Update 0.14 Release and Issues
The developers of Battlestate Games recently released the new Update 0.14 for Escape From Tarkov, aiming to improve the game with new guns, a recoil system rework, and the introduction of features like vaulting. Additionally, the update includes a new map called Ground Zero, restricted to lower-level players, and a new boss named Kollontay, set to patrol the Streets of Tarkov map area.
However, the patch has encountered stability issues, preventing many players from downloading it or playing the game after installation.
