Dying behind cover

[_ShâdowyLight_]

I've beend dying behind cover a lot in Crimson Heist and North Star. On my screen, I'm behind a reinforced or stone surface (bullet proof) yet I still die. What's going on and how can I avoid this issue?

Doesn't make sense. Check the killcam.

I do check the killcam. For the enemy, I'm still exposed. On my screen however, I've successfully managed to get behind cover. One example is, I'm fighting an while playing around a shield. I stand to see my enemy, then crouch right away. Takes a second, but I get killed even though I'm crouched.

If you mean you go prone and die at the same time that happens, on your screen you are lying down, but on the enemy screen you are still up.

So this is a ping issue? It happens when quick peeking too. I peek back in to cover, but I'm exposed on the enemies persepctive.

Sounds like basic netcode / latency / ping, shenanigans, its a multiplayer game and ubi's servers are jank and I feel like they lie about the pings being shown.

Nothing can be done since its a multiplayer game and technology isn't good enough to give everyone fiber optic cables to their pc.

Just abuse the heck out of peakers advantage for ez kills.

Yeah it's like Bobr said. It's always been a thing in multiplayer games.
I remember when I played Call of Duty back in the day and shot an RPG, then when I watched the killcam my RPG never fired. There is a small delay on both ends even if you are on 20 ping.

Ever heard of peekers advantage? Never fall back, rush the enemy instead.

But I AM the peeker? I peek, either get info or miss my shots, get to cover, just as I'm about to head out again, I end up dying?

Sorry but how are you still going on about this. The way you are explaining things it sounds like you are playing on 250 ping. I doubt it's that bad.

Once you get out of the cover and encounter an enemy there is no way back. Keep that in mind.
1) you peek, you get hit and you have 25 hp left;
2) you get to the cover;
1.1) you get killed, because you were still on opponents screen.

Higher comulative latency between both of you makes this worse.

the timecode is ~16:00 - 24:00

Usually 40 ping. Same with enemies. But thanks for all the explanations. Case closed. Better internet's gonna save me it seems.

Then how does quickpeeking work? Is it just better not to do it sometimes?

Most likely what it is; is your connection to Ubi servers. For you it registers you behind cover when you are actually not behind cover said can be the same the other way. If you peek quick enough you can kill someone before they see you. It's just Ubi being Ubi.
