patch. Many players have reported performance issues as the update. This likely stems from the game’s recent engine upgrade to Unity 2022. While this move promises long-term benefits, it appears that optimizing performance will be a gradual process.

It felt like the game itself was struggling to handle even basic functions. [ [1](https://forum.escapefromtarkov.com/topic/166021-im-having-performance-issues-after-patchwipe-not-amd/) ]
**host:** It sounds like a nightmare for any Tarkov player. Were these problems exclusive to certain hardware setups, or did they affect a wide range of players?
**Alex Reed**: Based on community feedback, it seemed to be a widespread issue. [ [1](https://forum.escapefromtarkov.com/topic/166021-im-having-performance-issues-after-patchwipe-not-amd/) ]There’s a post on the Tarkov forums with a thread full of players reporting similar problems, regardless of weather they were using high-end rigs or more modest setups.
**Host**: Beyond general performance, were there any specific gameplay bugs that further impacted players’ experience?
**Alex Reed:** Absolutely.Many reported cases of losing gear despite successfully extracting from raids, which is a huge deal in Tarkov, where every piece of loot is precious. Others encountered bugs that let them retain their gear even after dying, which throws the game’s realistic balance fully out of whack. There were even issues with quests failing to reward players correctly or failing altogether.
**host:** These are serious problems that can significantly dampen the enjoyment of a game already known for its difficulty. how has the development team, Battlestate Games, responded to these widespread issues?
**Alex Reed:** Battlestate has acknowledged the problems and has been actively working on hotfixes and patches to address them. They’ve been communicating with the community, which is appreciated, but it’s clear that these issues need further attention and a more long-term solution.
**Host:** It sounds like a challenging situation for both the developers and the players. Do you think that these technical problems will ultimately overshadow the positive aspects of the new wipe?
**Alex Reed:** It’s certainly a setback, but I’m hopeful. This community is incredibly passionate and resilient. We’ve weathered storms before. What ultimately matters is that Battlestate Games demonstrates a commitment to fixing these issues and ensuring a stable and enjoyable experience for everyone.
**Host**: Well said. We certainly hope for a smoother ride for all brave souls venturing into Tarkov in the future. Alex Reed, thank you so much for sharing yoru insights and experiences with us today.
**Alex Reed**: My pleasure.

Recent Escape From Tarkov Patch Brings New Issues, Fixes on the Way
Escape From Tarkov’s latest patch aimed to tackle numerous player-reported issues, promising a smoother experience following the recent game wipe. Though, some problems, particularly with PvE raid saving, persisted, leaving players frustrated. The biggest issue revolves around the failure of PvE raids to save properly.This means that players can successfully extract from a raid but lose their hard-earned gear upon completion. As an extraction shooter, this is a major problem, substantially impacting gameplay. “This is a pretty big issue for an extraction shooter,” echoing the sentiment of many players navigating this frustrating bug. Fortunately, Battlestate Games, the developers behind Escape From Tarkov, are aware of the issue and actively working on a solution. In a statement released on the official Escape From Tarkov social media channels, they confirmed that a new patch addressing this issue, along with other remaining bugs, is forthcoming. Another concern that may require more time to resolve is a noticeable drop in performance following the recent patch. Many players have reported performance issues as the update. This likely stems from the game’s recent engine upgrade to Unity 2022. While this move promises long-term benefits, it appears that optimizing performance will be a gradual process. More details on the upcoming patches and their timelines are expected to be released soon.Performance Improvements on the Horizon for 2025
Even though specific details are scarce, exciting news has surfaced regarding the future of a popular platform.During a recent TV stream, the announcement was made that performance and optimization will be key focus areas for the coming year, 2025. This commitment suggests that the progress team is actively working to address any existing performance issues and enhance the overall user experience.
“It was announced that one of the main focuses for 2025 is to improve performance and optimization, so it is indeed at least something the devs are aware of.”

## Escape From Tarkov‘s Latest Wipe: Technical Troubles Plague Launch The highly anticipated wipe for *Escape From Tarkov* launched on December 25th, 2024, bringing with it a wave of excitement from players eager to experience the refreshed gameplay adn new content.

