Hit registration is the worst its ever been

Its shocking hitting enemies or watching killcams where you shoot in the personal space (and not the actual person) of a character and see them take damage. You dont need to land your shots anymore, you just need to shot the air around them and you will land your shots. I swear it didnt use to be this bad.

Oh, I’m having the opposite experience where I see shots land, they make the sound, I see the animation of the impact, but the enemy takes no damage as if I missed entirely.

Had similiar issue recently, be it I solved most of that by resetting my router that had been running a few months straight.

After that I’ve only seen some minor delayed impacts on occasion.

Servers seem to being prepared for PVE here soon.

This right here. It’s really bizarre. It happened occasionally in OW1 but it seems much more common now.

It was way worse back in season 2 I think? Hit reg is a lot better now compared to before, at least for me. Although there are occasions when I still get noregs, but it’s probably on my end.

Back in season 1 or 2, the console settings were somehow affecting the PC settings. So many people complained because of that issue.

Been getting this too, a lot, specifically on projectile heroes. I get all the hit registration alerts but… nothing.

Yep, it’s atrocious and I’ve documented that it even happens on 1x replay which is the serverside interpretation.

The replay (ignore the discord sounds, they’re not yours):

That’s some sweet sweet midair stuck icicle.

I literally heard a moira death scream and she didn’t die.

PS: Oh, you’re describing the opposite of what I see OP. I see exactly what trilly says. Example, you put an arrow on someone, you see the splurt of goo but damage is non-existent.

Yup. I too have had the mid-air icicles, several times in fact. :laughing: First time I was confused as hell, because I had no idea what that strange floating object was. Now I’ve gotten used to it.

Also I swear I’ve had some Ana sleep darts pass directly through an enemy, but I’m not 100% certain of that one. Incidentally just seconds after one of these occurrences, someone else in the lobby complained about a hitreg issue they just experienced themselves.

This is the problem I have been having, too…

this is likely because there is a critical coding conflict or oversight that causes hit registration to not properly actually exist UNTIL user settings are adjusted. so simply visit your control settings, change an input, then change it back. or adjust a slider. sadly, hit registration enters sleep mode quite often unless this is done. this oversight has ruined millions of matches as no user would know to do this.

Look at this Junkrat with 1 HP. I wasted 3 mags to kill him. :skull:

LOL.

Yeah this game is pretty tragic.

THISSSSS and I thought it was just me!!!

I have had several matches today as Pharah, where I am literally shooting right at the enemy feet in a 1v1 (indicating that they are not being healed), and I see no splash damage occurring and they are staying alive. My vital stats are at top of screen and my latency is super tiny and graphics buttery smooth at 100fps.

I did notice it was only SOME matches, and in one match in particular it was pretty bad where I was hovering low over a Zen and he wouldn’t die with about 4 rockets at his feet.

LOL it legitimately ignored the entire second clip.

The OW team came out months ago gaslighting the community saying it was just a small tiny itsy bitsy issue that they already fixed with the interpolation algorithm

Man, can they actually get some coding talent back or something?

Have you had insane amounts of damage hit you out of the blue too? I’ve been sitting at 600 health as JQ using Shout, and it felt like I got one shot by the enemy Road, it was a 1v1, and he right clicked me as I closed in and I just… dropped like a squishy to Hanzo headshot.

Really makes me wonder how in the actual f do OW think they are competitively viable. The more I play the game the less I feel this way.

Should’ve used your hitbox thu’um. Problem solved.

This is what happens when you downgrade servers, which they did when they put OW1 on maintenance mode and once again when they updated to 5v5.

It’s extra bad this morning.

REAAAL. I’m getting SOOOO many no-regs with Kiriko , and it gets me so MAD when I know I got a head shot >:(
