Closed - 2 Problems at once

[Wirths]

Name: Christian Wirths

Rank: Private

Type of issue: Software

Brief Description of Issue: Hi, Medical Officers,

i wonder if you can Help me with a strange issue im having on our public Server sometimes.

It does seem as if Hits just wont register.

Background Info:

Country: Germany

Normal Ping: 110-130

LERP: 100

Settings:

"cl_cmdrate" = "66.666664" ( def. "30" ) min. 10.000000 max. 100.000000

"cl_updaterate" = "66" ( def. "20" )

"cl_interp_all" = "0"

"cl_interp_ratio" = "2" ( def. "2.0" )

"cl_interp" = "0.100000" ( def. "0.1" ) min. 0.000000 max. 0.500000

"cl_lagcompensation" = "1"

"cl_smooth" = "1"

"rate" = "30000"

Example of Error:

Map: de_colonia

Weapon: Garand

Enemy: Soldier with back towards me

Range: 10-15 meters

Shoots: 5

Hits: 0

Situation:

I was standing with a Garant behind a non Moving target Maybe 10-15 Meters a way. He was standing behind counter watching the steps to cellar, i was coming from behind in the room with the hole on the far left side viewed from the allied spawn. I took 5 shoots without moving and did not hit once (He startet moving around third shoot).

Other:

Sometimes i am so close to someone that he fills my entire middle screen, shoot with k98 without moving and do not hit.

This is extremly annoying as i usually see enemys first and get the first shot, but even if im sure its a good shot i dont hit.

I use the dynamic crosshair, so with good shoot i mean a shoot at medium distance on a non moving target with a unscoped rifle with steady/small dynamic crosshair.

If you have any Ideas on improving this i would be glad.

My Second Problem is more biological

Im color-blind with a red/green weakness, sometimes i dont see my crosshair very well with changing background, you dont have any info on what is a good setting for colorblinds?

Current Settings:

cl_crosshair_red "88.349998"

cl_crosshair_green "255.000000"

cl_crosshair_blue "0.000000"

cl_crosshair_alpha "200"

cl_crosshair_file "crosshair2"

cl_crosshair_scale "48.000000"

cl_dynamic_crosshair "1"

this looks like a bright green to me, and its ok... not perfekt ^^

Please use the MSO helpdesk form when posting a ticket in the future Wirths. (I've filled it out for you this time.)

Your network settings in your config are almost identical to mine except for cl_interp_ratio. Does your lerp ever turn yellow or orange? If so you might need to tweak your settings.

You can try launching a local game and first typing "sv_cheats 1", then "sv_showimpacts 1". Try emptying a Garrand a few times. Your impacts should be purple, if you have a problem you'll see two separate blue and red marks (red for client, blue for server). It may happen occasional which isn't an issue, but if it happens regularly you may have a problem.

I couldn't find any colour blind settings for your crosshair but I'll keep looking.

[Wirths]

No Lerp is not chaninging color it keeps white

[Bradley 1st MRB]

Have you had a chance to run a local game and try out the commands I suggested?

[Wirths]

On a Garand there is maybe one red hit when im shooting on local server. With Thompson for example its all purple if i dont move, if i strafe behind cover i get 3-5 red hits in a mag.

[Bradley 1st MRB]

Nothing seems to be a miss there. You could try lowering your lerp, however plenty of people play with 100ms and have no reg issues.

I'll keep researching for now and allow other technicians to hop on.

Any changes in this situation Wirths? Do we need further research on this topic?

[Wirths]

Does seem to have reduced latly. maybe it was just an issue that fixed itself with a restart of the server.

[Bradley 1st MRB]

I experienced a similar issue a few days back. I got a noticeable drop in my reg for maybe a few minutes but then it was fine. Seems like this will happen on the pub from time to time. Ticket closed.
