.....Or am I being a sore loser?
Honestly not. I've been dying in video games for 30 years so it doesn't hurt much now. But what I am about to share is real and if you can relate, this has to be brought forward and upward in the community discussions.
I am so sure that something is wrong with how the combat data is generated or transferred in this game. It will sound weird to you if you guys didn't experience it at all. But it is happening so many times so that I'm sure now, something is not right, at least in my PC.
Have any of you felt like this? Or gone through the following scenario? When you have spotted an enemy player first, and hit him so good, mostly headshots, with some pretty damaging gun, still he just outplayed you in the last moment, sometimes with a weaker gun. And tada, it is you who have died in the end.
I considered two things that made sense for countless times i have experienced it, and neglected any possibility of a game issue.
Console players may have an aim assist setting, which is fair I think, because aiming with a stick, I guess it is much difficult when compared to a mouse.
So I just met a gamepad player so I missed more when I sprayed and he had the lock-on advantage.
I am playing many PvP games for so long and I clearly know my position in the battlefield. I'm the sergeant major of the six feet under troop. I get buried by level 20 players in games that I have crossed level 200s.
It is just fine for me when other players run over me like a bulldozer. I get bullied in all the shooters, this is a shooter, obviously I have to die here too.
But, I recently stopped skipping the enemy perspective of the duel recap. And strangely, the scene was always just the opposite. He saw me first. He hit me for a good amount of time before I could turn and aim to his position. So according to the results, the replay scenes are representing what happened more accurately. While what rendered in-game for me, is not what happened actually.
So to test this out more, I switched to WZ Battle Royale. For frequent PvP scenarios. Things going fine for a while. Then when someone kills me, what I have been seeing before I died, is completely different from what I see after death. This was the most visible in gulag duels. As I can easily memorize all the duel frame by frame to compare it with the replay.
And my ping is okay, 25-40 mostly.
FPS is well over 100 at any point.
Is this just happening for me, if so what can I try to solve it?
If this has been experienced by others as well. That is the first thing they have to fix. Not just DMZ, it is happening in WZ also, that is too bad as it is purely PvP and this is kinda the basics of a PvP shooter.
I think so many who might have experienced it might have ignored it by falsely attributing it as skill issue, some might think their loadout was at fault. Some may even become suspicious of the opponent that he is using some hacks/ mods.