Recent Escape From Tarkov Patch Brings New Issues, Fixes on the Way
Escape From Tarkov’s latest patch aimed to tackle numerous player-reported issues, promising a smoother experience following the recent game wipe. Though, some problems, particularly with PvE raid saving, persisted, leaving players frustrated. The biggest issue revolves around the failure of PvE raids to save properly.This means that players can successfully extract from a raid but lose their hard-earned gear upon completion. As an extraction shooter, this is a major problem, substantially impacting gameplay. “This is a pretty big issue for an extraction shooter,” echoing the sentiment of many players navigating this frustrating bug. Fortunately, Battlestate Games, the developers behind Escape From Tarkov, are aware of the issue and actively working on a solution. In a statement released on the official Escape From Tarkov social media channels, they confirmed that a new patch addressing this issue, along with other remaining bugs, is forthcoming. Another concern that may require more time to resolve is a noticeable drop in performance following the recent patch. Many players have reported performance issues as the update. This likely stems from the game’s recent engine upgrade to Unity 2022. While this move promises long-term benefits, it appears that optimizing performance will be a gradual process. More details on the upcoming patches and their timelines are expected to be released soon.Performance Improvements on the Horizon for 2025
Even though specific details are scarce, exciting news has surfaced regarding the future of a popular platform.During a recent TV stream, the announcement was made that performance and optimization will be key focus areas for the coming year, 2025. This commitment suggests that the progress team is actively working to address any existing performance issues and enhance the overall user experience.
“It was announced that one of the main focuses for 2025 is to improve performance and optimization, so it is indeed at least something the devs are aware of.”
## Braving teh Battlestate: The Tarkov Wipe and Its Turbulent Launch
**[Introduction Music]**
**Host:** Welcome back to Archyde’s Gaming Globe. Today,we delve into the tumultuous launch of Escape From Tarkov’s latest wipe. The highly anticipated reset, which brought a wave of fresh content and gameplay to the unforgiving world of Tarkov, was unfortunately marred by technical issues that left many players stranded and frustrated.
Joining us to analyze the situation and offer his outlook is renowned Tarkov veteran and community contributor, Alex Reed. Welcome to the show.
**Alex Reed:** Thanks for having me. It’s certainly been a chaotic launch,to say the least.
**Host:** Let’s talk about the initial impact. Server congestion was expected given the massive player influx, but what other issues arose that hinted at deeper problems?
**Alex Reed:** From the outset, it was clear that the issues went beyond server strain. Players, myself included, encountered persistent micro-stuttering, sudden performance drops, and even abrupt disconnections right as thay loaded into raids. It felt like the game itself was struggling to handle even basic functions. [ [1](https://forum.escapefromtarkov.com/topic/166021-im-having-performance-issues-after-patchwipe-not-amd/) ]
**host:** It sounds like a nightmare for any Tarkov player. Were these problems exclusive to certain hardware setups, or did they affect a wide range of players?
**Alex Reed**: Based on community feedback, it seemed to be a widespread issue. [ [1](https://forum.escapefromtarkov.com/topic/166021-im-having-performance-issues-after-patchwipe-not-amd/) ]There’s a post on the Tarkov forums with a thread full of players reporting similar problems, regardless of weather they were using high-end rigs or more modest setups.
**Host**: Beyond general performance, were there any specific gameplay bugs that further impacted players’ experience?
**Alex Reed:** Absolutely.Many reported cases of losing gear despite successfully extracting from raids, which is a huge deal in Tarkov, where every piece of loot is precious. Others encountered bugs that let them retain their gear even after dying, which throws the game’s realistic balance fully out of whack. There were even issues with quests failing to reward players correctly or failing altogether.

Recent Escape From Tarkov Patch Brings New Issues, Fixes on the Way
Escape From Tarkov’s latest patch aimed to tackle numerous player-reported issues, promising a smoother experience following the recent game wipe. Though, some problems, particularly with PvE raid saving, persisted, leaving players frustrated. The biggest issue revolves around the failure of PvE raids to save properly.This means that players can successfully extract from a raid but lose their hard-earned gear upon completion. As an extraction shooter, this is a major problem, substantially impacting gameplay. “This is a pretty big issue for an extraction shooter,” echoing the sentiment of many players navigating this frustrating bug. Fortunately, Battlestate Games, the developers behind Escape From Tarkov, are aware of the issue and actively working on a solution. In a statement released on the official Escape From Tarkov social media channels, they confirmed that a new patch addressing this issue, along with other remaining bugs, is forthcoming. Another concern that may require more time to resolve is a noticeable drop in performance following the recent patch. Many players have reported performance issues as the update. This likely stems from the game’s recent engine upgrade to Unity 2022. While this move promises long-term benefits, it appears that optimizing performance will be a gradual process. More details on the upcoming patches and their timelines are expected to be released soon.Performance Improvements on the Horizon for 2025
Even though specific details are scarce, exciting news has surfaced regarding the future of a popular platform.During a recent TV stream, the announcement was made that performance and optimization will be key focus areas for the coming year, 2025. This commitment suggests that the progress team is actively working to address any existing performance issues and enhance the overall user experience.
“It was announced that one of the main focuses for 2025 is to improve performance and optimization, so it is indeed at least something the devs are aware of.”
## Braving teh Battlestate: The Tarkov Wipe and Its Turbulent Launch
**[Introduction Music]**
**Host:** Welcome back to Archyde’s Gaming Globe. Today,we delve into the tumultuous launch of Escape From Tarkov’s latest wipe. The highly anticipated reset, which brought a wave of fresh content and gameplay to the unforgiving world of Tarkov, was unfortunately marred by technical issues that left many players stranded and frustrated.
Joining us to analyze the situation and offer his outlook is renowned Tarkov veteran and community contributor, Alex Reed. Welcome to the show.
**Alex Reed:** Thanks for having me. It’s certainly been a chaotic launch,to say the least.
**Host:** Let’s talk about the initial impact. Server congestion was expected given the massive player influx, but what other issues arose that hinted at deeper problems?
**Alex Reed:** From the outset, it was clear that the issues went beyond server strain. Players, myself included, encountered persistent micro-stuttering, sudden performance drops, and even abrupt disconnections right as thay loaded into raids. It felt like the game itself was struggling to handle even basic functions. [ [1](https://forum.escapefromtarkov.com/topic/166021-im-having-performance-issues-after-patchwipe-not-amd/) ]
**host:** It sounds like a nightmare for any Tarkov player. Were these problems exclusive to certain hardware setups, or did they affect a wide range of players?
**Alex Reed**: Based on community feedback, it seemed to be a widespread issue. [ [1](https://forum.escapefromtarkov.com/topic/166021-im-having-performance-issues-after-patchwipe-not-amd/) ]There’s a post on the Tarkov forums with a thread full of players reporting similar problems, regardless of weather they were using high-end rigs or more modest setups.
**Host**: Beyond general performance, were there any specific gameplay bugs that further impacted players’ experience?
**Alex Reed:** Absolutely.Many reported cases of losing gear despite successfully extracting from raids, which is a huge deal in Tarkov, where every piece of loot is precious. Others encountered bugs that let them retain their gear even after dying, which throws the game’s realistic balance fully out of whack. There were even issues with quests failing to reward players correctly or failing altogether.
**host:** These are serious problems that can significantly dampen the enjoyment of a game already known for its difficulty. how has the development team, Battlestate Games, responded to these widespread issues?
**Alex Reed:** Battlestate has acknowledged the problems and has been actively working on hotfixes and patches to address them. They’ve been communicating with the community, which is appreciated, but it’s clear that these issues need further attention and a more long-term solution.
**Host:** It sounds like a challenging situation for both the developers and the players. Do you think that these technical problems will ultimately overshadow the positive aspects of the new wipe?
**Alex Reed:** It’s certainly a setback, but I’m hopeful. This community is incredibly passionate and resilient. We’ve weathered storms before. What ultimately matters is that Battlestate Games demonstrates a commitment to fixing these issues and ensuring a stable and enjoyable experience for everyone.
**Host**: Well said. We certainly hope for a smoother ride for all brave souls venturing into Tarkov in the future. Alex Reed, thank you so much for sharing yoru insights and experiences with us today.
**Alex Reed**: My pleasure.

