As soon as players are downed and you instantly go for thirst 7 out of 10 times for me completely no reg a full mag into a downed person. Kinda annoying

@E9ine_AC There are two situations I also experience this. The first is because you are invincible during the knock/fall to the ground animation, which actually makes sense. If you was able do damage towards an execute on someone during the knockdown-animation, you could easily execute people before they even got a chance to get their knockdown shield up. That would most likely just be frustration for everyone. People would become a lootbox before they could react.But maybe you are referring to the situation that happens when you and teammate or enemy from a third team shoots at the same enemy and someone else but you get the knock, which makes it look like you land multiple no-reg hits just before the enemy get knocked? The only reason I can think of is that there is a de-sync between whats going on on your client, your teammate and the enemies client. Lets say you and your teammate shoots at an enemy and your teammate gets the knock, i.e HIS client registered that his bullet was the one that took the enemy to 0 HP. But before YOUR client can recognize this and respond accordingly, that information must ofc travel from your teammates client, to the server and then to your client, right? I dont know how Respawn coded this game but who knows, maybe that information also must travel to the enemy's client for confirmation and back again etc etc Now add crappy servers, low tick rate, and high ping players to this.So I guess there just is a time interval where the enemy actually IS knocked but your client just hasnt got that info yet.

@E9ine_AC Same here. At the beginning of season 7 first hits dident count. Only 2-3e hits started to do damage.And i too noticed after shooting a player down there is a delay before you can end them.For me its 1-3 seconds before damage starts counting on either the k.o shield or player.Its weird that sometimes player can be damaged as soon as they are downed and some cant be hit after atleast a sec or 2 maybe 3.Maybe a part of the overall connection issues?Yesterday's patch did clean the game up for me.... plays alot smoother for some reason.

@Balladalidila For both of mine from what I've seen its pretty much my teammate will knock someone I instantly go to thirst them when they are on ground. Every bullet it shoot into them is a no reg till around 5 seconds or so after drop.This for me is absolutely game changing issue as when ammo or shield swap is needed and cant be done it can and will cost your life.

@E9ine_AC I doubt it really is 5 seconds though? More like 0.5-1 sec if we are being honest? But please prove me wrong with a video because that would be proof of a game breaking bug.But anyways, I know what you mean. It can be frustrating but once again; I think its a necessary thing. If you was able to do damage towards the execute in the middle of the enemie's knockdown-animation, people would become a loot box before they could even got to the knockdown state, especially if multiple enemies are shooting at them. I have to remind myself to play it cool when someone is knocked, and wait until I can see he clearly is on the ground in the knocked state before starting to shoot him again.

You are getting people who are abusing the bug against you.I didn't read everything as I'm sleepy. I'll say this. If someone is spamming their knockdown shield against you by flashing it fast. They abusing no regs so you don't thirst them fast enough. This is something that even Pro players hate to see others doing because they too know about this and it is a bug/exploit that shouldn't be in the game.I reported it and to get the devs to fix it many times. Nothing has been done about it.

I think the best option would be to produce any clips of the attempted thirst. I've had my share of noreg hits but they were always within the safety period, and if we have ones that are more questionable we can flag them for investigation.

If you can leave the game performance stats up that may help too, if there's a 500ms spike or big packet drop, that could be a factor whenever there's weirdness.

@EA_David I wish i could actually stream. Apex is only game that caps my gpu at 100% using every 3d it can produce. No other games does this for me. I have tried every setting there is from nvida control panel to apex settings to window settings. Nothing changes it. I can say majority of the ones I do get are near the circle portal turbines. A lot times near the circle buildings.

Normally I'm 120 fps and 50 ms ish

@E9ine_AC
Nvidias instant replay isnt GPU heavy. I get almost the same FPS when Im recording. This was also the case when I played on my old GPU (1060 6gb).

@Balladalidila Yes but apex even inside the lobby literally uses 100% of my gpu. If I try to record which I have tried many times I stutter so hard its bad to play. Either something with the 1650 super is weird or something with apex is weird. I do see even people with 2080 with same problems and unable to record/stream.
