Ive been using a sniper for a while, i often see a blue flash around the enemy im shooting at and he doesnt lose any health, however as most people are moving its difficult to tell if i was actually pointing at them or slightly to the sides |

It's a bug, and it has totally nerfed snipers in this build. |

CCP is aware of it, and they are working towards a fix. |

Of course, when they fix it, it'll make sniper vs. sniper far more interesting  |

No, you're probably on point, just like I was all day yesterday. The same exact thing happened to me too. I hit someone in the face and a bright blue flash appeared, with no damage at ALL! A mean hit marker appeared too. YOUR PROBLEM IS AN EXAMPLE OF.....THE ULTIMATE HIT MARKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

ok thanks, good to know that not all the people escaped did so because of my bad aim :P is it just snipers or do other weapons get effected too? |

Almost positive it's all weapons, but it seems to have to do with the other player's proximity to a building, wall or hill. Snipers tend to encounter players in this situation more ofter than other class. Most players don't stay crouched against a wall when my HMG opens up on them. Also, I've been the one with the invincible shields before and far as I can tell there's no way to know that you have it, so it's most noticeable if you're regularly shooting someone that doesn't know you're about to shoot them. So it affects all weapons ( I think), but really only matter to snipers. |

Bug due to lag/hit reg issue. It has been around for ages and is a game crippling bug to have, thus it is alarming that it has not be fixed yet. |

A well known bug that CCP have stated is in their 'fix list'. An yes, incredibly frustrating.
It seems to be that when close to a building or terrain feature (hills), the player is 'protected' by the invulnerable features shield. All weapons are affected to an extent, however snipers notice it most due to their fairly unique target locations and angles etc. |
