Troubleshooting

How to fix Escape from Tarkov not working

Escape from Tarkov is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:

Your browser tries to reach escapefromtarkov.com over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.

  1. Restart Launcher And Game

    Close Escape from Tarkov and the BSG Launcher from the system tray. Wait ten seconds, reopen the launcher, and start the game. If the launcher hangs on Updating, close it again and reopen once more.

  2. Flush DNS Cache

    Open Command Prompt as administrator, type ipconfig /flushdns, and press Enter. Restart the game after the command completes. This clears stale DNS entries that can block the launcher from reaching BSG servers.

  3. Disable VPN Or Proxy

    Turn off any VPN or proxy, then launch the game again. Some routes block or slow matchmaking traffic. Test on a normal home connection if possible.

  4. Temporarily Disable Antivirus Scanning

    Pause real-time scanning in your antivirus, then launch Escape from Tarkov. If the game starts, add the Tarkov install folder to the antivirus exclusions. Re-enable scanning right after testing.

While Escape from Tarkov is down: what to use instead

  • Official status page Check it before you reinstall the launcher or clear your cache, because Battlestate Games posts scheduled maintenance and known server trouble there.
  • Arena Breakout: Infinite Its gear insurance, ammo choices and extraction loop sit closer to Tarkov than any other shooter on PC, so it fills the gap well if you only have an evening.
  • Hunt: Showdown 1896 Crytek's bounty shooter keeps the risk of losing your loadout on death, with fewer menus to manage.
  • Gray Zone Warfare Pick this one if you prefer slow, deliberate PvE raids on a large open map, since it has PvE servers alongside the PvP ones.

About

What happens when Escape from Tarkov goes down

Escape from Tarkov is a hardcore extraction shooter on PC, and its players rely on the launcher, account login, and live servers to get into raids. An outage interrupts the whole chain: signing in, loading a profile, matching into a map, and getting raid results back.

Login and launcher problems usually show up first, with the client stuck on 'Failed to connect to server' or kicking you back to the login screen; if the profile service is down, menus may load with missing stash or trader data. Matchmaking can hang on 'Matching...' or drop a squad before the raid loads. The flea market and trader screens may fail while the rest of the game still responds, and insurance returns can lag or vanish after a raid. Problems are often regional or partial, so one server region or a single feature can break while other players keep playing.

Questions

Escape from Tarkov FAQ

Is Escape from Tarkov down right now?
The status at the top of this page shows whether user problem reports for the game are above their usual level, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. It reflects reports from players, not a live probe of the servers, so a quiet board can still hide trouble in one region. The official status page carries the developer's own notice, and the help centre handles account problems. To rule out your own side, load another site, restart the Battlestate Games launcher, then try a different network such as a phone hotspot.

Why does matchmaking sit on 'Matching...' for so long?
A long wait usually means the lobby is queued for a server slot or waiting on other players, and it gets worse on patch days or when a popular map is packed. Cancel the search and start it again, pick a quieter map, or change the region in the launcher. If the timer passes several minutes with no movement, close the game and check whether reports here have jumped; a broad spike points at the servers, while one stuck queue is usually your own session.

Why do I keep getting 'Connection lost' in the middle of a raid?
That message means the game dropped its link to the raid server, which is why your gear stays on the server and a quick reconnect can still save the run. A brief dropout on your line, a VPN, or a ping above the limit set in the launcher will all do it, so test on a wired connection and watch your ping before blaming the servers. If several raids fail the same way while reports here climb, the fault is likely on their end.

The launcher hangs on 'Checking for updates' or a patch fails to install. Is that the servers?
Patch days hammer the download servers, and a stuck update is often a slow queue rather than a full outage. Check free space on the drive that holds the game, pause any antivirus scan, and restart the launcher as administrator before you retry; a VPN can also stall the download. If reports here spike while your update crawls along, wait it out instead of reinstalling the whole game.

I paid for the game but the launcher says I don't own it. What now?
Payment confirmation can lag behind the launcher, so sign out and back in and give the purchase a little time to appear on the account. Check the purchase history where you bought it, and confirm you are logged into the same account you paid with, because a second account is a common cause. If nothing shows after that, take the order details to the help centre.

How we track Escape from Tarkov

The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for Escape from Tarkov, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for Escape from Tarkov, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.

When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. This is separate from Escape from Tarkov's official status page: user reports tend to show a problem early, while the official page confirms the cause. If the two disagree, check both.
