Hitbox

[rissoxx]

Hey people!
I have noticed that the hitbox is not 100% accurate. Is it just me or do other people notice this too? Sometimes I hit when I shoot behind them and sometimes when I hit it dosnt count as a hit? I play on servers with 50 or below ping so thats not the problem. I wonder if its a known problem will they fix it? Hitbox is so important in FPS games so I hope they spend alot time to fix it and make it 100% accurate! Anyone else having the same issue?

Might be also a frame synchronisation issue, not only ping problem.
I have had experienced 2-3 time the issue you mention.

Ping is blamed for too much nowadays

[rissoxx]

Yeah well I didnt blame the ping. I just said that it wasnt the ping so people wouldnt think it was the ping, since its the first thing people think about xD. But are you sure its not the netcode that is wierd? I mean the hitbox must be perfect in an fps game. If its not its boring . I mean I have hitted the enemies many times when I shoot behind them. I really hope they fix it, either if its synchronisation problem or netcode!

I'm not sure, because I am not a developer of those hitboxes they seem to bee very good, sometimes awkward in terms of hand movements (hand hitboxes sometime seems to be bigger than expected).

Can you post your Speedtest to Paris ?

[rissoxx]

Well not sure how to do that xD. But I use to play on servers with below 50 ping, most often I play on swedish servers since im from sweden! But I just played with the rail gun. And when other people was in the air I could shoot behind them on purpose and hit them . Since this is gonna be an esport game its really important to get the hitbox correct.
How do I make a speed test to paris? And how do I post it?

Not speedtest, my bad.

Go start menu : run -> cmd -> ping maniaplanet.com

[rissoxx]

hmm cant copy it but It was 26 ms, 25 ms, 23 ms, 24 ms. Package sent 4, taken 4, lost 0.

Strange, internet sees fine. Two possibilities left - your software or game software.

I dont think theres anything wrong with my computer/game at all! For example I have processor i7 3770k, GTX 580, 16 GB ram memory, SSD disk. So I dont have any lagg at all! I dont think theres anything wrong with my game either. I think its the netcode thats wrong or hitbox or something. I dont really know much about this netcode and stuff but I know when the hitbox is wrong. Have been playing FPS games for like 8 years now.