## Braving teh Battlestate: The Tarkov Wipe and Its Turbulent Launch
**[Introduction Music]**
**Host:** Welcome back to Archyde’s Gaming Globe. Today,we delve into the tumultuous launch of Escape From Tarkov’s latest wipe. The highly anticipated reset, which brought a wave of fresh content and gameplay to the unforgiving world of Tarkov, was unfortunately marred by technical issues that left many players stranded and frustrated.
Joining us to analyze the situation and offer his outlook is renowned Tarkov veteran and community contributor, Alex Reed. Welcome to the show.
**Alex Reed:** Thanks for having me. It’s certainly been a chaotic launch,to say the least.
**Host:** Let’s talk about the initial impact. Server congestion was expected given the massive player influx, but what other issues arose that hinted at deeper problems?
**Alex Reed:** From the outset, it was clear that the issues went beyond server strain. Players, myself included, encountered persistent micro-stuttering, sudden performance drops, and even abrupt disconnections right as thay loaded into raids. It felt like the game itself was struggling to handle even basic functions. [ [1](https://forum.escapefromtarkov.com/topic/166021-im-having-performance-issues-after-patchwipe-not-amd/) ]
**host:** It sounds like a nightmare for any Tarkov player. Were these problems exclusive to certain hardware setups, or did they affect a wide range of players?
**Alex Reed**: Based on community feedback, it seemed to be a widespread issue. [ [1](https://forum.escapefromtarkov.com/topic/166021-im-having-performance-issues-after-patchwipe-not-amd/) ]There’s a post on the Tarkov forums with a thread full of players reporting similar problems, regardless of weather they were using high-end rigs or more modest setups.
**Host**: Beyond general performance, were there any specific gameplay bugs that further impacted players’ experience?
**Alex Reed:** Absolutely.Many reported cases of losing gear despite successfully extracting from raids, which is a huge deal in Tarkov, where every piece of loot is precious. Others encountered bugs that let them retain their gear even after dying, which throws the game’s realistic balance fully out of whack. There were even issues with quests failing to reward players correctly or failing altogether.
**host:** These are serious problems that can significantly dampen the enjoyment of a game already known for its difficulty. how has the development team, Battlestate Games, responded to these widespread issues?
**Alex Reed:** Battlestate has acknowledged the problems and has been actively working on hotfixes and patches to address them. They’ve been communicating with the community, which is appreciated, but it’s clear that these issues need further attention and a more long-term solution.
**Host:** It sounds like a challenging situation for both the developers and the players. Do you think that these technical problems will ultimately overshadow the positive aspects of the new wipe?
**Alex Reed:** It’s certainly a setback, but I’m hopeful. This community is incredibly passionate and resilient. We’ve weathered storms before. What ultimately matters is that Battlestate Games demonstrates a commitment to fixing these issues and ensuring a stable and enjoyable experience for everyone.
**Host**: Well said. We certainly hope for a smoother ride for all brave souls venturing into Tarkov in the future. Alex Reed, thank you so much for sharing yoru insights and experiences with us today.
**Alex Reed**: My pleasure.

## Escape From Tarkov‘s Latest Wipe: Technical Troubles Plague Launch The highly anticipated wipe for *Escape From Tarkov* launched on December 25th, 2024, bringing with it a wave of excitement from players eager to experience the refreshed gameplay adn new content.

Recent Escape From Tarkov Patch Brings New Issues, Fixes on the Way
Escape From Tarkov’s latest patch aimed to tackle numerous player-reported issues, promising a smoother experience following the recent game wipe. Though, some problems, particularly with PvE raid saving, persisted, leaving players frustrated. The biggest issue revolves around the failure of PvE raids to save properly.This means that players can successfully extract from a raid but lose their hard-earned gear upon completion. As an extraction shooter, this is a major problem, substantially impacting gameplay. “This is a pretty big issue for an extraction shooter,” echoing the sentiment of many players navigating this frustrating bug. Fortunately, Battlestate Games, the developers behind Escape From Tarkov, are aware of the issue and actively working on a solution. In a statement released on the official Escape From Tarkov social media channels, they confirmed that a new patch addressing this issue, along with other remaining bugs, is forthcoming. Another concern that may require more time to resolve is a noticeable drop in performance following the recent patch. Many players have reported performance issues as the update. This likely stems from the game’s recent engine upgrade to Unity 2022. While this move promises long-term benefits, it appears that optimizing performance will be a gradual process. More details on the upcoming patches and their timelines are expected to be released soon.Performance Improvements on the Horizon for 2025
Even though specific details are scarce, exciting news has surfaced regarding the future of a popular platform.During a recent TV stream, the announcement was made that performance and optimization will be key focus areas for the coming year, 2025. This commitment suggests that the progress team is actively working to address any existing performance issues and enhance the overall user experience.

**Alex Reed:** Absolutely.Many reported cases of losing gear despite successfully extracting from raids, which is a huge deal in Tarkov, where every piece of loot is precious.

**Host:** It sounds like a challenging situation for both the developers and the players. Do you think that these technical problems will ultimately overshadow the positive aspects of the new wipe?
**Alex Reed:** It’s certainly a setback, but I’m hopeful. This community is incredibly passionate and resilient. We’ve weathered storms before. What ultimately matters is that Battlestate Games demonstrates a commitment to fixing these issues and ensuring a stable and enjoyable experience for everyone.

