early access......oh wait.

Yep that's been there since the beginning. I'm thinking its a "game feature" by now. it wont be fixed. ever

It's not a bug and doesn't need a fix.
What you(client) sees is not the same as what happened(server).
So your computer calculates the hit, which you see, but in actuality, the hit missed as calculated by the server.

Simplistic explanation i know.

Join a server with less ping.

i got that on all the server i played low ping and high ping and even on sp so samadhi you answer is not accurate

Turn on damage numbers (server setting required). It dsync between what you see on the client and what get calculated by the server.

Edit: also, hitbox issues.

Well if you're getting frustrated by having to waste stone arrows, just play the game a bit more. By fairly early even, (like lvl 25) stone arrows will seem like something you can make out of thin air you'll have so much stone and thatch

There is no fix for this.
You need to understand what a hitbox is to understand what is happening.

Some creature hitboxs are worse. You need to skip headshots and aim center of mass.

Haha nothing worse than an arrow missing the hitbox when you are running for your life from an angry dino and every shot counts.:Shoot:

i agree on that lol

Honestly, the only thing I have a problem hitting are the Dimorphodons You gotta pretty much hit those guys dead center with no wing in the way to score a hit. Other than that, I really don't miss with arrows too often unless the target is far away and moving. I've even been able to hit fleeing argents on a few occasions.
