Aim shot's missing target

[Tex_Recoil]

Did they do something in the patch with aiming, I cant seem to hit a target will Im aiming at them. Understand they redid some of the damage, but that not what effecting my game, can only hit something with vats or hip fire. Looking down a scope at any target and shot , ends up with the shot not even hitting. anyone else having this problem?

Does this game have ballistics? (bullet drop)

Works just fine for me, maybe you need to reinstall the game or verify cache, also remove outdated mods.

Verified cache, nothing added nothing changed. Dont have any mods added to game, so that not a problem. Will think hard about reinstalling, but i hope not too.

How many shots have you fired while aiming? try shooting off bursts of shots at different areas of the target.

Using a .50 cal sniper rifle with scope, character is setup as a sniper. First shot is allways scoped shot, and now since the patch my scoped shot is allways a miss. Have to swtch to a hip fired weapon, lucky my character setup for that too. It seems that when Im scoped and fire my shot off, its like my goes shot completely right of were Im aiming. Going to test it out tommorrow after some rest. I guess I will have to setup some bottles and see what happening.

Yeah, could be some funky dispersion glitch.

Maybe.

When I was playing earlier tonight I thought a couple times I saw shots that shoulda hit an enemy not "connect". I also had some fps drops I never noticed before. A when I logged out of game there was a nvidia driver update reay to install. maybe that ties everything together a lil or somthin.

Maybe there is a hardly noticeable frame drop that happens when you fire that throws your rounds off target.

Two things.
1. This has happened to me where the reticle is on target but the shot is about 2 feet left. The solution is the game changed resolution somehow. You have to go back out of the game and double-check the game resolution. This has happened to me a number of times.

2. Since the patch, I am getting exactly what you're describing. Scoped in, fire off a shot and nothing happens. I can't even see the bullet hit anything. Alot of times it's some type of pathing problem where something is actually in the line of sight but not viewable, but not this time. I had a .38 pistol with a short scope and was not far away at all, and fired off a half dozen shots into nothingness. Very odd.

Installed the new driver today, but still have the problem.

Well I checked my graphic's setting and yes they did change. But I set them all back too what I had before patch. Still have the problem with aim shot. Well I tested my aim shot on a still object( nuke cola bottle) missed it 3 out of 5 shots fired aimed. No pathing problem , becuase there was no object in my way. Dont understand what the hell going on. This Is my 3rd play throw of the game, First time with this problem. Im mad my sniper character setup is about worthless now without being able to make first time aim shot, like before patch.. Current game have about 50hrs in, have a total of 531ish hour play now....
