last updated 02.10.2025
IMPORTANT !!!!!!!!!!! CHECK FOR THE RAM SPEED AND MAKE SURE YOUR RAM’s ARE WORKING AT MAX SPEED (ACTIVATE XMP)
Step 1. DPI compatibility
Go to default folder where the game is installed / C: > Battlestate Games > EFT
– right click on “EscapeFromTarkov.exe”
– click “Properties”
– click “Compatibility”
– click “Change high DPI settings” and check the box “Override high DPI scaling behavior” and select “Application”
– click “OK” and click “Apply”
IᑎᖴO This option eliminates any “blurriness” effect in game which comes from unoptimized DPI scaling. Will not only make your game look cleaner but will create a boost of performance also
