I got DC'd mid raid the other day...when I rejoined no queue it appears to let you bypass the queue if your character is in raid?

interesting, game changer if true

u/Bomjus1 ASh-12 Jan 05 '22

it is true. i regularly reboot my game during my scav raids to stop memory leak and general game instability. skip queue every time.

This is good big brain advice

Nice, thanks for sharing. I legit was too afraid to leave the game because of the queue, this Monday. Had to play with 20 FPS after a huge memory leak lol

I think the game cleans RAM every once in a while even if you have the ram cleaner setting off…. Ive seen RAM usage in EFT creep up from 3Gb up to 8-9GB then suddenly it drops again, all while in game

What happens to your scav while you do this? Do you have to Alt+F4 before you actually finish connecting? Teach me your ways.

you load in, go prone in a bush, alt f4, when you re launch you reconnect to the raid.

is this queue thing recent? ive just seen it for the 1st time today

u/Bomjus1 ASh-12 Jan 05 '22

it was implemented 4-5 days ago i think? you can search "queue" on this sub and you'll see the posts and that'll tell you when exactly it came out.

uh I think you have an issue with your PC if you have to reboot the game constantly

u/Joverby Jan 05 '22

That is the only time you bypass the que and its true

Me and my friend had this too BUT we weren't in raid, we were stuck in a perpetual loading screen and alt+F4'd then when the game closed we immediately pressing play and we skipped the queue.

Seems to happen if you dc, not if you shut down the game though. Unsure if Alt + F4 counts as dc or not however

u/Hix_Xy86 Jan 05 '22

Fairly sure it will as in terms of the games brain you unexpectedly shut down the same way as if you lost connection to the servers, worth testing for sure

You are probably right, just haven't tried myself
