Invisible enemies + inaccurate hit boxes [VIDEO]

(PixelTwitch) #1

So I will just let this video talk for itself…
This has become more frequent since the last patch and the hitbox on sawbones has always been an issue for myself to hit.

As stoker I frequently get headshotted whilst crouched behind cover, over which I can’t see my enemy to shoot at them, but they can still see me, the deathghost confirms that my head is sticking out miles above the cover, but for some reason my crouched eyelevel is in my chest.

I wonder if Sawbones has the issue in reverse (crouched eyelevel too high), although that did look like an insta-appear rather than an uncrouch animation, so…

I suppose it is possible however he appeared in a single frame of 120fps. There was no animation of him coming from a crouched position…

Also, I have had this where the entire body is invisible.
It seems to be a strange one really… Because they are only invisible when you turn quickly to see them… it lasts for around… 1/5th of a second.

Forwarded this along, doesn’t look like he was crouching.

Do you know the date, Server name and approximate time that this recording was taken? If you do we should be able to grab the demo of the match and watch it back to see what was happening from the medics perspective.

Also, have you modified any of your .ini files?

Yesterday, Rex and I played a little 1vs1 on the same map.

Rex had Vassili, crouching behind the containers in front if this window we can see in the video. Only his head was visible, every other part of the body was covered by the containers.

I played Redeye and aimed for his head, shot 2 times -> Result: 2x body hits.

Im pretty sure it was the #1 EU Stopwatch server. Unfortunatly I dont have record of this, but it was almost the same “WTF” moment.

Apart from basic ini file changes such as rawinput… and spawn deploy timer and input settings no. I have nothing edited graphically or network based.
actually let me go and check the time on the video file… brb…

I assume it would have been a US WEST based on my ping on the scoreboard.
