Terra Therma Hit Registration Issues:

Terra Therma Hit Registration Issues:

From the first part in terra therma from the part where you were attempting to hit the Zeus, it looks like you're shots are hitting an invisible barrier from the metal structure.

Later I can't explain after that part, definite cause of hit-reg.

Totally acknowledge that sometimes I'm hitting the visible structure, other times, as you say, some sort of hit reg/geometry issue.

Do you remember the ping of the player?

The server you were playing on?

Sometimes a combination of the two can cause things to go really bad, and thus cause what was going on there.

N.American Server - Date 2015-10-10 - Match Ending 9:25pm Central

My ping during the event: Solid 90's (yeah screw AT&T)...
Intended victim's ping (B O A): 53-57 at the BoM, 62 at EoM. (What his ping was during, I did not check).

Hmm, okay, here's what probably happened.

The intended victim's ping probably was either spiking at the time and thus caused the Hit-Reg issues.

Or....

The Server's ping, which is something different entirely, was attempting to move along other players with higher pings and thus had a "Lag" while you were hitting the target.

Either way, wonky hit-reg at it's best.

Well supposedly HSR is supposed to resolve ping differences, etc., and this sort of thing happens A LOT when 'mechs are around terrain objects.

The terrain objects have tended to have "hit boxes" much large than the 'visible' object itself, also known as 'geometry' issues.

You can peruse my YouTube MWO Bugs channel for examples of other hit reg issues with terrain and otherwise...

Someone was complaining in the General forum how Polar Highlands is a sucky conquest map.

I disagree:

Last night, was drinking... a little... and decided I'd join the mindless minions of mediocrity in some of that LRM'ing fun.

MM cooperated, and this match resulted:

This match occurred prior to the one above, it was awesomely fun:

A few days ago PGI and TheB33f were dropping in the public queue. Myself and two of my fellow RRB - Jester Co - cohorts were lucky enough to get in against them one drop:
