The developers of Escape from Tarkov from Battlestate Games have improved the player selection system. Nikita Buyanov, the head of the studio, said that it would be possible to get into the raids much faster now.

The long selection of players was one of Tarkov's main problems. Recently, the developers conducted a survey in which they asked gamers to tell them how they feel about this gaming aspect. Many replied that it had really become easier to get into the raid lately.

At the same time, previously, due to high traffic and other problems, players could wait up to 10 minutes for the opportunity to go on a raid.

"Maybe you noticed, we are doing some changes to matching, reducing matching times. There will be more changes to that to reduce it more".
— Nikita Buyanov

Recall that in February, Battlestate Games presented a development plan for Escape from Tarkov. Players have been promised two major patches, as well as more new content, which is scheduled for the second half of the year.

Have you noticed a problem with the long wait for a raid?