## Escape From Tarkov‘s Latest Wipe: Technical Troubles Plague Launch The highly anticipated wipe for *Escape From Tarkov* launched on December 25th, 2024, bringing with it a wave of excitement from players eager to experience the refreshed gameplay adn new content. However, the launch was marred by numerous technical issues, disrupting the experience for many.

Recent Escape From Tarkov Patch Brings New Issues, Fixes on the Way
Escape From Tarkov’s latest patch aimed to tackle numerous player-reported issues, promising a smoother experience following the recent game wipe. Though, some problems, particularly with PvE raid saving, persisted, leaving players frustrated. The biggest issue revolves around the failure of PvE raids to save properly.This means that players can successfully extract from a raid but lose their hard-earned gear upon completion. As an extraction shooter, this is a major problem, substantially impacting gameplay. “This is a pretty big issue for an extraction shooter,” echoing the sentiment of many players navigating this frustrating bug. Fortunately, Battlestate Games, the developers behind Escape From Tarkov, are aware of the issue and actively working on a solution. In a statement released on the official Escape From Tarkov social media channels, they confirmed that a new patch addressing this issue, along with other remaining bugs, is forthcoming. Another concern that may require more time to resolve is a noticeable drop in performance following the recent patch. Many players have reported performance issues as the update. This likely stems from the game’s recent engine upgrade to Unity 2022. While this move promises long-term benefits, it appears that optimizing performance will be a gradual process. More details on the upcoming patches and their timelines are expected to be released soon.Performance Improvements on the Horizon for 2025
Even though specific details are scarce, exciting news has surfaced regarding the future of a popular platform.During a recent TV stream, the announcement was made that performance and optimization will be key focus areas for the coming year, 2025. This commitment suggests that the progress team is actively working to address any existing performance issues and enhance the overall user experience.
“It was announced that one of the main focuses for 2025 is to improve performance and optimization, so it is indeed at least something the devs are aware of.”

**Host:** Welcome back to Archyde’s Gaming Globe. Today,we delve into the tumultuous launch of Escape From Tarkov’s latest wipe. The highly anticipated reset, which brought a wave of fresh content and gameplay to the unforgiving world of Tarkov, was unfortunately marred by technical issues that left many players stranded and frustrated.
Joining us to analyze the situation and offer his outlook is renowned Tarkov veteran and community contributor, Alex Reed. Welcome to the show.
**Alex Reed:** Thanks for having me. It’s certainly been a chaotic launch,to say the least.
**Host:** Let’s talk about the initial impact. Server congestion was expected given the massive player influx, but what other issues arose that hinted at deeper problems?
**Alex Reed:** From the outset, it was clear that the issues went beyond server strain. Players, myself included, encountered persistent micro-stuttering, sudden performance drops, and even abrupt disconnections right as thay loaded into raids. It felt like the game itself was struggling to handle even basic functions. [ [1](https://forum.escapefromtarkov.com/topic/166021-im-having-performance-issues-after-patchwipe-not-amd/) ]

