Escape from Tarkov

What works

• New loading screens,
• launching pre-installed game,
• navigating login screen, including proper mouse input, sound and graphics.

What does not

Game crashes after the credential screen, even with the -silent-crashes either when the credentials were typed or the appropriate registry files are imported from the old installation registry. See this forum thread for more information.

Workarounds

64-bit game launcher can be installed, but will not launch under Wine nor mono (due to incompatibility of .NET Framework 4.5.2, see previous reports), so the game have to be downloaded under a virtual machine and copied to host system afterwards.

It is also possible to download the Client.0.4.0.586.zip file directly from game servers, but the link contain unique 8-4-4-4-12 UUID and have to obtained by tracking packets sent from the launcher in guest OS, for example using Wireshark.

What was not tested

• Anything past the initial game

Hardware tested

Graphics:

• GPU: Nvidia
• Driver: proprietary

Additional Comments

The issue with wrong mouse input experienced from previous tests is gone, but this version removed vulkan and dx9 renderes, leaving only Direct3D11 version to work with, so -force-d3d9 and -force-vulkan option won't launch the game in different modes anymore.
