1. Disable IPv6 (The #1 Fix)

Tarkov’s launcher is notorious for struggling with IPv6 connections. Disabling it forces the connection through the older, more stable IPv4 standard.

  1. Press Windows Key + R, type ncpa.cpl, and hit Enter.

  2. Right-click your active internet connection (Ethernet or Wi-Fi) and select Properties.

  3. In the list, find Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6).

  4. Uncheck the box next to it.

  5. Click OK.

  6. Restart your PC (Critical step) and try the launcher again.

2. Run as Administrator

Sometimes Windows security prevents the launcher from “calling home” to check for updates.

  1. Right-click the Battlestate Games Launcher icon.

  2. Select Run as Administrator.

3. Edit the “Hosts” File (The Advanced Fix)

If the above didn’t work, your computer might be trying to connect to a dead server address. You need to “clean” your hosts file.

  1. Go to this folder: C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc

  2. Find the file named hosts.

  3. Copy it to your Desktop (so you can edit it).

  4. Open the Desktop copy with Notepad.

  5. Look for any lines that mention tarkov, battlestate, or cdn. Delete those lines.

  6. Save the file.

  7. Copy it back to the original folder (C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc) and replace the old one.

4. Reset Your Network Stack

This clears out any temporary network “junk” or cached errors.

  1. Open the Start menu, type cmd, right-click Command Prompt, and select Run as Administrator.

  2. Type the following commands one by one, pressing Enter after each:

    • ipconfig /flushdns

    • netsh winsock reset

    • netsh int ip reset

  3. Restart your computer.

Summary

  • If you just installed the game: It is likely IPv6 (Fix #1).

  • If you just updated the game: It is likely a DNS/Cache issue (Fix #4).
