The developer of one of the most realistic tactical shooter games with undoubtedly the best gunsmith feature estimated a brand new 0.12.8.1 hotfix. Even though the cause for the hotfix is unknown, it is assumed to be due to problems caused by the previous 0.12.8 update. The hotfix is estimated to have a 1.5-hour long maintenance session, with a complete inability to play during that period.
Escape From Tarkov’s 0.12.8.1 hotfix will be installed on Saturday, October 24. The maintenance will start at 12:00 Moscow Time. This was announced via Escape From Tarkov’s official Twitter Profile, noting that the list of changes will be published tomorrow, at the start of the installation.
Tomorrow at 12:00 Moscow time we plan to install a 0.12.8.1 hotfix. It will take about an 1,5 hour – the game will be stopped at this time. The list of changes will be published at the beginning of the installation #EscapefromTarkov
