On this episode of the Pogcast we break down the newest Escape From Tarkov patch. While this patch did add some awesome quality of life improvements, it also added some new quests and balancing changes that are leaving us scratching our heads. Balancing Tarkov is an incredibly hard task, but constantly cherry picking one or two items to move around will always result in a chain of unwanted events. We also spend some time talking about Starfield and how it didn't live up the standard set by other recent games and even Bethesda's own older games. Check it out!

On this episode of the Pogcast we break down the new Tarkov Patch 13.1. This is something we have been waiting for for a long time. BSG have completely restructured the netcode with the hope of reducing desync and making hitreg feel better. We were surprised to see that Unity 2021 was not included in this patch which means the FPs improvements we were waiting for are not yet here. It has definitely been a interesting week in Escape From Tarkov. Check it out!

Some of those issues are extremely complex, but there are still so many that seem to have simple solutions. The community has had a largely positive reaction to the recent changes, but the positivity can only last so long when so much of the game is not optimized and new bugs like the recent invisible player bug appear.
