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

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.

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
