Is hitreg really that bad?

[Qekium]

Literally every third bullet just doesn't appear to damage anything. Is this okay?

[Jozsefirst]

It's not okay,you are not the only one experiencing this and so far from what I've seen devs and some players shrug it off as an internet connection issue while it's clearly not.

These types of discussions really benefit from a recorded video with the network overlay enabled (it will show server tickrate, among other things).

Other than that, the hitreg seems to work consistently enough for everyone else. Personally speaking, I've saved a ton of clips where I thought hitreg seemed to fail me, but after playing the video back frame by frame, I'd realize that I would miss by a inch or two at the last second.

I wonder if the hitboxes in Sandstorm might be tighter to the actual character model than what I'm used to in other games. It seems like other games will grant me the hit if I was close enough.

Are you playing on local servers without other people also using your network? Even on Asian servers I'm having no issues whatsoever with hit reg and my ping is usually 100 in that situation and usually under 30 for local servers. I had one game where I had a 200+ ping to somewhere in Europe and the hit reg was terrible but that isn't specific to this game. If you're on local servers, you're probably just missing your target due to recoil. Also, if you're sharing your network with other people, that has caused me problems.

i play with about 90 fps @ 1440p, ~9ms of input lag and ~30 ping. Never been suspicious of hitreg problems in my hundreds of hours.

I often have 1-2 bullets go right through people with the svd requiring 3-4 shots to kill. This sometimes occurs even when people are not moving. You won't get any blood splatter or anything. It didn't connect for some reason. My pings are low 40s. Also happens when my ping was low 20s.

I've seen youtube videos of it happening to someone else as well.

I'm not sure who everyone else is but the large group of people I play with often bring this up.

I will try to turn the overlay on and get some footage next time I play.

The thing is that I had an issue with this for some time for now. It often happens whenever I'm trying to shot someone down with a pistol or an SMG (set to full-auto). It never happens, I think, when I semi-auto someone with a rifle. But I have to admit, as said above, there were a couple of times when I couldn't land a shot with an SVD in particular.

And uhm yes, I consider turning the network overlay and video recording on, thanks for the hint.

Yes, it's that bad.

[Elsky]

No it is not.

Still better than InSourcegency, where every bullet is a dice roll but the blood splatter isn't.

Recent update caused occasional hitbox desync... Last night we found a bot who had no hitbox and simply waltzed across an open field while we unloaded onto his nonexistence...

It doesn't seem to happen very often, at least.

Yes, it is a bigger issue than Sh*tty Optimization.

[AnAngelOfDeath]

No problem at all with hitreg here.
