Bump, so the issue can get fixed.

Agreed something is up in the aim / frame rate area

I know there are lot's of threads out there complaining about this but I think they are saying the aim is the issue. I realized that the aim is fine, the real problem is a frame rate issue. If the enemy is moving toward you or away from you in a straight line or sitting still you can aim directly onto them and score legit shots on the enemy. However IF the enemy is moving left to right rather they are strafing, jumping, or sprinting. You have to lead the enemy in the direction they are moving. I believe that is somewhat proof that the game just needs a little image refocusing. IMO basically what is happening is the game is moving faster than we can see. What is happening in the game is things are happening faster and due to frame rate issues we see them half a second to maybe even a full second late.


I am a controller player who currently uses 50-60 sensitivity. Not sure if there is any more information you need to try to zero in on this and have this fixed immediately. I have faith that you guys can zero in on this problem and fix it with haste. Don't let me down!


I have this thread also in the feedback/request thread but I think this is probably where it should be.

What you're describing is called network latency, not framerate. Nevertheless, there are ways to account for this and help remove it's impact. Hopefully CCP is listening.

Yeah after today I have decided to mcc till it is fixed.

After doing the swan death dance in my logi standard suit against a proto assault amarr, it must have been a 2 minute battle. I have shield regens and armor reppies so we would engage for a few seconds then reload and recharge, then rinse and repeat for around 2 min as he killed me with only 78 armor hp left.

The fact was one of us should have died within the first 30 seconds not 2 minutes. It was because the bullets were not registering, plain and simple. That has to do with framerate, lag and aim acceleration trash.

Ya fighting a Scout is ridiculously annoying as well. They are so fast you can't predict where their real body is. If they are speed modded forget about it you are just shooting at ghosts. "Spray and Pray"

Yeah it makes me gag a little actually, beings I hav(d)e such high hopes for dust.

Well hopefully if we remain strong and do not falter we can win this battle and turn the tide in the right direction. With some more support we can make it known as a Dust problem worthy of attention and efforts.

I'm throwing my hat in this ring. Using a hit or miss weapon, (shotgun) today's PC battles were,,, guesswork and full of What? No! Bullshit! .....dead moments. In a first person shooter... the shooting comes first.

With SP systems, proto gear, spy networks and welcome to new Eden flag waving, its starting to look like skill doesn't count for nearly as much as it should.

On a brighter note I'm considering the current PC a beta, and the end game long haul me and my friends shooting other people on proper and fair terms on both sides a thing I can look forward to at some point in the future. One day.

Hi,

Based on my limited knowledge of the networking code, we do have some mechanism to reduce the effect of latency, not sure exactly if that system covers the case you've mentioned.

I've forwarded the post to the programmer responsible for the networking code and we'll investigate.

Thanks for bringing this up.

Ever since Uprising my shotgun shots fly right through people 50-70% of the time. Tired of losing CreoDron's over it.

It's amazing when you see the 'particles' hit them in the face and they take no damage.

Aiming is not fine, and the problems are not due to what's described in this thread. This is a separate issue (a very real issue however ;)). I don't know what's causing it, maybe the PS3 can't quite handle the new graphics and models don't get rendered where they should be (enemy movement isn't exactly smooth, especially not in close quarters), or maybe the hit box and model didn't line up for some reason... or whatever lag compensation there is was broken in Uprising (most other things were so why not that ;)).

What I do know is that my hits don't always register, this is quite easy to see when using the shotgun. Yeah, I wouldn't trust a subjective "OMG I did *not* miss that shot" either, but I also get kills when I clearly missed the target... that is I've seen the swarm of bullets go past the enemy model and cursed the sluggish movement/aiming. The unexpected +50 just means one broken feature was cancelled out by another broken feature, not sure that is a good thing.

I know for a fact the problem is NOT the PS3 can't handle this game. The graphics on this game are not over the charts by any means I have seen other games go a lot crazier with their graphics. Hell I would say COD has more graphics than this and yes that is bad hit detection but that is because they took short cuts and no dedicated server.

Somebody pointed out IF you go to 480 resolution the game is better. I did this and it actually worked. So it's connected to higher resolution= break lower resolution=fixed I just don't wanna play a PS2 game on my PS3 is why I don't keep it at 480p.

+1 yeah that would explain the issues people are having, i figured it was something to do with hitboxes and hit detection back to the good old days but what you say makes sense so it is quite possible hopefully it is resolved
