At the critical moment when the game was about to usher in the official version 1.0, "Escape from Tarkov" fell into a whirlpool of public opinion due to a serious progress rollback accident.Developer Battlestate Games suddenly faced a crisis of player trust ahead of its release on November 15.

In early November, many players, including the well-known anchor Axel_TV, found that their game progress had been rolled back to the state three months ago for no reason, without receiving any official warning.Axel_TV stated on social media that its character levels, equipment and mission progress have all returned to the early stages.

Although the development team quickly implemented a fix after the problem was exposed, feedback from forums such as Reddit shows that this data rollback is not an isolated phenomenon.Although not all players were affected, the unpredictability of the affected areas contributed to community unease.
The statement released by Battlestate Games was the "simplest in history" - it only confirmed that it was aware of the problem, and neither explained the cause of the failure nor announced a specific solution.He later claimed in another tweet that the problem had been "solved," but the vague statement only raised more questions.


During the sensitive period when version 1.0 is about to go online, this incident exposed the game's hidden dangers in data stability.What is even more concerning is that if the number of players surges after the official release, any server problems will be dramatically amplified.
