In the last few days I seem to die to things that outright shouldn't have killed me. I know MWO can be confusing sometimes and its hard to tell, but things simply don't add up lately.

We've had wonky hit registration before, like hits going through models and hitting the back plate, hits registering multiple times etc.

Anyone else notice something odd with HSR in the last few days?

Its a little spotty on euro and oceanic. People have posted videos before pointing this out NA is fine for me

I'm pretty positive I killed an enemy via a "rear CT" hit despite DEFINITELY firing at their front with dual CERPPCs the other day.

Kill was accredited to me, their paper doll still had a red outline on their CT front, but no structure left and no rear armor. But I definitely hit the front of their mech.

The same day I died suddenly and it looked like I had been hit in the rear, but my back was to a wall at the time. As you said, in the thick of battle sometimes you can miss things in the melee, but it felt off to me.

I've had my Centurion's rear armor blown off by shots to the shield arm several times recently, but that's easy enough to chalk up to "old mech, weird hitboxes". Hitreg deciding to go wonky for a bit for no explicable reason isn't out of the realm of possibility for this game, or Cryengine in general, though.

Having played quite a bit in the last few days I am convinced this is the case now.

Single hits register multiple times resulting in way more damage damage taken and deaths that should be theoretically impossible.

I've been playing MWO for years and this is one of the more frustrating things I've encountered. Happened before, but never so consistently.

The server have bin acting wacky for sure. Had a match with other day that had 11 DCs right at the start of the match. "correction checked the screen shot 11"

I did notice one match I got noticed of LRMs targeting me behind a building on River City and even took some damage.

I remember once taking Rear CT damage when no one was behind me and I had an enemy in front.

My big thing though right now is NARCs since getting Arctic Wolf-A and trying a NARC due to quirk and never using it. Sometimes I am dead center aimed on someone and they are standing still, I fire in a way that should obviously hit and......

Either nothing or it takes 5-10 seconds before the target is actually NARC'd.

I have seen plenty of hit register issues over the years. I have been playing a bunch recently, mainly an Awesome with 3 HPPC. Hit a piranha with 3 HPPC over the minimum range and didn’t even get into internals. Looked like a RA, RT hit. I have never noticed the hit in the front but allocated on back armor.
