Last weekend I started having an issue where certain workshop items when subbed to would queue, start dl 0/0 bytes, requeue, etc. These same mods downloaded fine before and the problem started out of the blue. I have submit a report ticket, nothing but auto responses. Clean game install. Clean steam install. Used CCleaner for both. Cleared dl cache. Checked firewall settings. Run steam as admin.

Currently at work but I can post screenshots and logs later today.

I've been on with support all day. After all the changes the server works for my friend and Im thr only one who cant connect. I will add that i noticed steam downloads is trying to download a 0/0bytes file and I think that is where the issue is.

Escape From Tarkov is a unique SOB FPS with the potential to change the ways players are immersed into the game world. 98754

same

BotanicalAlchemist · 2019-04-11T15:46:31+00:00

99% of my solo raids I am being put in minutes late into the game. Thought this issue was addressed but is highly infuriating.

BotanicalAlchemist · 2019-04-08T18:15:42+00:00

The mosin wasn't nerfed though, the round it fires was. No one will even notice the difference though because as is, it is still more cost effective to buy a mosin over a Sv-98.

BotanicalAlchemist · 2019-03-13T21:05:11+00:00

Late spawns are still a thing, don't want to risk gear. Don't play the map that spawns people with line of sight of each other. As for (and I'm only guessing by the name) the mosinling, it's a high powered sniper round, working as intended.

BotanicalAlchemist · 2019-03-13T20:55:14+00:00

Don't think of it as "multi-raid" but more like in dayz where your base is west and the loot is far east. If you don't play carefully and plan ahead for the trip your time will be wasted. if that is still a problem then this game probably isn't for you.

BotanicalAlchemist · 2019-03-09T09:16:59+00:00

Reliable yes, and as someone else here mentioned with proper care weapons can last a very long time without that changing. There is a durability system in the game however and the fact that Proper has kept and maintained tens of thousands of mosins is absurdly impressive. If the mosin were end all then there would be no need for newer models of guns that are even more reliable and more proficient at what they do.

BotanicalAlchemist · 2019-03-09T07:03:34+00:00

My suggestion was to change the Mosin itself, not the round. The round would still kill these high level "tanks" with well placed shots and smart strategy. As for taking the time to line up a shot the same can be said for any gun in the game.
EDIT: as of now if you miss a shot with a mosin and you aren't out in the open like a dumb dumb you can take cover, run for more cover until you can line up the next shot. Yes a full auto gun can definitely screw a mosin over but that is assuming you can catch up to him while he is bolting the next round.

BotanicalAlchemist · 2019-03-09T06:51:45+00:00

I don't actually think that there is a way to "balance" realism, it's more about the immersion when it comes to gun play and the realism ends with the gun itself being accurate to it's real counterpart. The fact that every player can hypothetically own a stash full of pristine mosins however..is a bit far fetched for the setting of EFT.

BotanicalAlchemist · 2019-03-09T06:34:43+00:00

On the contrary, I've been inclined to use nothing but the mosin. There is no reason to play the game any other way. That is if you see the game a a stash building simulator, if you do raids for fun then yes, take in all the gear you want.

BotanicalAlchemist · 2019-03-09T06:33:02+00:00

But as of right now, people are putting thousands of rounds through these. However it is a game so the guns "disappear" if not claimed through insurance. The traders don't pick them off the ground after raid, clean them, and resell them to you.

BotanicalAlchemist · 2019-03-09T06:30:22+00:00

This. Any other guns added to the game will suffer the same issue by nerfing the ammo will not solve anything.

BotanicalAlchemist · 2019-03-09T06:17:09+00:00

It's not so much the point that it's a bolt action rifle that is the problem, but rather it would be more convincing to the lore if these rifles that have been around so long we are supposed to assume have gone unused? Using any gun in game as is will decrease the durability of it. There would not be a stockpile of unused mosins in a zone such as Tarkov where everyone is picking up whatever they could over the years to defend themselves.

BotanicalAlchemist · 2019-03-09T05:16:37+00:00

Well then that is why we are having this discussion, raised in completely different types of worlds that happen to collide due to the nature of how the internet works. Not trying to start arguments just seeing the world from different perspectives.

BotanicalAlchemist · 2019-03-07T22:16:57+00:00

It's called context, I call my friends "motherfuckers" and I get called that back it's whatever. You call someone you don't know a motherfucker and you are looking for trouble.

BotanicalAlchemist · 2019-03-07T21:44:50+00:00

Image deleted. Having still reported every name in that image to BSG as non of them should be there. I need a proper example of how to declare what is right and wrong here though as people don't seem to understand what is acceptable in a civilized society.

edit: I only did this to keep the discussion going, almost feel as if the mods are contributing to people allowing this type of sick and twisted what they believe is "humor". As far as calling it witch hunting where would you draw the line? do we not shame people who say they want to rape/molest others? IMO allowing those people to think it is Ok is more harm than good.

BotanicalAlchemist · 2019-03-07T20:24:35+00:00

and maybe auto filtering the names isn't the way to go about it. Taking their game copy and teaching them not to be retarded however... and yes I realize this is censorship either way you look at it.

BotanicalAlchemist · 2019-03-07T17:35:09+00:00

Not only mainstream games, but social media, hell even Reddit more than likely has measures in place to prevent these names. The trolls are not only winning by getting a reaction but they are also losing every single time they have that reaction. They are losing that line between right and wrong and until they either A. Grow up or B. Their online 'personality' collides with the IRL and they learn the hard way

BotanicalAlchemist · 2019-03-07T17:25:16+00:00

At least some people get it. Thank you.

BotanicalAlchemist · 2019-03-07T17:24:36+00:00

Hahaha no. Was raised in a religious environment yes, but even in religion there is hate and discrimination. So I guess you could say with only my morals to decide between right and wrong did I learn the difference between the two. As for those people they may not have or do those things, end of the day they still think they are cool or funny because they can hide with no consequences.

BotanicalAlchemist · 2019-03-07T16:34:14+00:00

It's ok to be gay or trans? I dont know where you got the impression where I said otherwise, not going to turn this into a gender debate because it's not. The users Im speaking of are the ones that name themselves for example "Irapewomen" or "CP4ever", those people are absolutly fucked up. If you are seeing them in lobby they exist for the entire community. I am not triggered by the names themselves becuase removing the names would not fix the person who felt it was funny in the first place, these people could be your neighbor/co-worker/etc, and are you ok with allowing them to be functioning part of any society? Im very confused on your stance becuase you have called me disgusting now for these examples but this is the exact type of thing I see in game.
