Developers Battlestate Games have completed its wipe plans for today and the new 12.11 Escape from Tarkov patch is now available to download and install.

They have also warned that there could be a few hours of bumpy server performance as fans pile back into the game.

Battlestate posted on Twitter earlier today: “We are aware that due to high server load some players may experience different issues.

“We are working to resolve this situation as fast as we can. Thank you for your patience and understanding.”

Battlestate has also confirmed that they haven’t released the full Escape from Tarkov patch notes yet for PC gamers to look through.

This is so fans can explore the game and share their own finds on Reddit and social media.

This has led to a lot of speculation about what big EFT map changes have been made and what the full Escape from Tarkov patch notes will contain.

So far, fans have spotted some interesting changes, including the Flea Market now requiring Level 20 to access it.

There is also a new loyalty level for fence, changes to the home screen and weapon malfunctioning features now in-game.

But we won’t know about everything until Battlestate Games share the full list of patch notes for Escape from Tarkov 12.11.

The latest on the release from the development team reads: “We want to give you some time to discover the new features of the patch. We will post a full list of new features and changes later.”

So there is currently no word on when the full patch notes will be shared but we will update this article as soon as they are live.

While we don’t have a full changelog to deep dive through, we do have access to all the bug fixes.

These have been released and note all the major problems that have been fixed with the launch of today’s EFT patch.

Please note that this list does not include changes and new additions introduced in this patch. A full description of the patch will be published later.
