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

If youve been struggling with Escape from Tarkov- related memory leak issues, 
developer Battlestate Games has some promising news for you. Tarkov s latest 
patch, 0.13.5.1, is being rolled out today (September 7), and amongst a 
plethora of other fixes, it promises that it will amend known causes of 
memory leaks. 

In case you were unfamiliar, in simple terms, a memory leak is what happens 
when software doesnt manage your PCs RAM correctly, even if you have enough 
of it. This leads to poor performance. Needless to say, a memory leak is 
nothing but bad news, particularly if youre playing a game like Escape from 
Tarkov where you want your PC to be running as smoothly as possible. So, if 
the new patchs fix is successful, then this update could have positive 
ramifications for the entire Escape from Tarkov player base. 

Excitingly, the patch notes also reveal the addition of new quests and 
expanded existing quest lines, although its not been outlined exactly what 
these are. 

Beyond that, an enormous amount of other problems have been quashed, with 
fixes for the environment and sound on the Streets of Tarkov map, overlapping 
pictures appearing while loading into raids, and medication wearing off 
before its timer, amongst many other things. If you want to check out the 
full list, you can find the complete patch notes here. 

Over on Twitter, it was confirmed that installation of the patch began at 3am 
ET, with downtime expected to last for around four hours (although 
potentially longer if required). At the time of writing, the game is still 
updating, but if that four-hour estimate is correct, then players probably 
dont have much longer to wait before they can dive in again.