Recent Escape From Tarkov Patch Brings New Issues, Fixes on the Way
Escape From Tarkov’s latest patch aimed to tackle numerous player-reported issues, promising a smoother experience following the recent game wipe. Though, some problems, particularly with PvE raid saving, persisted, leaving players frustrated. The biggest issue revolves around the failure of PvE raids to save properly.This means that players can successfully extract from a raid but lose their hard-earned gear upon completion. As an extraction shooter, this is a major problem, substantially impacting gameplay. “This is a pretty big issue for an extraction shooter,” echoing the sentiment of many players navigating this frustrating bug. Fortunately, Battlestate Games, the developers behind Escape From Tarkov, are aware of the issue and actively working on a solution. In a statement released on the official Escape From Tarkov social media channels, they confirmed that a new patch addressing this issue, along with other remaining bugs, is forthcoming. Another concern that may require more time to resolve is a noticeable drop in performance following the recent patch. Many players have reported performance issues as the update. This likely stems from the game’s recent engine upgrade to Unity 2022. While this move promises long-term benefits, it appears that optimizing performance will be a gradual process. More details on the upcoming patches and their timelines are expected to be released soon.Performance Improvements on the Horizon for 2025
Even though specific details are scarce, exciting news has surfaced regarding the future of a popular platform.During a recent TV stream, the announcement was made that performance and optimization will be key focus areas for the coming year, 2025. This commitment suggests that the progress team is actively working to address any existing performance issues and enhance the overall user experience.
“It was announced that one of the main focuses for 2025 is to improve performance and optimization, so it is indeed at least something the devs are aware of.”
## Braving teh Battlestate: The Tarkov Wipe and Its Turbulent Launch
**[Introduction Music]**
**Host:** Welcome back to Archyde’s Gaming Globe. Today,we delve into the tumultuous launch of Escape From Tarkov’s latest wipe. The highly anticipated reset, which brought a wave of fresh content and gameplay to the unforgiving world of Tarkov, was unfortunately marred by technical issues that left many players stranded and frustrated.
Joining us to analyze the situation and offer his outlook is renowned Tarkov veteran and community contributor, Alex Reed. Welcome to the show.
**Alex Reed:** Thanks for having me. It’s certainly been a chaotic launch,to say the least.
**Host:** Let’s talk about the initial impact. Server congestion was expected given the massive player influx, but what other issues arose that hinted at deeper problems?
**Alex Reed:** From the outset, it was clear that the issues went beyond server strain. Players, myself included, encountered persistent micro-stuttering, sudden performance drops, and even abrupt disconnections right as thay loaded into raids. It felt like the game itself was struggling to handle even basic functions. [ [1](https://forum.escapefromtarkov.com/topic/166021-im-having-performance-issues-after-patchwipe-not-amd/) ]
**host:** It sounds like a nightmare for any Tarkov player. Were these problems exclusive to certain hardware setups, or did they affect a wide range of players?
**Alex Reed**: Based on community feedback, it seemed to be a widespread issue. [ [1](https://forum.escapefromtarkov.com/topic/166021-im-having-performance-issues-after-patchwipe-not-amd/) ]There’s a post on the Tarkov forums with a thread full of players reporting similar problems, regardless of weather they were using high-end rigs or more modest setups.
**Host**: Beyond general performance, were there any specific gameplay bugs that further impacted players’ experience?
**Alex Reed:** Absolutely.Many reported cases of losing gear despite successfully extracting from raids, which is a huge deal in Tarkov, where every piece of loot is precious. Others encountered bugs that let them retain their gear even after dying, which throws the game’s realistic balance fully out of whack. There were even issues with quests failing to reward players correctly or failing altogether.
**host:** These are serious problems that can significantly dampen the enjoyment of a game already known for its difficulty. how has the development team, Battlestate Games, responded to these widespread issues?

Even though specific details are scarce, exciting news has surfaced regarding the future of a popular platform.During a recent TV stream, the announcement was made that performance and optimization will be key focus areas for the coming year, 2025. This commitment suggests that the progress team is actively working to address any existing performance issues and enhance the overall user experience.

## Braving teh Battlestate: The Tarkov Wipe and Its Turbulent Launch
**[Introduction Music]**
**Host:** Welcome back to Archyde’s Gaming Globe. Today,we delve into the tumultuous launch of Escape From Tarkov’s latest wipe. The highly anticipated reset, which brought a wave of fresh content and gameplay to the unforgiving world of Tarkov, was unfortunately marred by technical issues that left many players stranded and frustrated.
Joining us to analyze the situation and offer his outlook is renowned Tarkov veteran and community contributor, Alex Reed. Welcome to the show.
**Alex Reed:** Thanks for having me. It’s certainly been a chaotic launch,to say the least.
**Host:** Let’s talk about the initial impact. Server congestion was expected given the massive player influx, but what other issues arose that hinted at deeper problems?
**Alex Reed:** From the outset, it was clear that the issues went beyond server strain. Players, myself included, encountered persistent micro-stuttering, sudden performance drops, and even abrupt disconnections right as thay loaded into raids. It felt like the game itself was struggling to handle even basic functions. [ [1](https://forum.escapefromtarkov.com/topic/166021-im-having-performance-issues-after-patchwipe-not-amd/) ]
**host:** It sounds like a nightmare for any Tarkov player. Were these problems exclusive to certain hardware setups, or did they affect a wide range of players?
**Alex Reed**: Based on community feedback, it seemed to be a widespread issue. [ [1](https://forum.escapefromtarkov.com/topic/166021-im-having-performance-issues-after-patchwipe-not-amd/) ]There’s a post on the Tarkov forums with a thread full of players reporting similar problems, regardless of weather they were using high-end rigs or more modest setups.
**Host**: Beyond general performance, were there any specific gameplay bugs that further impacted players’ experience?
**Alex Reed:** Absolutely.Many reported cases of losing gear despite successfully extracting from raids, which is a huge deal in Tarkov, where every piece of loot is precious. Others encountered bugs that let them retain their gear even after dying, which throws the game’s realistic balance fully out of whack. There were even issues with quests failing to reward players correctly or failing altogether.
**host:** These are serious problems that can significantly dampen the enjoyment of a game already known for its difficulty. how has the development team, Battlestate Games, responded to these widespread issues?
**Alex Reed:** Battlestate has acknowledged the problems and has been actively working on hotfixes and patches to address them. They’ve been communicating with the community, which is appreciated, but it’s clear that these issues need further attention and a more long-term solution.
**Host:** It sounds like a challenging situation for both the developers and the players. Do you think that these technical problems will ultimately overshadow the positive aspects of the new wipe?
**Alex Reed:** It’s certainly a setback, but I’m hopeful. This community is incredibly passionate and resilient. We’ve weathered storms before. What ultimately matters is that Battlestate Games demonstrates a commitment to fixing these issues and ensuring a stable and enjoyable experience for everyone.
**Host**: Well said. We certainly hope for a smoother ride for all brave souls venturing into Tarkov in the future. Alex Reed, thank you so much for sharing yoru insights and experiences with us today.
**Alex Reed**: My pleasure.

