Hit Reg Problems

Ever since the latest patch I've been noticing that it is extremely difficult to hit enemy players. At first I thought this was just because of poor aiming on my part but then I noticed something interesting. Many times when I shoot an alien they bleed but no hit indication is given. This is extremely noticeable when I'm hitting them at point blank range. Just a few minutes ago I put roughly 40 rounds into a skulk at point blank range which only did 44 damage. I could see them bleeding like mad as I shot them. It can't be my latency because I'm usually never above 100ms.

Did something change Server/Client wise with the latest patch? Has anyone else noticed this?

    Please take a video of the problem, because no one has been able to provide a video of hits that show no damage numbers but show blood at the same time (on low ping) in quite some time.

    Could be a problem with the servers performance.
    Be sure to look at net_stats if there is less than 30 tickrate from the server

    Having the same issue. Full magdumps directly into skulks and still have to switch to the pistol to finish them. This is happening to me a lot, gonna try to get video.

    Make sure net_stats is on when you take the video.

    There are certain times where I see aliens taking no damage during shots. The most common is your final shot just as you die with a shotgun, most of the time it will not register. Or if a skulk is behind something and you can only shoot the slight bit that is showing, it will show blood, yet no damage.

    It's not just you. I started a thread in General about massive rubberbanding and hit registration being worse since the patch.

    This game really needs the ability to start recording a demo at any time, not just before connecting to a server. Things like invulnerable hydras and this would have been fixed ages ago if this feature was available.
