    Not sure if this is the right place to write this as I am new to forums , but sometimes when I shoot people with my sniper rifle it doesn’t do any damage even though it’s a direct hit . This happens at least once a game . And I am not the only one having this problem other people in our guild our reporting the same thing . If this isn’t the right place to write this ,can someone please tell me where I can make a complaint to the right people .

    It sounds like latency. When you shoot another player, there are actually 3 versions of the game happening: one on your phone, one on their phone, and one on the server. While they are all very similar, they are slightly out of sync, because they all take a few milliseconds to update eachother over the internet. Sometimes this means that you can see a hit on your screen, but the server shows a miss.

    If you don’t have a stable connection, then latency can be quite severe.

    Do you have a replay of it happening? The replays show what the server saw, so you should be able to see if it was really a hit.

    So I’ve been checking replays and it’s definitely Shots not registering, take a look at the last two shots of the game where I’m trying to kill the speeder.

    Fortunately I don’t know how to do it it’s copy to my clipboard but I’m not very tech savvy so I don’t know how to do it

    Go to the battle results screen and click on the # on the top right, it should automatically copy.

    Can you watch the video and see what you think last two shots on the speed at the end of the game , this is just one example I can give you many others as it happens quite often

    You are correct, the last shot definitely appears to break on the tip of his gun, and there is no splash from the shot going into water.

    I’m not 100% sure how the collisions work, but perhaps because his turret was reversed, the tip of the gun extended slightly outside the ship’s hitbox.

    Definitely curious, @TheAntiSnipe

    It's a speeder bug .. the unregistered hits.

    It'll happen more and more as you climb infamy and more speeders have capped speed, especially with OB or nitro activated.

    It shows as a hit on their screen too but they take no damage.

    Basically they're too fast for the game to register properly - and it can't be fixed without reducing their speed (which isn't going to happen).

    Very weird!
    Maybe it is time to buff sniper.
    What do you think @ViscountSniffit ?