Recent Escape From Tarkov Patch Brings New Issues, Fixes on the Way
Escape From Tarkov’s latest patch aimed to tackle numerous player-reported issues, promising a smoother experience following the recent game wipe. Though, some problems, particularly with PvE raid saving, persisted, leaving players frustrated. The biggest issue revolves around the failure of PvE raids to save properly.This means that players can successfully extract from a raid but lose their hard-earned gear upon completion. As an extraction shooter, this is a major problem, substantially impacting gameplay. “This is a pretty big issue for an extraction shooter,” echoing the sentiment of many players navigating this frustrating bug. Fortunately, Battlestate Games, the developers behind Escape From Tarkov, are aware of the issue and actively working on a solution. In a statement released on the official Escape From Tarkov social media channels, they confirmed that a new patch addressing this issue, along with other remaining bugs, is forthcoming.

**host:** It sounds like a nightmare for any Tarkov player. Were these problems exclusive to certain hardware setups, or did they affect a wide range of players?
**Alex Reed**: Based on community feedback, it seemed to be a widespread issue. [ [1](https://forum.escapefromtarkov.com/topic/166021-im-having-performance-issues-after-patchwipe-not-amd/) ]There’s a post on the Tarkov forums with a thread full of players reporting similar problems, regardless of weather they were using high-end rigs or more modest setups.
**Host**: Beyond general performance, were there any specific gameplay bugs that further impacted players’ experience?
**Alex Reed:** Absolutely.Many reported cases of losing gear despite successfully extracting from raids, which is a huge deal in Tarkov, where every piece of loot is precious. Others encountered bugs that let them retain their gear even after dying, which throws the game’s realistic balance fully out of whack. There were even issues with quests failing to reward players correctly or failing altogether.
**host:** These are serious problems that can significantly dampen the enjoyment of a game already known for its difficulty. how has the development team, Battlestate Games, responded to these widespread issues?
**Alex Reed:** Battlestate has acknowledged the problems and has been actively working on hotfixes and patches to address them. They’ve been communicating with the community, which is appreciated, but it’s clear that these issues need further attention and a more long-term solution.
**Host:** It sounds like a challenging situation for both the developers and the players. Do you think that these technical problems will ultimately overshadow the positive aspects of the new wipe?
**Alex Reed:** It’s certainly a setback, but I’m hopeful. This community is incredibly passionate and resilient. We’ve weathered storms before. What ultimately matters is that Battlestate Games demonstrates a commitment to fixing these issues and ensuring a stable and enjoyable experience for everyone.
**Host**: Well said. We certainly hope for a smoother ride for all brave souls venturing into Tarkov in the future. Alex Reed, thank you so much for sharing yoru insights and experiences with us today.

