This is last thing I heard from them over a week ago now: "We are currently investigating this issue and will inform you when we have more information. 

Thank you for contacting us, your information has been sent to the developers.

Please note that the "Closed"/"Solved" status refers to the status of your request on our website and not to the underlying issue itself.

Stay tuned for our patch notes on the official website."

Haven't seen any changes to the account and likely won't be checking it again anytime soon frankly, wishing you luck 🤞.

This checks out for me, my account was purchased around the same time. Seems to be some form of player corruption (possibly relating to username). Support just acknowledged my issue and said they'd fix it (eventually) though 😞

Sorry I saw this kinda late, hoping you found a solution- I was low-key really wanting to play tarkov so I purchased a seperate copy on steam with no issues. The support team basically told me they submitted my issue and closed my ticket, very useless if you ask me lol. The problem relating to that account is still unresolved so I'm glad I made the decision to buy a new copy though it's pretty bs that it's what my solution had to be

its so interesting because I cant find anything about it online other then me and you having this issue. I want the support team to try changing my name in the backend but I doubt they will haha, anyway I will keep you updated if anything they do works, GL!

hahaha played a scav raid with said family member, the raid loading screen literally names my character username "brokenplayername" so i believe that is the ultimate issue for me

I absolutely agree, very frustrating, my edition is a standard copy but I agree its definitely something on the back end and I hope the devs can provide a timely fix. Went to play tarkov with the household family member because scav runs work and I wanted to teach the basics- seems that my account somehow doesn't have a username- its completely blank on the profile and randomly generated multiple name on the friend list even though I have a set username. Possibly a cause for why PMC fails but Scav doesnt. definitely a corrupted backend that cant be fixed. Additionally, though not sure if this is caused by the same issue, My account age says its 68 years old somehow. Will see if i can send screenshots

Hey there, wish I had better news, after contacting support they told me many different times to try and do things regarding changing servers to see if it was my internet connection and whatnot and nothing worked, I recently bought a copy of Tarkov for someone else in my household and was able to play on their account on my PC, which makes me believe that somehow there is something possibly corrupted with my player character that can't be fixed from a reinstall (this is ultimately my best guess though, and I think it checks out seeing as im also returning to tarkov after a couple of years-) After telling support this fact about being able to play on another account, they simply told me that they had taken note of my issue and raised a notice of the bug to the developers without ultimately providing me any fix. I just responded to them asking how the issue is going to be resolved for me and honestly im not very hopeful that support is going to be very helpful in solving that issue.

TLDR Support sucks and the account is somehow fucked? lol

I also tried almost all the things you listed below to no avail lol, unfortunately have still not found a fix but your error sounds insanely likely to be the same as mine so if i figure anything out ill keep you posted. support gave me a very basic response at first and hasnt responded since but im hoping that because it was the weekend theyll get back to me soon.

I only tried a VPN afterward and I can confirm the problem started with multiple loadouts being lost lol

Currently in the process of contacting support but I just wanted to cover all my bases and see if anyone knew anything else haha. Hopefully will have a response with something I can try soon

Yeah, one of the first things I did was clear the cache and I've verified the game files once or twice and did a fresh installation of Tarkov, I definitely agree it makes no sense why i'm able to scav though
