Throwing Knife Hitreg

    Anyone else tried throwing knives recently and noticed that they hitreg about 50% of the time now, or is this just me?

    I constantly see the flinch animation and hear the impact sound, but with no damage or hit marker. It's quite common for me to hitreg with throwing knives 2-3 times in a row now.

    Several times I've tried to kill boarders just for my weapons to have 0 effect and the scenario ends with me getting blunder-launched off of my own ship or sword-lorded when my opponent(s) should have died twice already.

    Anyone else noticing unreasonably high ping and needlessly awful server stability since the last update?

    I stay out of pvp but it still has the same problems in pve. ( bone dust & ghost bits can block a knife, direct hits not doing damage or sploding kegs.

    yes i’ve noticed it as well as someone who loves using knives. ever since the previous update when they got rid of the wide hit box, the knives went from great to terrible. I am personally of the opinion that the change to the hit box was a mistake because of hit reg not being guaranteed. I found no reason to change the knives as they were fine as is, I’d go as far to say that wide hit box was A necessary evil to reduce the amount hit reg issues.
