Twitch Streamer explains where the hit shooter Escape from Tarkov has a big problem

On By Garmin Philip

Jaryd “Summit1g” Lazar is a longtime shooter player and streamer on Twitch. For the past two weeks he has been showing the game Escape from Tarkov almost exclusively. Although he has a lot of fun with the hardcore shooter, he got upset in a livestream, especially via the official servers.

What’s happening at Escape from Tarkov right now?

  • Escape from Tarkov is currently the most popular game on Twitch. 45 million hours have been viewed there in the last 7 days. Only the Just Chatting category is more successful (via Sullygnome). The shooter even helped a rather unknown Australian suddenly become number 1 on Twitch.
  • The reason for its popularity is a wipe on December 12th and new Twitch drops that were introduced on December 28th. The shooter already experienced a big boost in popularity at the start of 2020 and 2021.
  • But this popularity also created problems. So recently there have been long queues in which 50,000 or even more players tend to queue.

Where does Summit1g see a big problem? For Summit1g, Escape from Tarkov’s official servers are a big problem. He himself experienced connection problems and then restarted his client. However, the streamer promptly stood in a queue with 28,000 other players.

As a result, the streamer was very negative about the official servers.

Streamer misses a list of priorities for players who were already online

What did Summit1g say about the servers? After restarting the client, the streamer immediately regretted his decision. After a loud sigh, he said, “I shouldn’t have done it. I really shouldn’t have done it. That was a really bad idea. “

But then Summit1g explained what bothers him:

Yo do you know what to do Tarkov? I play on a community server that is not run by admins, just a few guys who enjoy working on it and programming it. And they have something that when you get kicked out you get a privilege when you come back.

He is alluding to the role-playing game server NoPixel in GTA 5. This one is run by fans of the game and has exactly such a queue. The server enjoyed great popularity in early 2021 and is still used by many streamers now.

It continues from the streamer:

How can it be that no one over there thought about it, “Hey man, it really sucks that if our game disconnects someone, they have to wait in a 20,000 line queue. If you leave the game for about 5 minutes, maybe the account will get a priority queue? ” Maybe something like that.

In the end, it took the streamer around 8 minutes to get back online in Escape from Tarkov.

DrDisrespect also expresses criticism of the hardcore shooter

What does the doc say? In addition to Summit1g, the streamer DrDisrespect is also back in Tarkov fever.

He says he really enjoys the game, but he is bothered by the difficult start after every server wipe. In his opinion, Escape from Tarkov could even take over the gaming world.
