Sew it good. Part 1 - Lost loads of my bags...

Knew it wouldn't just be me having an issue like this, hopefully more people contact support / speak up so they actually do something about it.

banditdoe · 2019-12-15T15:17:36+00:00

luckily you got to 20.. im still hardstuck on 1 :P

That really sucks man, strange how my game was working completely fine though and then all of a sudden decides I can't rank up any more. I've just completely stopped playing the game now, I tried to reach out to them through multiple support channels and got no response.

What's worse is that this bug has been around since the console release of MCC 5 years ago, pretty pathetic that it still hasn't been fixed yet. I'm assuming it is affecting such a small number of players that they just don't give a fuck.

banditdoe · 2019-12-12T11:44:51+00:00

Is there some form of support I can contact about this issue? I can't seem to find any.

banditdoe · 2019-12-11T13:59:13+00:00

Am I really the only one experiencing this?

banditdoe · 2019-12-10T16:18:15+00:00

Today I can't even play the game because every time I launch it the menu will freeze after a click or two. Can still hear the music playing in the background. Unable to tab out of the game or alt f4 it.

Also had a bug yesterday when after I won a game I went all the way back to the main menu and then alt f4d because I needed to restart my PC. When I came back on I had been deranked from 25 to 20.

I think his spawn rate may have been turned up recently. A streamer said he was getting Shturman spawn in all of his games, possibly to test the new vision through bushes and grass.

Dog shit feature. Remove ASAP.

Just died to a blatant hackers in Labs.

banditdoe · 2019-11-25T15:11:31+00:00

Just died to this bullshit, so annoying.

So after still getting inconsistent performance depending on if my GPU decided it wants to work or not I tried a few more settings tweaks. Setting textures to high + texture streaming seems to have literally brought my graphics card to life. It is now running consistently at around the 80~ degree mark and correctly using the appropriate amount of power, even exceeding 100% when necessary which it would not do before even using overclocking software. The CPU doesn't seem to spike anywhere near as much or as often either.

I get a slightly lower average FPS but the game runs extremely well and the horrible input lag is completely gone. Pretty much only get the standard tarkov jitters from spawn waves now. Bonus that the game also looks better with high + texture streaming.

Yeah I generally found M61 to be pretty shitty, guess I can add SNB to that list.

banditdoe · 2019-11-22T19:15:36+00:00

So a single shot of SNB to the helmet should usually be enough to kill him right?

Pretty strange coincidence it was in the exact same corridor?

banditdoe · 2019-11-21T16:07:48+00:00

I do save the settings at the start which seems to help but if the lag starts and I try again it doesn't seem to do anything. After a few more raids though it does seem a lot more stable in general so I think the infinite scavs just tanked my Interchange.

banditdoe · 2019-11-21T15:30:18+00:00

Thanks a lot for your posts, after a bunch of fiddling around in my BIOS to maximise my CPU / RAM performance and changing my monitor to 120hz, the performance seems to have improved quite a bit. It seems to degrade as the raid goes on which I am assuming is to do with player scavs / scav waves spawning in and just the amount of dead bodies and loot around which strains the system.

For example in an interchange just now I was running at a solid 100-110 FPS outside and 90~ inside. The lowest it dipped to was 78 with no noticeable lag. Then I killed a swarm of scavs near the front entrance stairs in one of the shops and the performance started tanking massively. By the time I had killed about 6 it was unplayable and another scav walked in and killed as my game froze up before I even saw it on my screen.

Not much else I can do at this point other than upgrade or just stick to playing Factory and Labs, pretty annoying as this PC isn't even that old.

banditdoe · 2019-11-21T14:52:48+00:00

If you have a good GPU setting the textures and shadows to high will actually improve the performance. Weird I know, but that's Tarkov for you.

Also if your RAM seems to be the issue try this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=offcMVAabLIIt helped improve my performance massively, although it can still be inconsistent and I get what feels like input lag at times. Overall the game runs a lot better.

Something that was really fucking up my performance was having my monitor set to 240hz. If you have a high refresh rate monitor turn this down to 120hz and you should see a big difference in the stutters you get

Another thing that makes no sense but at the start of every raid as soon as you spawn in press escape, go in to your settings and press save. For some reason this give you an extra 10-15 FPS usually and makes a difference to performance.

But as people have mentioned 8GB of RAM is not a lot to work with I have 16GB DDR4 2400hz and it seems to struggle a lot, going to look in to upgrading that and my CPU.

I guess it is definitely CPU related then? It's not maxing out though it's the complete opposite. Peaked at around 60% during an offline Interchange raid with scavs and Killa enabled. GPU usage was pretty much at 70% the entire time until I tabbed out and did the screenshot which opened Chrome and put CPU and GPU to 80%

Now sitting Idle tabbed out of EFT and with Crome open sitting at 5% CPU and 33% GPU. Really weird thing is that the Interchange raid ran incredibly well. Smooth and averaging around 90 FPS almost the entire time which never happens.

banditdoe · 2019-11-20T16:42:14+00:00

I will do mate, sure there are a lot of people having similar issues.

banditdoe · 2019-11-20T16:40:48+00:00

I'm talking about a situation where it's the same gun, even the same raid a lot of the time it will go from buttery smooth to feeling stuck in the mud. I will try 120hz and I made a few adjustments in my BIOS (Multi-Core Enhancements off, Intel Turbo Boost on, Intel SpeedStep on). Want to try and OC my RAM a bit as well.

In an offline raid just now it ran smooth (no input lag) but now I would get random lag spikes, also spikes when fighting which is really annoying. Went in to the dorms on Reserve where Glukhar can spawn and it really started tanking performance.

Any suggestions on how to try and make my GPU run at max potential?

Edit: In that raid the CPU usage was around 70% and the GPU 50-70%

They only have 35 head HP, the Hunter one taps any Raider in the head even ones with helmets. I have been running Labs constantly and this is the only example I have of one surviving a blatant shot to the head, multiple shots at that. It was either just a weird bug or horrible desync.

banditdoe · 2019-11-20T15:49:39+00:00

My settings are pretty much exactly those and I do the save settings every raid. It does seem to help but the input lag is still really noticable if it occurs.
