18.02.25 - New Technical Update Installed

Battlestate Games has released a new technical update for Escape from Tarkov.

Here are the patch notes:

• Fixed the cause of error 1501 "already add max offer count" when interacting with the Flea Market.

• Fixed the cause of error 228 when moving items in stash after upgrading the game edition in certain cases.

• Fixed the inability to fully repair ballistic plates when using a repair kit.

• Fixed the inability to claim items transferred after gaining Prestige if they were pinned/locked in stash before transferring.

  
  

It's encouraging to see BSG addressing these specific issues that have been affecting players. However, one can't help but notice the conspicuous absence of any updates regarding DLSS 4 and the implementation of the correct preset.

In the 14.2.25 update, BSG introduced DLSS 4 support but, in a classic twist, opted for the outdated preset D, which utilizes the older CNN model, instead of the more advanced preset K based on the Transformer model. This choice has left many players scratching their heads, as preset K offers superior performance and visual quality. The community has been vocal about this oversight, yet it seems this latest patch doesn't address the issue.

As explained in a previous article, for those eager to experience the benefits of preset K, some resourceful players have found workarounds to force the game to use the latest DLSS DLL and preset K. However, an official fix from BSG would be the ideal solution to ensure all players can easily access the improved performance and visuals.
