Hi all, i'm having some issues, and i'd like to know if i'm the only one, or if someone else is having the same problem.

Since yesterday, i'm experiencing a really strange behavior convergence wise, with all of my mechs.
For example, it has happened multiple times with both my centurions AH, that firing at a target that was standing still, either with an ac20 or with uac5s, with my reticule centered on him, the shot passed the target on the right, as if i was aiming at a far point behind it. The issue seems to be prominent with arm mounted weapons, as i'm not having problems with the torso mounted srms, or with the torso mounted lasers on my hbk-4p. But weapons mounted on the arms (lasers, ballistics), are all acting as if they have no convergence at all.
It isn't happening in every match, but it is happening in most matches (~2/3 of the matches i played since yesterday), and it seems to be related with poor hit detection, as in those matches, i had many bullets disappear into thin air as they hit the target.


So, am i the only one experiencing this?

Did not notice this, but afaik what you describe is exact opposite of what its supposed to be. I may be mistaken, but lore-wise the torso weapons had infinite convergence and not gimball, while arm weapons had dynamic convergence. This always bugged me about MWO - torso weapons seem to have convergence.

Correct me if i'm wrong.

Are you playing with arms locked or unlocked?
What is your average FPS?
What is your average ping?

Just trying to see if there is a delay when you pull the trigger to where your arm's crosshair is relative to your torso crosshair.

Would you record some of your sessions and link the video here?

I play with arms unlocked, at an average of 45fps, usually ~175ms ping.

How far away from the target were you?

[o0cipher0o]

Usually at around 200m.

By the way, looks like the issue is gone. In the matches i've played today, i had no problems with convergence on arm mounted weapons. Guess it was a latency/desync issue.

it happened to me once yesterday, I aimed but UAC5 shots went elsewhere