Recent Escape From Tarkov Patch Brings New Issues, Fixes on the Way
Escape From Tarkov’s latest patch aimed to tackle numerous player-reported issues, promising a smoother experience following the recent game wipe. Though, some problems, particularly with PvE raid saving, persisted, leaving players frustrated. The biggest issue revolves around the failure of PvE raids to save properly.This means that players can successfully extract from a raid but lose their hard-earned gear upon completion. As an extraction shooter, this is a major problem, substantially impacting gameplay. “This is a pretty big issue for an extraction shooter,” echoing the sentiment of many players navigating this frustrating bug. Fortunately, Battlestate Games, the developers behind Escape From Tarkov, are aware of the issue and actively working on a solution. In a statement released on the official Escape From Tarkov social media channels, they confirmed that a new patch addressing this issue, along with other remaining bugs, is forthcoming. Another concern that may require more time to resolve is a noticeable drop in performance following the recent patch. Many players have reported performance issues as the update. This likely stems from the game’s recent engine upgrade to Unity 2022. While this move promises long-term benefits, it appears that optimizing performance will be a gradual process. More details on the upcoming patches and their timelines are expected to be released soon.Performance Improvements on the Horizon for 2025
Even though specific details are scarce, exciting news has surfaced regarding the future of a popular platform.During a recent TV stream, the announcement was made that performance and optimization will be key focus areas for the coming year, 2025. This commitment suggests that the progress team is actively working to address any existing performance issues and enhance the overall user experience.
“It was announced that one of the main focuses for 2025 is to improve performance and optimization, so it is indeed at least something the devs are aware of.”

Recent Escape From Tarkov Patch Brings New Issues, Fixes on the Way
Escape From Tarkov’s latest patch aimed to tackle numerous player-reported issues, promising a smoother experience following the recent game wipe. Though, some problems, particularly with PvE raid saving, persisted, leaving players frustrated. The biggest issue revolves around the failure of PvE raids to save properly.This means that players can successfully extract from a raid but lose their hard-earned gear upon completion. As an extraction shooter, this is a major problem, substantially impacting gameplay. “This is a pretty big issue for an extraction shooter,” echoing the sentiment of many players navigating this frustrating bug. Fortunately, Battlestate Games, the developers behind Escape From Tarkov, are aware of the issue and actively working on a solution. In a statement released on the official Escape From Tarkov social media channels, they confirmed that a new patch addressing this issue, along with other remaining bugs, is forthcoming. Another concern that may require more time to resolve is a noticeable drop in performance following the recent patch. Many players have reported performance issues as the update. This likely stems from the game’s recent engine upgrade to Unity 2022. While this move promises long-term benefits, it appears that optimizing performance will be a gradual process. More details on the upcoming patches and their timelines are expected to be released soon.Performance Improvements on the Horizon for 2025
Even though specific details are scarce, exciting news has surfaced regarding the future of a popular platform.During a recent TV stream, the announcement was made that performance and optimization will be key focus areas for the coming year, 2025. This commitment suggests that the progress team is actively working to address any existing performance issues and enhance the overall user experience.
“It was announced that one of the main focuses for 2025 is to improve performance and optimization, so it is indeed at least something the devs are aware of.”
## Braving teh Battlestate: The Tarkov Wipe and Its Turbulent Launch
**[Introduction Music]**
**Host:** Welcome back to Archyde’s Gaming Globe. Today,we delve into the tumultuous launch of Escape From Tarkov’s latest wipe. The highly anticipated reset, which brought a wave of fresh content and gameplay to the unforgiving world of Tarkov, was unfortunately marred by technical issues that left many players stranded and frustrated.
Joining us to analyze the situation and offer his outlook is renowned Tarkov veteran and community contributor, Alex Reed. Welcome to the show.
**Alex Reed:** Thanks for having me. It’s certainly been a chaotic launch,to say the least.
**Host:** Let’s talk about the initial impact. Server congestion was expected given the massive player influx, but what other issues arose that hinted at deeper problems?
**Alex Reed:** From the outset, it was clear that the issues went beyond server strain. Players, myself included, encountered persistent micro-stuttering, sudden performance drops, and even abrupt disconnections right as thay loaded into raids. It felt like the game itself was struggling to handle even basic functions. [ [1](https://forum.escapefromtarkov.com/topic/166021-im-having-performance-issues-after-patchwipe-not-amd/) ]
**host:** It sounds like a nightmare for any Tarkov player. Were these problems exclusive to certain hardware setups, or did they affect a wide range of players?
**Alex Reed**: Based on community feedback, it seemed to be a widespread issue. [ [1](https://forum.escapefromtarkov.com/topic/166021-im-having-performance-issues-after-patchwipe-not-amd/) ]There’s a post on the Tarkov forums with a thread full of players reporting similar problems, regardless of weather they were using high-end rigs or more modest setups.
**Host**: Beyond general performance, were there any specific gameplay bugs that further impacted players’ experience?
**Alex Reed:** Absolutely.Many reported cases of losing gear despite successfully extracting from raids, which is a huge deal in Tarkov, where every piece of loot is precious. Others encountered bugs that let them retain their gear even after dying, which throws the game’s realistic balance fully out of whack. There were even issues with quests failing to reward players correctly or failing altogether.
