While many are celebrating the holiday season, others are sounding the alarm as antivirus programs have begun flagging the game as a potential threat.
The developers of Escape from Tarkov decided to treat their community to a festive surprise, unveiling a New Year-themed video featuring cozy, atmospheric Lo-Fi vibes by a campfire.
However, the mood in the comments section isn’t entirely festive. Several members of the Escape from Tarkov community are reporting “virus” alerts, as security software has started reacting to the game client following recent technical server maintenance.
To resolve these false positives, fellow players recommend clearing the game’s cache and deleting log files directly through the official launcher.
