Unfortunately, some players seem to be citing issues with the game at the moment. According to Battlestate, these issues are being caused by high server load. It's unclear just how prominent the issue might be at this time, but those struggling to get into the game should know that the developer is aware of the situation and currently working on a fix.

The new update came with a server wipe, taking all players back to level 1. The new update has also changed the required level to buy and sell items from the FLEA Market. The game previously required players to be at level 10 to do so, but the new update has changed the requirement to level 20. This has caused a significant amount of controversy online, as many players have stated that they don't have the time needed to level 20 in order to do just that. Not everyone is unhappy with the change however, and it will be interesting to see whether or not opinions change over time.

Escape from Tarkov is available now on PC. You can check out our previous coverage of the game right here.
