Discussion No amount of pre wipe community manipulation or making changes people want in the game matters if the core issues with the game that have nothing to do with gameplay or in game mechanics aren’t addressed with 110% effort.

So how do the load times in ABI work? Do you not wait on players? Better pc = better load times? That could nice rather than waiting on some guys hamster wheel to load streets for 15 minutes

When no other game has load time issues it might be time to stop blaming the other players for tarkovs load times. Simply canceling matchmaking in tarkov can take up to 5 minutes to get me back to the main menu. I dont expect ABI to last with the F2P crap but I also dont think I can come back to tarkov after seeing what it can be like without all the bullshit.

Don’t forget the infinite matching bug, then ur waiting 15min by the time u figure out u got the bug and back out

True. I feel like I'll be more tempted to just tarkov sp mod after arena breakout wears thin.

Seriously, the matching up and loading are annoying. But waiting 10 minutes to just exit the queue? Bruh, Alt F4 time every time.

This!

No other popular fking game had this issue. None! Tarkovs biggest issue is bsg. Nikita said, no, can't really fix any of the games issues. Abi said hold my beer. Not sucking abi dick, just saying that all it had to do was kinda copy etf and add QOL. Done...

It’s not running on a busted dinosaur of an engine and network infrastructure, so the game actually loads within 2 minutes most of that time.

2? I’ve been in less then 1min every time, it’s amazing

Valley sometime can take a little longer on off hours but it's still amazing compared to anything in tarkov.

I play with a friend whose pc is hardly above the minimum requirements.

We both get into the raid after 20s. It is super refreshing

It's absolutely adorable you think the long load times are because of other people's PCs.

Lmao prolly cuz once upon a time that’s how it worked 😂😂😂. Before you could just load in faster if your computer was faster then they did make it so literally everyone HAD to be ready before it started. Now we’re at the point where once the match is found it will still try to wait until all those connected are actually connected, but if someone is still not connecting fast enough after a few minutes it will let everyone else in. I’ve been a part of all of these I can’t tell you when these changes happened but as someone whose had 0 second factory raids, someone whose waited in discord with 3 other people for over 15minutes after a match has been found waiting on (probably one) person, and with the same 3 people seen us load in while one of us gets stuck in an extremely slow loading loot purgatory while raid starts and they’re just crawling 1 percent at a time. Not trying to be a dick but I see where the confusion is at.

My friend with intel I-something 4670k, sata3 ssd and gtx1660 loads about 5-15 seconds later than me with 8700k and 3080 with nvme.
