Escape From Tarkov Malfunction Results in Loads of Lost Player Data

No, it's not an early Tarkov wipe—it's a big technical issue that's impacted the game's database.

Battlestate Games, the developer of first-person shooter Escape from Tarkov, has announced that a technical malfunction resulted in the deletion of player data on a "significant" number of accounts. The issue was caused by a "sequence of unfortunate events" that led to the game's database being corrupted.

The developer is currently working on restoring the lost data, but it's unclear how long this process will take. In the meantime, players are being advised to back up their game files and avoid playing on the affected servers.

This is a major blow to the Escape from Tarkov community, as many players have lost significant progress and items due to this issue. It's unclear what caused the malfunction, but Battlestate Games has promised to investigate the issue and take steps to prevent it from happening again.

In the meantime, players are encouraged to be patient and understanding as the developer works to resolve the issue. It's important to remember that this is a game, and while losing progress can be frustrating, it's not the end of the world. The developer is committed to restoring the lost data and making things right for its players.
