Railgun not hitting?

[FPS__Dawg]

I don't know if it's an issue with netcode or hitboxes, Even when i looked at shadowplay replays, i'm missing so many shots while almost aiming at the center of a target. anyone else with this issue?

buy aimbot it never misses

Everyone has this issue, netcode is bad, hitboxes even worse.

Rail is a joke in this game. I actively avoid picking it up because I can never hit anything.

There is a fix so you can rule the arena with the rail : git gud

yep git gud is number 1 remedy for this issue, don't expect to git gud within 33.3 mins expect more 34,000hours+

I can rail in ql just not in qc go figure.

Same here. I'm pretty accurate in Q3A. I used to top Q2 instagib servers with 200+ ping. I think I've landed about 3 hits with the QC railgun, when it looked like I should have hit about 7 times. Something definitely feels off about it.

Rail is definitely less consitent in this game. Sometimes my aim is on and I miss and other times my aim is off and I hit. Netcode and hitboxes need to be tightened up a bit.

It's down to the netcode problems it's having atm, i noticed most people don't bother with rail as much compared to original quakes due to this. The go to rush weapon in QC atm is the lighting gun since even with the bad netcode you can still go on some crazy sprees with it due to how op it is.

I really frekin hope the devs are actually paying attention to forums and people talking about this, so we can finally get a fix. I want to play more but the lag problems often turn me off most days from playing it.

Here's a video someone made with the railgun problem https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZndC_6Ru2jA

my rail completely off the target but he died.
I think sometimes hitbox does not sync with the animation or LOD problem.

every shot properly missed in my view.
1st, cloak.
2nd left arm.
3rd, right shoulder
4th right shoulder again.
every shot was missed.
if this was Q3. all shots will be hit confirmed.
I saw proper rail problem video but I can't remember.

I'm not saying RG is ok.
but that video is cannot be an example because all shots are 3d Illusion.

Everyone is. They all play the same bugged game since there is no other version. If you'd like a pro opinon, go check out some of Rapha's vids on twitch how he keeps freaking out @ shots not registering.

Of course we have here commenting the ppl who know so much better even than him: the trash tier players who think if they get couple of rail frags it'z all brillianzz, the ppl with potato comps who can't tell the difference anyway, and t*rds who just plain BS :)
