Issue with Irishs trophy system? Video proof

I believe there is something wrong with the trophy system. I'm noticing that it isn't destroying grenades like it should. I find myself getting killed by grenades landing right next to it quite frequently. Here's a video.

I thought it may have been the smoke but I've put one down in smoke before and it destroyed grenades still.

    @ZRuff46 Keep in mind with 2042 netcoding, desync etc, where you think the grenade was might not have been the actual location. I get you’re going to believe what you believe, and we all know that internet conversations result in people changing their opinions right? Lol. If nothing else I can agree with your frustration with the game and its inconsistencies.

    @ZRuff46I did look at it close the first time, frame by frame. You can see the intial indication of grenade when you are still facing west and there are no directional indicators yet, until you turn southward. When the enemy releases it, the first indicator actually shows they have thrown it slightly to the right of your facing position, as it indicates a right arrow. Then as you turn southward (right) the indicator changes to left. Since it moves based on which way you are facing.

    If you go frame by frame, you can see the indicator bounce happen just as it approaches you. I actually think it hits very close to your feet but slightly left and behind the direction you are looking at that time. Then bounced under the sentinel. This looks to be just outside the 3m range of the sphere radius. Keep in mind also that the sphere position is shift slightly up on the position of the sentinel and not at its vertical center.

    I suspect if your trophy had been just a few centimeters more west it would have intercepted the grenade on the downward arc.

    @ATFGunr I'm almost 100% sure it's the netcode/desync. Countless times I've died to nades that I cannot kick away because they are not where they show they are on my screen. I've died to nades landing on the other side of shipping containers to my position. I've also had experiences where the desyncs are so bad I've managed to drown on land.

    Another thing to mention is how terrible those incoming nade markers are. They show the direction of the impending explosion with the little directional arrow (which is fine) but the trajectories of the projectiles defy physics as we can see in the video.

    The tracjectory looks like its skidding across the floor and would hit the cover in the video. It's completely busted.

    @ZRuff46 exactly what we are saying - the grenade has to be within the sphere of its influence. in your instance it was not.
