Escape From Tarkov January 31 Update: Bug Fixes And Optimizations

Escape from Tarkov Battlestate Games

Escape From Tarkov is a first-person role-playing game with MMO features. The game just received its January 31 Update that fixed several bugs.

Bug Fixes

Since the game is massively focused on multiplayer, certain issues can be more annoying than others. There was a bug where the grenade explosion sound is incorrect when players throw one from indoors to outdoors. Due to this, players were unable to determine where exactly the explosion came from.

Animation Issues

Certain weapons had issues where the trigger actions would not work as intended. The Colt M1911 and Colt M45A1 were two such weapons that had this issue. Luckily, the developers were able to fix it and players should no longer experience the problem in the latest update.
