Shooting Without Seeing The Bullets :)

sak · May 2003

<div class="IPBDescription">Is that happend to u too?</div> Well SOMETIMES when I play as a marines , If I shot with my gun I cant see the bullets but I do shot, and its same for all attack's cuz If it happens I cant see the pistol's bullets too..
As an alient its same , Somtimes I bite but I cant see my biting - the teeth isnt moving.
Well yeah I does attack but its harder cuz sometimes u dont have sensitivity with ur attacking <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>
Hmm after it happens , if I die everything comes back normaly, then I can see the bullets.
I just wonder if this thing had happend to u too.
And mayB there is a sulotion to this problem? Thx in advance

just another little bug , no idea how it happens , but its actualy a good thing to happen to you because you dont see the bullets or the flash from the gun, dieing normaly fixes it but iv played for about 15mins with it.

It happens to me sometimes , most of the time when I shoot the pistol , I shoot 5 bullets , I only hear 2 shots , and I only see the pistol doing 3 times the animation of shooting, but it shows in the ammo that I shot 5 bullets.
Same happens with the LMG but not so often. And with the shottie too.

I always think that it's related to my computer power , a P 2 450Mhz with tnt2 makes hard to play NS well . <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'>

I thought of it as a computer processor thing too. I only have a 700mhz comp with 192 RAM and a default Intel graphics card (I didn't buy this computer for games - I just ended up playing games on it). So I figured it wouldn't happen with decent framerate comps or higher video cards.

Yeah it happens to me sometimes too, maybe hardware has an effect - Laptop with 693 MHz pIII, 8 mb integrated gfx. Anyone get this with higher-end comps?

happens to me to sometimes.. like if i switch to a weapon real fast or if im gettin ammo and look up to shoot at a skulks surprise attack. I kill the skulk and never see my gun actually shoot

its probably my 56k and only happens sometimes for like 3 seconds at a time. Never extended periods..

oh and my comp is a p4 2.4 with a geforce4 ti4600 and 512 ddr so i dont think its the comp <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

Im pretty sure that you can only see the bullets once you have lvl 2 or 3 weapon upgrades. Its a visual indicator of how strong you are to the aliens.

*edit* with the exception of orange...(probably because he has an nvidia vid card <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'> <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'> just kidding don't want a flame war)

well i believe it's official, if you have a computer < 1.25 GHZ you aren't going to see all the animations and your framrates are really going to suck in close-quarter battles. also a good video card is a good thing to have too.

as you guys may have already guessed, this isn't some simple mod that just changes the skins and keeps the core game mechanics Hopefully whenever 1.1 comes out (don't hold your breath) system requirements will hopefully go down alittle.

I am fairly sure this is caused by lag, either through connection lag or client lag due to lack of processing ability available.
It happens in all HL mods, it is quite nice when it happens to you in DOD because your gun stops recoiling when it fires <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

I think it's caused by lag.

DarkFrost · May 2003

I get that problem but only on servers dumb enough to use HLGUARD.... any server thats not on it works fine, I assume u mean the wepon icon is red and u hear no sound OR the sound and visuals are offset completely to the damage being done. Both are problems with HLguard

FlyFlown · May 2003

Dont think its caused by lag... Happened to me once eventhough I got the sh*test connection ever <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'> I think it's just a bug and it never lenghts too much so...

holy christ, did you go to grammar school?

I have the problem where most if not all of my attack icons are red and it appears as though CL_LW and CL_LC (I think that's them... the lag prediction cvars) are set to 0. A major problem is that leap doesn't work at all but still expends energy, even when xenocide works at the same time so it's not a hives issue. I've been getting this problem quite a lot at the start of games but it fixes when I respawn. It may be my 56k modem though as it tends to give me a bad ping (280-350). It's not my graphics though as i'm running a Ge-force 4 and 2.3ghz processor + get 80-100 fps unless someone's been mine spamming or something <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>. As marine, it appears i only fire half the bullets due to the delay starting to fire (very noticable with 350 ping) but hitscan tracks from the time i press the button. Still very annoying as I can't tell I need to reload for half a second.

Lots of funny things happen when your ping is much greater than 150. Lag comp can only go so far.
