Guards and cameras seeing through walls
Guards and cameras can now see through walls since the Western Pack update. I've confirmed that they are indeed seeing through walls and not legitimately spotting someone/something.

Is your "problem" that you kill a guard or civ with a silenced weapon and others behind the wall alert even when they cannot see the dead person?

Probably related question? Do you have Shinobi or Hidden Blade skill aced?

:) This "problem" I'm talking about does not relate to killing any civs or guards. What is happening is on Election Day - Day 2, I'll dump a body bag in the dumpster on the right and close it, but (after running away quite some distance) the camera will alert on something.

Or my friend will actually kill a guard on the roof of Framing Frame - Day 3 and while he's halfway through answer the pager, a guard in the bedroom on the bottom floor will alert for no reason. This still doesn't have anything to do with not having Shinobi or Hidden Blade.

I posted this here in hopes for OVERKILL to look at it and take a look.

maybe it's a host/client mismatch issue? sometimes bags or bodies will apear to be in a safe position for the client, but not for the host. e.g. client throws a painting through the window but host sees it fall inside - guard then alerts when he sees the painting inside.

The issue is desync. What a client sees as a safe movment or safe area to place loot, is not safe for the host.

That camera is a known issue. Someone recorded it during a solo run. It looks totally dumb but indeed is a bug that existed before these updates already.
About the other thing I can't say anything but I saw another thread talking about the same issue. Maybe they're already working on that client-side stealth issue?
