Escape From Tarkov Gets a Post-Release Patch Focusing on Fixing Trader Quest Bugs, and Visual Issues

Escape From Tarkov, which recently celebrated its 1.0 release has updated the game today with a fresh patch adjusting many bugs. Let's see what changed!

Quote From Battlestate Games

Fixed an issue where an extra step animation played after sprinting;
Fixed the character’s hands freezing after interacting with a weapon or using consumables and medical items in certain cases;
Fixed the visual artifacts that appeared in interactive trader scenes and in the Hideout when using x2 resampling;
Fixed the missing trader dialogue voice lines after skipping a line;
Fixed several errors that occurred when interacting with traders and could block progression in certain cases;
Fixed the cause of error 710 that appeared during certain story tasks;
Fixed an issue that allowed loading into the Hideout while searching for a raid;
Fixed the artifacts that appeared when using the CyberTark main menu background;
Fixed an issue that caused Kaban’s weapons to float in the air;
Fixed an issue where a bot’s body disappeared if they died while healing in PvE mode;
Fixed several geometry issues on Interchange;
Fixed the issues with BTR interaction and sending items to the stash in certain cases;

Fixed the incorrect volume levels for some ambient sounds on Customs;
Fixed the functionality of the Z-Blur option in the graphics settings;
Fixed the incorrect parameters for 7.62x51 ammo;
Fixed several incorrect player spawn points on Lighthouse.

There are lots of visual updates in today's patch which aren't gameplay breaking, but a few notable changes here on that side are Z-Blur in the graphics options actually working now, and you won't see extra step animations after a character concludes sprinting, which is a very common animation. Outside of visual updates though, if you had your progression in the story blocked, "several errors" have been fixed with regards to trader interactions so you may be able to continue once more.

Nothing in Escape From Tarkov is more frustrating than having your progression blocked by bugs, so this is a huge update and it's about time fixes have arrived. We also see another story-related error solved, "error 710", which some players have commented that clearing their cache and validating game files fixed it for them, but it was not a universal fix. We hope that everyone who had issues is now able to go in and continue their questing.

Now, when will we get a fix for those pesky traders not wanting to buy your wares when you place stuff into the sell interface before clicking into it? Escape From Tarkov's 1.0.0.2 patch is live now and can be downloaded from the Battlestate Games launcher.
