discovering "critical issues and bugs."

FULL STORY
======================================================================

Battlestate Games has confirmed that its rolling back Escape from Tarkov s 
latest patch after critical issues and bugs were discovered. 

In case you missed it, Escape from Tarkov patch 0.14.1.0 was released 
yesterday (February 12). Although it promised a lengthy list of changes and 
adjustments , it was heavily criticized by players for its alterations to 
weapon recoil (specifically for pistols, shotguns, and the SKS carbine), as 
well as the announcement that certain in-game purchases are on the way. On 
top of that, since the update, players have reported significant performance 
issues, as well as the fact that Scav players are suddenly facing infinite 
timers on most maps, stopping them from being able to play. 

Needless to say, this hasnt gone unnoticed by developer Battlestate Games. 
Over on the official Escape from Tarkov Twitter / X account, the developer 
confirmed that the patch will be rolled back at 9am ET / 6am PT / 2pm GMT / 
11pm AEDT, in a process thats expected to take around two hours (although it 
could be longer). The game will be inaccessible during this period, and 
although the contents of the update itself will be reverted, players have 
been reassured that their progress wont be rolled back. 

After the patch installation, critical issues and bugs were discovered, 
leading us to this decision, Battlestate Games explained. The content of 
patch 0.14.1.0 will be released in future updates after adjustments with 
consideration of community feedback. 

Rolling back an update like this is a very rare occurrence for Escape from 
Tarkov , but based on the reactions from players yesterday when the changes 
were implemented, it seems its likely for the best. Right now, its not clear 
what alterations will be made to the content going forward.
