Players will now be able to enjoy a smoother gameplay experience in Escape from Tarkov. That’s because Patch 0.12.12.15.4 adds support for Nvidia DLSS. Those who are using Nvidia’s RTX graphics cards can now enable the said feature in the settings.
Nvidia DLSS is an AI rendering technology that provides better graphics and increased frame rates. This is done by utilizing the Tensor Core AI processors in Nvidia’s RTX 2000 and 3000 series GPUs. Nvidia DLSS is best used with a 2560x1440 resolution monitor or higher.
Anyway, Patch 0.12.12.15.4 also brings a lot of bot improvements. For one, bots will no longer shoot when trying to go prone or standing up. Inertia for bots when accelerating and decelerating has been added as well, including some new speed settings during stationary turning and running. On top of that, bots now correctly use prone positions when engaging a player.
