Since the release of the Unheard edition of Escape From Tarkov and then the release of the PvE component to the EoD version, the servers have been struggling, which resulted in a lot of frustration on social media. For that very reason, the developer behind the tactical shooter has previously stated that it’s working on a Single-Player offline edition, which should allow raids for solo players not to be tied to an online server but instead run in a local environment.
Well, today’s update allows players to dive into the PvE edition without the necessity of joining a server. This allows them to enjoy and complete the story missions and keep them open forever. The developer said the game shouldn’t differ, as it is identical to how online play works.
However, players will be forcefully connected to servers for group raids, such as Scav and Streets of Tarkov raids. As per the revealed information, the installation will take approximately 6 hours, but may be extended if required. The game and profile page on the website will not be accessible during this period.
There are tons of other mechanics and feauters that are being touched, and the full list of changes can be found below:Escape From Tarkov 0.14.9.5 Patch NotesList of changes:
For all players with access to PVE ZONE, raids for solo players will be run on the local PC. The game experience, as well as the operation of in-game mechanics, is completely identical to online play.
For group raids, raids as a Scav, and raids on Streets of Tarkov, the game will utilize the servers.
