Hit registration is still an issue with snipers

They are only landing at maybe a 50% rate.  I’m noticing it with other guns as well. It’s to the point that all I’m doing is dying my KD is half of what it should be and my average damage is way down.

i have tried everything on my end aside from buy a new Xbox. I consistently see prediction errors and packet loss symbols. Thoughts?

that is just one example.

  • @DarthValtrex i think it's down to our connections, i feel i have the same problem too, i main Bloodhound and sometimes when i hear people fighting in a building i like to rush in with my ultimate, just yesterday i rush in, a caustic is looting infront of the door standing still, 3 wingman shots right smack in his throat, nothing not hit marker no sound no nothing , so it is different from hit reg i think because when hitreg was an issue i heard the noise of my bullets connecting (the ting sound) and the x mark on me hitting them but no dmg numbers, now i know for a fact my internet is horrible i get 100 ping but i know there are tons of errors being corrected on my side i check them on my router so i think that if i turn off interleaving i will get packet loss, so due to the router correcting this error some of the info is not being delivered to the server thus when i am hitting a shot on my pc it does not translate to actually hitting the shot on the server, plus sometimes the game hitches and i find myself downed when i empty a full r-301 magazine into someone and it feels like i did over 200dmg but when i spectate i can see they have 70-80 hp left and the encounter goes as follows , i see first i engage full magazine game hitch for a millisecond i die from apparently a single bullet and some sounds do not play like the devotion i die while hearing nothing but then i hear the devotion winding down or the sound of shooting all fighting sounds just do not load.
    this is my take on it
  • @DarthValtrexTry a few different servers, see if problem is still there. I like snipers and had pretty good games lately with them, landing up to 5 consecutive shots on running / sliding enemies.

    Thanks for the video, I'll pass it on.

    It almost looks like the server thought the shield was up without telling your local client, since it's a clean hit on a stationary target. 

  • Everything good on my end so far. I got one no reg on Wingman a couple of days ago. I don't use snipers so I will try using them to see if I face any hitreg issues.
