Hit reg issues?!

[.emp]

I'm tearing my hair out trying to find out the reason. Me and my buddies are having hit reg issues a lot, we just can't figure out if it's the game, bad aiming, "net code" or simply server performance.

- yesterday one of our squad hit a guy from medium range like 5-6 times in a row with blood spraying yet no seemingly effect. The same guy hit him twice through the window and knocked him out
- a guy on the floor crawling took FOREVER to get killed - i'm talking about at least 6 shots straight to the body
- target sitting beside a tree not moving receiving multiple single shots, turning around hitting me once with nearly 90% dmg
- guy bunny hopping getting burst shots to the body, firing back and killed me
- shotguns on the other hand seem to one-hit almost everyone within short range


The list goes on and on.. playing this game for a couple of days though, but after Day-Z and this i can say this is definitely the last time i buy an alpha state game!

Anyone else having this? Or do we simply have to wait for optimization?

Not at all , maybe try to aim at the head ? ;)

- hitting arms / legs do less dmg than upper body and head shots.
- finnishing crawling ppl takes 4-6 bullets (headshots not included)
- you should try to aim for the head if he's not moving. take your time for 1 easy headshot and do 1-2 body shots after and he's dunzo
- there is no bunny hopping in this game.
- shotguns doe one-hit level 3 head armor close ranged

I too have the same issue, I'm from the UK so i started on the EU servers but it feels really laggy...I moved over to the NA server and it feels soooooo much better.

But SonnyDreamx3 has a point...The guy you was shooting at might of had full stage/level 3 armour.
I'm not expecting the game to be working perfectly yet and the developer has even stated that this game is not optimized at all yet, So we will just have to make do with what we have and hope it gets better as the development process continues.

I'm really enjoying the game tho even with lag problems and i hope all these issues will be ironed out as the game moves forward.

There cant be hitreg issues in this game. Its literally impossible unless hitboxes ♥♥♥♥ up. The hitreg is client side so if on your screen you hit the guy, you HIT the guy. If you die and your bullet hits an enemy after death the server reverts the damage

+1 if you die you're shot bullet doesn't do any dmg

thx for the responses, i'll try to sort it out locally/clientside.

Seems like we're not the only ones having problems with hit reg:

I have played over 100 games, and can't hit anything. If I shoot a guy 20 times in the back, nothing happens, he just turns round and kills me in 1-2 shots. my medium-long range shots always miss. I watch videos of people just pointing in vaguely the right direction and killing people every time. I know about recoil, I know about spread, I know about changing the sights range and/or aiming ahead or higher, but cant kill anyone with any weapon at any range. It is so frustrating. I realise you cant shoot from the hip as the cross hair is all but invisible, you have to mainly use the sights. However, I always die at close range when a guy is hopping about shooting from the hip, it is impossible to track the cursor over someone moving that fast, but others do somehow. I have tried increasing the mouse sensitivity. I notice some evidence of bad lag, even though I have 300Mb uncontended symmetrical fibre in spain. There is no way in game to see the ping time unfortunately. The evidence is seeing someone, ducking behind a building, then being shot "through" the building by that person 1 or 2 seconds later. Its bad. I wonder if all my problems are with the servers ping times and lag.

Maybe you just bad at this game if you can´t hit anything but even pros like me Kappa has sometimes issues with server/netcoding like in this video below:

For me its so random, some games it seems my bullets can do no wrong and all land perfectly, kill a guy exactly as I plan to, some shots miss but the bulk land just fine. Next encounter, cannot get my bullets to do a damn thing.

Thus far on the new patch it feels worse which could be lag but the item pick ups are smooth so I dont think its wholly "lag" per se.

Earlier I was about 100 feet from two guys, they had no clue I was hiding in the bush. I had a scar, foregrip, compensator and a holo sight zerod at 200m. One guy paused behind a tree to check behind them while the other ran at me. I am lined up looking down the sight, hold my players breath and shoot, not rapidly but shoot, wait till the kick back cools and shoot again. Got 5 shots off before he figured out where I was. At which point he was 75 or less feet from me.

I started shooting quickly being so close and got through 90% of my mag in semi auto. He strafe shot at me and dropped me the third time he shot his gun.

Next round, playing circle with a silenced AKM. Two guys heavily engaged ahead of me not watching at all. I got about 15 feet from them, lined up and started shooting, half a mag at a prone guy not moving at all before he turns to shoot me and drops me with two shots from his KAR. I'm dodging and running and he never moved. By the end I had emptied an extended mag with nothing to show for it.

My friend chased them away and got me up as they bolted to get in the circle. We persued and as they swam accross the river neighter of us could hit them (River by Rozhoc so not exactly wide) we stood on the bank shooting at them. Both of us emptied 1.5 to 2 mags in single fire to no avail and they dropped us in just a few seconds.

I get it that bullets miss, I can see the tracers and even see blood some times but the client side thing may be the intention but its NOT how it is in real life. I have video (editing still) proving I hit someone twice point blank with a frying pan and my shots yet no hit registered.
