How to monitor Escape from Tarkov server status, ping, and match time

Russian shooter game Escape From Tarkov gaining popularity

The Russian first-person shooter game Escape From Tarkov is gaining popularity among players after the implementation of Twitch drops and a new update at the end of 2019.

Due to its sudden surge in popularity, the game experienced server issues. However, Battlestate Games took quick action to ensure the game remains playable, although occasional issues may still occur.

It can be frustrating when a player is unable to connect to the game or experiences disconnections during gameplay. However, it can be difficult to determine whether the issue is with the player’s equipment or the game servers.

To check the status of the game’s servers, including availability, ping, and matching time, players can directly access this information through the Escape from Tarkov game client. Simply open the Battlestate Games Launcher, click on the “Change Server” button at the bottom right, and you’ll have access to server information.

Even when the player’s usual server is offline, they can choose another server closest to their location to continue playing, although it may result in a higher ping. The addition of new servers has helped accommodate the increase in player base and improve gameplay experience.
