That being said, players have reported the Connection Lost Error even outside of maintenance times.
From what we can tell, the Connection Lost Error has something to do with the Escape from Tarkov servers, although what exactly is hard to say at the moment. Players seem to bump into it randomly and there’s no consistent pattern to attach to it. Furthermore, developer Battlestate Games hasn’t shared a fix for the Connection Lost Error.
We’ll keep you posted on any other Escape from Tarkov server maintenance schedules that might be coming up over the coming months, so please keep us bookmarked for the latest information.
