Bullet Registration

Recommended Posts

This is an extremely important topic that needs to be addressed by the community and then the developers. The developers have not touched anything on this subject and I am personally upset. 

 

I have been playing Dayz SA since the first release day and loved the game at first zed kill. The first 2 months me and my buddy were rocking! We were fully geared and had well over 200 player kills each(Half banditry yes). We played all day when we got out of work and completely put our promising CSGO career aside. Then came the updates...

 

After a few updates i noticed that many of the bugs were fixed but each time a bug was fixed two more popped up. I never had a single problem with bullet registration until a few patches ago. All of the sudden my bullets were hitting nothing but grass and the silhouette of the thought player position. 

 

This was no ordinary bad registration, this was shooting still targets with a mosin/m4 at 20 yards and completely missing the player. I tested each gun for overall accuracy and i can pop a stop sign at 700 yards with my mosin so i know that my personal skills aren't the issue here(this is a really easy game).

 

I know I am not the only one who is suffering from these problems, I've asked plenty of people and found videos like this one.

Let me now explain the issue and you guys tell me if you have experienced anything like this.

This explanation does not include any kind of moving shot, as you move the gun is terribly inaccurate and desync can mess with registration on moving players. I may be banditing or playing fair but I will see a player standing still or crouched in a static position. I take the time to adjust my distance and make sure I am not breathing heavily. I hold my breath and line up my shot the absolute best I can(i do not ever take pop shots to reveal my position unless the shot is certain". I fire the weapon and nothing, i see no hit on the player nor dust off the side of the building, grass, etc. The player will stand up after hearing the shot with no blood and run off. I may be able to make several shots, all to the same end.

 

After the "WTF" moment I calm down and see if my aim was off. I always take a shot after i attempt my kill to see my accuracy. BAM, dead center shot, like picture perfect pristine shot. I believe this has to do with some sort of lag or desync.

 

The second issue is the same cenario but i actually will hit my target, then hit them 3 more times. Then i will shoot them  2 more times.....blood pouring from every angle of their body. They run up and shoot me once. Then i die instantly. These are all mosin shots mind you.

 

I have only killed 3 people in the last month which is crazy for me. The first couple months i played as a noob i killed roughly 200 people. I'm also no FPS noob, I hit Eagle Master in CSGO with relative ease. There are serious reg issues here and i am a sad camper.

 

I would love to hear from someone else with similar issues, i really would like this fixed or get an explanation why this happens to me every time i attempt a kill. I will go try to get some footage of my problem and i will upload it to youtube when i do and reply to this post.

My only gripe right now has to do with "missed shots" at past 200 meters are not registering like they were pre patch.

 

In other words I could fire at a building at 500m and see where the shot landed to see if I was range correctly, now I cant see them hitting anything past 200 meters.

 

This really sucks.

I have actually noticed this since this patch. My scope and zoom in is also very blurry??

Yah not as sharp as it once was, I figured it was due to the overall graphics change, but not being able to spot your shots at long range really is annoying. Before I could have my spotter call out if I was high or low , left or right of my target.
