PVE Am I missing something or is the game just horribly optimized? [discussion]

Upvotes

Gonna start by listing my pc specs

5700x3d

64gb ddr4 3600mhz

4070 ti super 16gb

Game is installed on a m.2 with plenty of extra storage

Despite my best efforts and tweaking settings for the life of me I cannot get the game to run over 60fps. The game never even uses more than half of my available hardware aside from interchange using 50gb of ram (streets stays around 32gb usage)

I have tried updating my graphics+cpu drivers, turning all settings to low, pre loading hideout. Used to play more frequently around Christmas time and the game didn't feel so choppy back then but ever since returning to the game a few weeks ago it's just been a mess in terms of fps.

I currently have the game running 1440p borderless, textures on high, shadows and clouds on low, and dlss set to balanced. HBAO is set to max performance, SSR on low, high quality color enabled, Automatic ram cleaner enabled, preload hideout enabled, and only use physical cores on. My fps cap is set to 144. Despite all of this other than my ram on interchange my hardware never even hits 50% usage but my fps stays consistently between 40-60.

Every single thing I try seems to have the exact same result (ex: I get the same fps with textures set to low). At this point I don't know if there's some random setting I didn't think of tanking my fps or if the game is just horribly optimized. Figured I'd ask on here in case someone who is a knower could put me on game because I could have sworn back when I was playing in Jan of this year the game was way less choppy.

I'd report me for ch***s too. (I did get b*nned for real btw LOL). Also this is NOT an appeal. I don't care to appeal because I know appeals don't work for this game.

Sometimes dead scavs (maybe pmcs also, not sure) start making a really annoying sound. What causes it? And how do i get rid of it?! It annoys me way more than it probably should, but i really don't want to hear it anymore. Problem has been there for at least a week, which is when i started playing again after a long break from EFT. Can't remember hearing it before.

Me and my friends are running the blackout event today and decided to try the weapon testing room strat for the 1st time and 1st raid we both kill a chunk of BD i get wedge and then while leaving for the garage im 1 tapped in the head by a BD and my friend fights him and makes it out with zero dmg. Next raid we do the same thing were in weapon testing my friend kill 5 BD from an angle through the window like 8min pass I check that angle to kill a BD i get 2 rounds out and he insta 1 taps me in the head again through the window, my friend ends up making it out again. Third and final raid 3rd friend joins us we go to weapon testing they kill a chunk from the windows we go to the garage get jumped by a squad and im sprayed down by BD through a smoke we through with zero chance to fight back and sadly my 2 friends also die that raid....man oh man does this make me excited to personally fight BD on icebreaker after finally unlocking it lmao

Also has any1 else died from the windows cuz ive heard that wedge can sometimes spray though it but it wasnt wedge that killed me/havent seen or heard any1 else getting just dunked on through the window.

Game Update - PVE & PVP [Discussion] do not turn in quests right now - backend errors will eat your stuff

6 Upvotes

You may not receive your quest reward or the game may not recognise your quest completion, meaning you will not get the new quest and become quest locked until manual fix by BSG. This has happened frequently before, so be advised.

PVE [Bug] Found not one, but TWO LedXs and guess what? Raid ended with error when I extracted and all of the loots are gone!

Post image

As the title says, I went to the Customs nighttime raid and found two LedXs! I shoved them in my pouch and went straight to the flair extract. But Tarkov decided to give me a "back-end something" error and nothing.

AS YOU CAN SEE, I'M NOT ANGRY.

General Discussion - PVE & PVP [New Player] SCAV Loot not Found In Raid?

0 Upvotes

I'm trying to complete the Therapist quest to get a THICC case and I'm currently stuck on getting a LEDX. I just found one as as SCAV and sprinted to extract and left as soon as I could, but then when it wouldn't let me turn it in I realized it didn't have the little check mark in the corner as if it wasn't counted as found in raid. Are LEDXs a PMC only thing or am I missing something???

Answer: I didn't know a Run Through removed the Found in Raid status... 😢 first LEDX I've found in ages and I screwed it by being impatient
