Another Issue Crops Up :
With the onset of the new patch, the subreddit saw another problem with a hideout being reported. The place where you keep your items, money and everything you own is inaccessible, then it makes for a frustrating experience. Redditor vsemohouci reported that he cannot take anything from his stash, posting a photo on the subreddit. Battlestate support saw the post and was efficient with their reply.
BSG_Alexey Battlestate support says “This is not intended, we will fix it, so it will be as it was as soon as possible.
We aim for today, thanks.”
The Battlestate games also alleviated the player’s anger with a twitter post saying they have fixed the issue with a technical update.
We've installed a technical update of the client with a fix for the issue with sounds of sidestep and inability to use items from containers in crafting. Everyone needs to download the update through the launcher#EscapefromTarkov
