This problem has been plaguing me a lot recently…a whole lot, and since I didn’t see any recent threads on it I thought I’d bring it up in my ongoing attempt to track down the exact cause of the problem. In a nutshell, I seem to have (from my perspective) what I can only call a delay in my game. Here are the basic symptoms…I get shot completely around corners(not having just barely passed it but clearly behind it for a second-sometimes more)…my shots seem to miss when my crosshair is on their chest(I’ve looked back at some old videos I had and this indeed seems to be the case)…I’ll get shot in the air even though I’d already landed and taken a step. The one thing I’ve determined is that all these things are directly related. They are also pretty consistent throughout a night of play. My suspicion is, as much as I hate to say it, bad net code which causes me to run at a second behind most other players(although I’ve seen first hand some others suffering from it too). So, basically what happens in my above examples is I get shot (because of the delay) because on their screen I wasn’t behind the wall. I don’t get the hits because they’re not actually standing where I see them on my screen, and I get shot mid-air because on their screen was still there. On occasion I even kill shots that clrearly show the shot going thgouhg an object(wall, etc.). And literally the 2-3 bullets that are not on target are the ones that hit mostly.
I’ve tested my connection with pingtest, speedtest, nettraffic tests, packetloss tests, etc. and all came up well within spec. I checked my modem and router to make sure nothing weird was going on there. I played the game with all other non-essential processes disabled. I’ve re-installed the game, tried different config settings, etc. and I’m just out of ideas as an end user. So, the only thing I can think of in unoptmized netcode or some weird latenc when the server communicates with my client… It just seems like the only singular thingn that could explain all of it.
So, my question is who else does this happen to? If some people back me up then I’ll at least have the satisfaction of knowing I am not alone on this. If no one else is getting this, however, then I guess I have to look at my rig again.
At any rate, any input or personal experiences regarding this would be welcomed.
Thanks!
