Escape from Tarkov players are currently experiencing bad gateway errors. Due to these errors, players cannot connect to the game’s servers. The cause of the errors is likely server overload.
Players have taken to the game’s subreddit to report the issue. One user wrote, “Backend error. Is it just me? I keep getting this every time I try to buy or sell anything.” Another user asked, “Bad Gateway Error? Anyone else experiencing this?”
Many players are upset because this error often happens during peak gaming hours, making it difficult to play.
Players are unable to connect to the game and are encountering “Backend error: HTTP/1.1 502 Bad Gateway”. So, the issue lies with the game’s servers and not the players’ individual connections.
Some players have tried to log in multiple times or use a different internet connection, but these solutions don’t work for everyone.
In response to the ongoing Bad Gateway issues, the official Escape from Tarkov Twitter account posted an update:
We are temporarily disabling the synchronization of task progression between #EscapefromTarkov and #TarkovArena.
Already active tasks will be available for progression, but will not be available for completion.
We are actively working on fixing the known issues that cause…
