As mentioned, the matchmaking bug is affecting Escape from Tarkov players from all classes. However, it seems that the PMC class players are mostly getting affected. Some of the players are also encountering EFT match issues while playing PMC. But luckily, switching the class to SCAV can fix the problem quite easily. As the PMC is a default class for the players, it’ll be interesting to see how long players can switch the class temporarily to skip the matchmaking issue.

  • First of all, make sure that the Escape from Tarkov game isn’t running. Close the game and end task from the Task Manager.
  • Now, relaunch the game > Try loading the match as a PMC.
  • If this trick doesn’t work for you, exit the match and go back to the main menu.
  • Finally, load the match as SCAV and quickly go back to the main menu again > Select PMC.
  • Enjoy!

Although the EFT community members have mentioned this trick as a temporary solution, it may not work for all. We can only expect that Battlestate Games will release a fix soon.
