Have a bad Internets? Can't shoot people consistently in video games because of it? Blame developers for implementing client-side hit detection!
Client side is likely the future guys, most new games are going this route since our series of tubes has been super-powered.
You do realize people used to play games like Quake online perfectly well using internet connections far worse than anything available today, right?Quote:

Hit detection was spot on in the Alpha Trial. That's because it was server-side. And then they supposed "improved" the netcode for the beta where hit detection was client-side. Everyone started complaining and nothing has changed. Do they do this to piss us off purposely?
Client-side hit detection DOES work better when everyone has good ping.
But everyone doesn't, so it doesn't.
Just ban all people with bad ping from playing problem solved I say.
I caved and got the game when it went on sale.
so far it feels like I'm playing 1000 ways to die but die 1002 ways instead.
also managed to knife someone from 20m away not sure how that works

happened to me on grand baazar about 2 months ago. this guy had run up over a curb, i knifed, nothing happened for a second, then just as he was about to start running up the stairs, i teleported to him and ripped his throat off. i was like "wut..... alright, lol"
Happens to me all the time. I mean, I'm pretty good with knife kills but sometimes the game is just ridiculous and grants me a 10 meter lunge.
