Shot around corners

We have all been a victim of getting shot around corners I thing this is ridiculous

So basically we have all been weak from a fight you are sprinting to take cover around a corner to heal up and what happens you reach behind the corner but you died doesn’t make any sense 

I want whatever that’s is to be taken out the game it doesn’t benefit anybody 

who agrees

  • @Rahz_VII It’s not a feature to ‘be taken out of the game’. It’s a mixture of lag compensation +... well basically all lag compensation.

    If the person has a higher ping than you and is shooting you, he’s being favored by the game. This means regardless for you that if the system already registers that you’re behind cover on your end but not on his and he’s still shooting you that you’re gonna get hit by those ‘ghost bullets’.

    Only way to have this removed is by not relying on highest pinger shooting, no lag compensation or letting only players with similar pings play each other.

    But I know it’s annoying cause it happends alot. I’ve raged many a time because of this. Well behind cover and I die... I record it, see I’m well within cover and die... it’s maddening
  • @Koochi-Q Ohh 😲 so it’s ping related that’s crazy well they need to do something because am tired of dying when am well hidden
  • @Rahz_VII There’s multiple articles regarding it. Most shooters have a lag compensation in place. For a long time CoD was the baddest for me. Getting shot when I’m behind cover... been going on for years... then came Apex and holy Peanutbutter did I want the CoD version xD without exaggerating, I’ve been shot when I’m well over 1 sec behind cover.

    Yea ping related, but more who’s shooting related. If you stopped shooting it auto goes to other guy.
  • @Rahz_VII Because Apex is a very fast paced shooter, lag makes these issues more evident. Even if they improve the netcode, problems will still show up when ping response is high. This one I guess is hard to fix, unless you're 5m from the server 🙂
  • Lag compensation is a *, especially in Respawn games, as they seem to set it to where it favors people with awful latency a lot (I basically stopped playing Titanfall 2 because constantly dieing 5 feet behind cover does get annoying pretty quick)

    I get it, they want as many people around the world to play and enjoy the game together, but it feels terrible to have supper specs with fast at connection to constantly die behind cover.

    @Vladplaya It is true! Apex has some of the worst netcode when it comes to current games. The catering to High pingers is unacceptable for anyone who is from the era that high pingers needed to compensate for their connections by leading targets.

    @Rahz_VII You may want to watch the netcode analysis by Battle(non)Sense to havea better idea of what this issue is. There are 3 such videos from launch of Apex. Here is the first https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PfFPW9a90w&t=434s
  • I hate this so much. One time i was in the cave area of the pic, i was so far around the corner from a sniper it was ridiculous then i just got knocked.
