Has anyone noticed the amount of hits not registering? Not just on single weapons. ALL of them!
PPC, laser, ballistic and SRM? I swear I am seeing SRMs and AC rounds passing right through targets. My friend unloaded three 55 point alphas into a mech last night and did little to no damage. I will try to get some video of it.

Nope, everything hitting as expected here. I have a ~20 ping however.

[DjPush]

Haha! Nice. Mine is between 60 and 80.

Typically just with PPCs and missiles. The game has been having lots of random latency lately.

I stopped playing euro server during the event this weekend. My ping was reaching up to 165 (65 on NA and normally ~135 on Euro) and above 150 my shots either stop registering or clearly register a second or so after I hit someone, can't play like that. Maybe it was just high load and whichever server is further from you?

[Moebius Pi]

Some recently released mechs (Orion IIC I'm looking at you in particular) also seem to have some bad hitbox issues on top of the usual HitReg woes. Nothing like being shot from the front and your back registering the damage (extra fun when you front load armor I tell ya).

PPCs clipping and missing when they shouldn't has been an issue for a while, and SRMs still suffer from "one day hitting and working as intended, the other, may as well be shooting rotten potatoes" inconsistencies.
I've noticed it with AC's as well here and there, but that seems to be more from random latency spikes and something else I can only guess is server side. I usually average 52-60, but during the last couple of days I was noticing odd behaviors without my actual registered ping going up... and others as well in some matches complaining about the same thing. The once-rare (for me at least) Lobby destruction has cropped up as well, and the CW map going all out of whack.
I could be wrong, but I have a feeling there's a bit more than the traditional issues at work. There honestly seemed to be some server-side hiccups at play inconsistently far more than the norm.

Russ said the population was the highest it has ever been yesterday. I will guess the server load was the highest too. So this might have been the issue.

Ohh... I didn't think about being on a different server.

PPC's have been rough for me.
LPL for lyfe.

[Charronn]

Over the weekend the game has been unplayable at times.Dc's with multiple players and huge lag spikes.I dunno if they need to reset the servers or what but it certainly is effecting me.
UK player.

50 ping and my ppcs and srms have been having issues . Not major ones but when you see them go through the enemy its frustrating. Most likely culprit is the large spike of population for the event over taxing the servers.

It's on and off for me.

It's ok, typically, when I begin my gaming sessions, then, after my second headshot, it generally goes to **** for an hour or so before returning to normal (until my next headshot).

I've linked a post on a specific issue I encountered with a shutdown Jenner.

http://mwomercs.com/...ost__p__4971575

In there you'll find vids of the Jenner being shut down and having a gauss round pass through its cockpit, only to register on the side torso...

[Solahma]

I've noticed a lot of my dual gauss shots FEEL like they are missing. I assumed I have just been aiming a bit too high by accident, which is probably the case IMO. I'll try to pay more attention tonight.

[MeiSooHaityu]

The other night I was running my dual ERLLaser / dual SRM4 Vindicator SIB (yeah I know, but I'm lost with that thing) and I noticed the hit marker was delayed or not registering. I don't normally notice anything unusual, but that stood out.

My ping is also about 60, but I also swear I've seen it spike over 100 from time to time (although it always seems to settle back at 60 pretty quickly.

[adamts01]

I've been seeing some stupid stuff. Mostly stupid players, but lots of robberbanding and some hitreg.

Had like 11 ppc shots just disappera into thin air last night. They never hit the mech or the terrain around it. My PPC's just vanish into thin air.

I also had major issues with my SRM's as well, was running my IIC Jenner and had 2 matches where all i ran out of ammo shooting mechs close range....the one match ended with a whooping 171 dmg from 400 rounds of SRM ammo. Even if only like 20% hit i should have dont more dmg then that. lol.


Something is wonky...granted PPC's have never been right or good, i feel like they somehow got even worse.

I will say, i didnt think about this until just now. Most of the issues i had were on servers OTHER then the NA one.

Maybe my ping is to blame.

Was the Mech a Quickdraw feathering his jumpjets, because Quickdraws retain the broken old JJ animations which messes with Hitreg (part of the reason why Quickdraws are so OP atm).
