Escape from Tarkov error codes and crash fixes
Every error, crash and connection failure we have a fix for, one page per code. Before the fix, each page says whether the problem is your machine or the studio's servers — because if it's theirs, no amount of verifying game files will help, and the only useful answer is whether it's happening right now.

Things you can fix
Crashes, install faults and driver conflicts. Find your symptom, work the steps in order, stop when it launches.
Escape from Tarkov error 206: launcher login fails (fix)
The BSG Launcher rejects your login with "Error 206" even though the same email and password work fine on the Battlestate Games website.
Escape from Tarkov BSOD loading into a raid (BEDaisy.sys)
Your PC blue-screens or restarts while loading into a raid, with "your device ran into a problem and needs to restart". Crash dumps name BEDaisy.sys, BattlEye's kernel driver, often with bugcheck 0x50 PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA.
Escape from Tarkov "restart through Steam is required" (fix)
Clicking Play in the BSG Launcher shows "An update is available, a restart through Steam is required. The application will be closed." even though Steam shows no update to download.
Things you cannot
Queues, capacity limits and login failures. These are server-side — every page below links back to live status rather than a fix you can perform yourself.
Escape from Tarkov error 0: "no game with name eft" (fix)
The BSG Launcher or game refuses to start and shows a bare "Error: 0" dialog, often paired with the text 'There is no game with name "eft" Parameter name: game'.
Escape from Tarkov error 614: "Matching is disabled"
Pressing Play or start matching shows "One or more errors occurred. 614 - Matching is disable..." straight away and every time. Restarting the launcher and the game doesn't change it.
Escape from Tarkov error 213: auth server timeout (fix)
Launching the game or logging into the BSG Launcher fails with "Error 213", sometimes alongside error 0 in the same session.
Escape from Tarkov error 1000 (backend error): fix
A "1000 - Backend error" dialog interrupts login, a raid, or extraction, sometimes with the added line "Some error occurred on the backend, profile data could not be saved."
Escape from Tarkov "profile data not saved" error (fix)
After extracting or ending a raid, a dialog reads "Some error occurred on the backend, profile data could not be saved" — and the loot or progress from that raid doesn't show up afterward.
Escape from Tarkov PvE "invalid matchmaking operation" (co-op)
In PvE co-op, joining a raid as a party member kicks you out of matchmaking or crashes the game, sometimes with "invalid matchmaking operation".
Escape from Tarkov "User action required" error (fix)
The launcher or game stops with "User action required", either while the servers are down for maintenance or after the game crashes with "It appears the game has terminated with an error, do you wish to report it".
Escape from Tarkov "errors occurred during matchmaking"
Queuing for a raid hangs or kicks you back with "One or more errors occurred during matchmaking", sometimes freezing the PC or taking around 10 minutes to close.
Escape from Tarkov crash on exit: Windows restarts (BattlEye)
Closing Escape from Tarkov (or a failed raid load) is followed within seconds by a black Windows screen with a fatal-error message and an automatic restart. Some players only see the game itself crash.
Escape from Tarkov PvE "EFT.MongoID Ambiguous match found" error
PvE will not load your existing character, or fails while loading into PvE, with "Error converting value "" to type 'EFT.MongoID'. Path '[1].Customization.Voice'. Ambiguous match found." PvP still works.
How these are graded
Every fix step carries a label. Confirmed means players demonstrably got back in with it, or the studio said so directly.Reported means it worked for some people and not others. Unconfirmed means it's circulating and there's no evidence either way yet. The distinction is the point — a page that lists five fixes with equal confidence costs you an evening.
