Many mods are broken. One of them is shine.
If the server is not running shine dev but shine, its currently broken.
Some map mods also broke. One of them is n2_hydra. (you do not need to be in the map for it to break sadly)
It's absolutely awful. I've never seen it this bad in the 1000 hours I've played. Every server I join is filled with new joiners asking if reg is off, and existing players complaining about reg. The game's nearly unplayable right now.
I'd say as skulk a good 1/3 of bites won't register. It sucks for marines too but it's clearly noticeable as aliens because you can have a marine fill your entire screen, see the bite animation go off, and get no damage.
I'm not sure if it's a patch or mod issue, but DMD and MCG servers are screwed for sure.
Please be sure that you dont run Shine until it's fixed, and better not to run any other mods until they are updated. NS2+ was tested during development.
Thanks for the detailed video, anyhow.
If anyone is experiencing anything worse (or new) than these videos please follow suit with your own video
EDIT: ok so i've joined some very full modded servers and whooaaa holy crap it was horrendously bad.
Then I joined a vanilla server in the EU and had the typical degree of issues, however the low pinged person had the same high degree of issues. Weird.
Taking video & sounding the alarms

I can, unfortunately, report that hitreg is a lot worse this patch.
Tried on our TAW UK pub with a few people. (read 3.)
hitreg was abhorrent. Im not talking about previous patches, im talking about at times 50% off.
Server log showed no increase in any errors I can remotely relay to hitreg. There are errors but not more then normal.
We run the shine dev version, which has some fixes ghoul made for this patch.
Right now I shut it down and started TAW UK Pub vanilla. Feel free to see if issues on the vanilla also arrise.
(note 20 slot on vanilla's default bwlimit is still pushing it, so see if you have any issues if it closes to max players.)
I am actively pushing fellow taw to make recordings.
I think most of the team is sleeping at the moment, but you can bet this will be looked at as soon as possible in the morning. Sorry for any inconvenience!

I can reproduce this on vanilla server sadly. No recording yet. @Ironhorse was recording his side.
If folk feel inclined to try. TAW runs vanilla atm, just in case.
I initially thought I could reproduce with bots.. this was wrong. Bots seem fine. (I see no damage but blood on bots when not all pellets hit, but I used 0.3 damage on bots.. so perhaps a few pellets on 0.3 are no damage cause ya know.. 30%.)

Atm TAW UK pub is ok.
So make sure the server you are on is stable

Seems like the usual to me

I hope we can all resolve it quite quickly, while keeping all involved parties happy.
HAH! You new around here??
