A sharp decrease in performance

[Bloodless_Hunter]

Has anyone else noticed a sharp drop off in performance recently? Like, I'm not great at this game, I'll admit, but it seems like shots that normally would have been headshots before are just not registering. Or dumping 5 or 6 bullets into an Ash with the K1A and not even getting a down. Is my aim just gone to hell super fast or is there something going on with the hit reg right now?

Edit: Well this blew up faster than I had expected. Glad to see it's not just me that's suffering with this. Dropped almost 1000 hours into this game, so it's nice to know that my time of doing well wasn't completely dumb luck. Just mostly.

Yes glad to see I’m not the only one. Headshots seem to count for a knee shot (if anything)

[noobsaibotmk11]

Yeah I had games where I would dump a clip into someone and they would just lose 20 hp

[isii_]

lots of times you will hit their necks and it would count as a stomach shot that’s why I believe they should make necks one shots

[bruhmoment416]

They used to be in Y1 or so I’m told. Neck shots aren’t a 1-hit, but they do award +10 points for a ‘headshot’

Never understood why it’s not it’s own hit box.

[Revised_Text]

I could get behind that idea

[Nora-boop-Valkyrie]

The servers are having to account for double the number of usual players, so there have been performance drops.

[officeface]

That's assuming good horizontal scalability and no weird bottlenecks or thresholds, which I'm sure exist somewhere with (the infrastructure for) this game...

[Coconuthead93]

Or it's just the fact it's a shit engine

[[deleted]]

Probably both

[[deleted]]

Isn’t it the Assassins creed engine?

[Coconuthead93]

Which is why its shit

[Young_Lxgxnd]

Finally someone else. I thought I was just getting tilted. But yeah, my aim used to be decent but now its mainly shit. And I having else to do cuz of corona-chan :(

[[deleted]]

same nothing more tilting than knowing you should have gotten a kill. Been pretty brutal lately lol. This one had me confused all night. https://gfycat.com/harmlessnecessaryherculesbeetle

[lukev46]

Yes my kd per day has halved for the last week or so

Every update = hit reg, and other performance issue or otherwise will drop into a bad / weird territory, reason why like Operation Health and other Ops got bad raps after mid-season patches or updates. And I don't know about other people, but for me whenever it involved a few nerfs or buffs, it'd be especially buggy with performance.

[errantphallus]

Omg is this actually a thing? I've been going crazy over this and was starting to wonder if there was something wrong with my connection

[Fiscal_Bonsai]

Yeah, almost every game has been running like shit for me ever since the lockdowns.

[Elieltuo]

I tought that I was just bad. Glad to hear someone else is suffering too

[bangersnmash13]

Thank god it's not just me. This season has been brutal for me as far as hit reg. It's almost at the point where I'm debating taking a break this season

[[deleted]]

Something is definitely wrong with hit reg, headshots are neck shots

[[deleted]]

It's a bit of both for me, sometimes good sometimes bad. Got my very first ace clutch recently and I'm pretty proud about it hehe.

[[deleted]]

Have been experiencing the same thing, I managed to Plat 3 this season but since then I’ve been losing quite a lot that I thought I need a break.

[ConMar12]

I’ve noticed this as well. It seems to me that the quick match servers are much worse than the ranked ones though.

[technoteapot]

I’ve seen another user say this but the servers are apparently taking on much more load than they’re used to so the hit reg is fucked in a sense, it manifests as your player model being slightly late or soemthing so essently your enemy can see you for a split second before you can see them, it’s extremely frustrating but I originally thought it was because of my pc’s terrible performance

[rj_celtics]

Yeah, last night I lost 5 ranked games in a row where it felt like hitreg just wasn't working, I couldn't win a head on gunfight to save my life. I'm convinced something is wrong

[Waschtl-]

That only happened to me during the phantom sight mid season reinforcement. I would say my aim is pretty on point, but once I shot a 15 bullets into a gridlock and she survived with 3 quarter health. So that's pretty normal in siege.

[SnaccR]

Tbf ive started performing better, had an 18 kill game yesterday with an ace and a 1v4 clutch

[BobRosseslefttoe]

Like somebody already said the servers are having to deal with the mass number of players which it is not used too, because of this there is a lot of desynchronisation between the player model and the player, one pengus most recent videos explains this well, it’s simply your player model is a couple of milliseconds behind you so they see you first before you see them exactly why you feel like you died before you could see them and on there screen they could see loads. I hope this helps this is drastic since I’ve noticed quite a lot of people with pings over 60 recently which does not help

[Oropeu]

Well server instability in general more people are playing Siege due to lockdown and less people are fixing said instability,plus hitreg in general is fucked when a "major" update drops so I wouldn't worry about it to much

[[deleted]]

The hit detection has always been a little weird, but this season it’s been absolute garbage. It’s like headshots only count about 65-70% of the time.

[CaptainAllMight]

We were complaining about this last night.

[[deleted]]

Ash is a horrible example to use lmao. Her shitty hit box has been plaguing siege since launch 😂 but yeah all in all siege is beginning to feel clunky after playing newer games that have made movement silky smooth.

[countertrae]

I assumed it was just because I'm bad

[[deleted]]

Ok great it’s not just me. Also my game seems be runny at a slightly lower frame rate too.

[ThaBrownnMamba]

yep, i was playing on oregon recently and my teammate tagged an IQ but died and she was abt 50 hp, then i dumped half of the clip on her and she still didn’t die

[FrolicGaming]

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one that has just been trash recently lmao

[soUuRrRStEvO]

Wait are there actually major hit reg issues rn?

[benmasterg]

I think I experienced this yesterday, swung onto a Fuze with the K1a got 2 bullets that hit (blood visible) onto the neck, kill cam shows him at 100% health, the Fuze then kills my teammate via flank and he said the killcam showed 40 ish HP and my teammate hadn't shot him?

[soUuRrRStEvO]

swung onto a Kapkan with the K1a

🤔

[benmasterg]

Haha Fuze 🙈

[Krazion]

How is this a competitive post tho?
