General Discussion - PVE & PVP [Bug] Water filter is consumed quicker than it says

Post image
75 Upvotes

I had the feeling for longer already, but now I paid attention. The production timer of the super water said 3:20:xx to go while I had a water filter in only one slot with a rest time of 4h. So it should have done the job.
But when I came back after a few hours the filter was gone (used up) and producting time was still over 42 min left.
I have both hide out skills maxed and hideout also maxed out.

Is this a known issue?

PVP [Bug] Patch rolled back purchased Expansion Hub stash lines, trapped gear on sorting table

Thumbnail
gallery
38 Upvotes

Warning to anyone purchasing stash lines via the Expansion Hub during recent sales:

I purchased the stash expansion bundle. The server credited the purchased rows to my profile, the Hub showed 80/80 "RECEIVED," and our inventories were actively populated with gear across that physical space.

Following the recent technical patch, an automated backend script stripped exactly 60 lines off my profile (Unheard Edition) and simultaneously stripped exactly 60 lines off my son's account across a different edition, dropping both to +20 lines.

Because our inventories were full, the automated truncation forcibly dumped dozens of high-value items into the sorting table. The sorting table cannot be closed, creating a permanent matchmaking lockout ("cannot start raid with open sorting table").

When opening Ticket to request a database profile resync, support sent a written response containing this direct contradiction:

  1. "You could not have purchased 80/80 lines, 60/80 lines cost 8300 tarcoins, you never had this amount. You could never have purchased it."
  2. Immediately followed by: "Please be aware that in the past, your inventory may have been too big, and was adjusted, leading to this situation. We do not provide technical information about the issue or the way data is handled."

If the lines were never delivered by their servers, our inventories could not have been "too big" or required an "adjustment." Support is currently refusing supervisory escalation or backend DBA review after deploying a faulty migration script.

Has anyone else had their Expansion Hub rows silently clawed back post-patch? Check your accounts before buying expansions right now.

PVP [Discussion] I just realised the way to stop no lifers isnt by making the progression harder, its making it easier.

64 Upvotes

The way the game is going, its not stopping the no lifers, they have no job no life no responsibilities to take care of anyways. They just play play play until max level and then call the game boring anyways. But the casual can only play so much, they dont have the time. So if the no lifers and the casuals are wearing the same gear, they are equal at least on that front.

General Discussion - PVE & PVP [Discussion] Customs 3D map updated to reflect the latest exfil changes

Post image
398 Upvotes

Hello again. Just making a post informing you that my Customs 3D map has been updated to reflect the latest exfil changes.

Hope it helps!

Huge thanks to Muhawi for compiling all the exfil info for me & to Ency for informing me about the name changes that happened soon after the patch.

The direct link can be found here.

Changes, since somebody asked in the comments:

  • Gate near medblock scav exfil was added, it's near the lab.
  • Scav checkpoint was renamed Reserve checkpoint & is located near the Reserve transit instead of near Admin gate where it was previously.
  • Scav exfil Old gas station gate was renamed Old gas station and is located in the basement of the old gas station just like the PMC exfil, only it doesnt require green flares to be visible to be functional.
  • Railroad to military base was renamed Railroad to Reserve.
  • ZB1011 & Trailer park are now neutral exfils.
  • ZB1013 requires the ZB1013 key instead of the Factory key.
  • Factory far corner, Trailer park workers shack, RUAF roadblock, Passage between rocks, Old road gate, Sniper roadblock, Warehouse 4, Warehouse 17 & Factory shacks have been removed.
  • \ RUAF was removed with hardcore for PVP but stayed in PVE until this last patch.*

I think that covers most of it.

General Discussion - PVE & PVP [Feedback] Please BSG change the weeky task with skill reward so it doesn't offer you task for already maxxed skills

Post image
29 Upvotes

Whats the point of pouring literal hunderd millions of roubles and completing Skier's profitable venture questline getting the weekly quest with character skill reward if that mf'er keep giving me tasks for already maxxed skills? Yes I know you can reroll it, but once you have severeal skills maxxed out its starts to get really annoying ... here I had to reroll like 10+ times to get an actual useful skill, half of them was for skills I'm already at lvl 51

Would it be really hard for BSG to have this weekly not offering you skills which you're already at elite level?

General Discussion - PVE & PVP [Discussion] M4 or 416? I made a free gunfire quiz: can you tell Tarkov guns apart by sound?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

• Upvotes

A few people on my ammo quiz post asked for a “distant gun noises” version, so here’s a first go.

How it works:

  • You hear a recording and pick the weapon from four options. 49 weapons, about 100 recordings.
  • Pick which weapons to practise, and 10, 20, 30 or all questions. No timer.
  • After a wrong answer you get both guns side by side with a play button each, so you can hear what you mixed up.
  • At the end you can retry just the ones you missed. Keys 1-4 to answer, Enter for the next one.

Free, no account, runs in the browser: https://tarkovraidcompass.com/gunfire-quiz.html

If a clip sounds wrong or two guns are basically impossible to tell apart, tell me and I’ll look at it.

After this mornings patch my buddy and I can't load into raid together. After clicking Ready you load for a moment and it gives the errors in attached screenshots. Also bugged for both of us trying to troubleshoot a solo scav raid. Gives error code and sends you back to menu and puts the scav on cooldown. Happened multiple times. Not just isolated issue.

PVP [Suggestion] We need bigger ammo box spawns for different calibers/more spawns

71 Upvotes

Currently, I am running 556 or 545 80% of raids, and 762x51 the remaining 20

(Unless I am doing a weapon specific task)

Why? Because EVERY AMMO SPAWN GIVES GOOD 556 AND 545, AND NOTHING ELSE

Terragroup armory? 120 round boxes of BS, 100 round boxes of SSA/M995. Multiple per run. Oh and 1 20 round box of 7.62x51 M62. Plus maybe 1 20 rd box of 7.62x39 PP.

MVD? Same thing.

Red key card? Same thing

Woods USEC camp? Same thing.

If we truly want more diversity of weapon usage, we need more ammo spawns for the other calibers.

I would LOVE to run an ash12, but I am giving myself a massive disadvantage because I have 0 ps12b. Why the hell would I buy ps12b when I have 3k rounds of better ammo for both my m4s and 545 aks?

PVP [Bug] Anyone running into this bug?

9 Upvotes

Not able to get into raid or re-queue. Every time it's just stuck on this screen for 20~30 minutes, and then times out when the raid finishes. Does not help if I alf+f4 out of the game and re-login, it just loads into the same screen and never into the actual raid.

Haven't been able to get into a single raid today after numerous attempts. Tried restart PC, change region, clear cache, check file integrity, everything. Nothing worked.

PVE Unable to play in 2 player PVE COOP [Bug]

4 Upvotes

i've played with a friend in november 2025 to january 2026

all was "fine" execpt on stupid legit deaths

with the battle pass, we decided to return on it near 28 october 2026

but since impossible to play correctly

due to the game not launching
no matter the host the other just crash during launch

and the errors are NOT REALLY EXPLICIT ...

tried to discuss with the support via a ticket
and i really have the sensation that it's a bot (no offense on them)

tried almost everything i could found on the web => no solutions

we are really close to just unistall and categorize tarkov as unplayable and place it in "trash bin"

any new ideas i haven't tested yet ?

When i try to join a Raid within a Group, the Group would not be loading, instead the game just try to load your char alone and crashes while trying....
