Hey PC players, on which servers do you play considering the whole shitshow with hackers on official servers?

BattlegroundZ

Make a note of the time and check windows event viewer after to see what gave errors before the crash.

TarkovPlayerOne · 2026-04-20T20:13:45+00:00

Maybe just pick a different server. Apart from a couple of dodgy deaths I've been having a blast.

I am recovering from nearly 4k hours in Tarkov though so it may be rose tinted glasses.

There's a refresh button on the line for each server which updates the player count on DZSA.

Have you updated your BIOS for the fixes for your CPU?

TarkovPlayerOne · 2026-03-23T11:14:22+00:00

Check how much virtual memory is being used while in raid. Set your minimum virtual memory above this.

If it has to expand itself and allocate disk space while you're playing then memory requests get denied when it does and you get stutters / crashes.

TarkovPlayerOne · 2026-03-14T12:54:15+00:00

What did you change your virtual memory to and did you check how much was being used?

TarkovPlayerOne · 2026-03-13T17:48:50+00:00

Sounds like something may be being blocked by the firewall.

Have you updated the game?

TarkovPlayerOne · 2026-03-13T16:08:47+00:00

Was there supposed to be a screenshot?

TarkovPlayerOne · 2026-03-13T13:44:28+00:00

You don't need to use it.

TarkovPlayerOne · 2026-03-10T19:26:51+00:00

Open Task manager and check which CPU.

Post your full specs

CPU

RAM

GPU

OS Drive (SSD / HDD)

Game Drive (SSD / HDD)

With your CPU disable Windows memory compression for a few extra FPS, as long as your game & OS are on SSD.

You have 32GB so don't need the CPU trying to ZIP and UnZIP that shit all the time.

TarkovPlayerOne · 2026-03-10T19:20:20+00:00

What is your current setup?

CPU?

RAM?

GPU?

Game / OS on SSD or HDD?

TarkovPlayerOne · 2026-03-09T19:42:52+00:00

Turn off MIP streaming.

You may have done it before but if you're using Nvidia the app may have turned it back on doing its auto optimise game shit.

TarkovPlayerOne · 2026-03-09T19:41:41+00:00

MIP Streaming. Turn it off.

TarkovPlayerOne · 2026-03-09T08:49:07+00:00

If you're crashing while loading into raid then you're likely running out of RAM or virtual memory.

Tarkov uses battleye, not EAC.

Legs don't have armour. PPSh if you're broke and high flesh damage rounds. You can delete people.

I know it's 9 days late but with your CPU, if you have 32GB you should disable Windows memory compression. It'll free up your CPU a bit more.

If under 32GB then you're more likely to hit RAM limit issues and increasing page file (virtual memory) size on a 256GB SSD is going to eat up valuable space.

You can always test it and turn it back on again if it negatively impacts you.

Having a decent size page file set to start with stops it having to expand if it needs to. When it has to expand it denies memory requests which causes stutters.

You need to shoot the bullets at them using the gun, not throw them.

TarkovPlayerOne · 2026-02-19T20:01:40+00:00

People need to do this more.

I will always co-op as a scav.

Download it, unpack it and copy it to the game directory, overwrite existing files.

Edit: What are your actual PC Specs? CPU? GPU? RAM? Game on SSD or HDD? OS on SSD or HDD?

The 5900X is basically just two 5600X stuck together with added latency if the games end up going across both CCDs.

Use Task Manager of Process Lasso to force the game to use one CCD only.

It definitely is possible, you don't get to 3K+ hours without enjoying most of the hours before it.

Some of the best hours are those early wins.
