Hi, I'm new to the forums and have been playing Soldat for a few days now. I'm learning all the ins and outs of the game pretty quickly. However, recently I've been noticing some players with super agility while in the air that doesn't seem possible. I would throw a grenade or shoot one from the m79 at an enemy player dead on mid air. Normally in that circumstance death is absolute, however they manage to quickly dodge it milliseconds before it hits them with a quick boost up or down. Is this some sort of difficult air maneuver to pull off or is the player simply cheating? Has anyone else experienced a similar situation?

Mind you, the times this has happened my target was suspended in air and wasn't moving in any direction to begin with. Just floating in one spot, then suddenly gains a burst of speed and dodges the grenade effortlessly.

Hey, I think I've seen you in-game. Welcome to Soldat and the forums.

I think what you are describing is bug called an 'eat'. Many, many times in Soldat, hits don't register 100% the way they should. The impact of the hit is completely the same, except that it deals no damage. In the case of an explosive (m79, LAW, grenade, etc.), the person who was hit will usually fly through the air a lot faster than they were before but take no damage.

I've experienced this too... it's similar to an eat/hit bug but doesn't involve the grenade exploding.. just passing very close to them and they seem to almost be repelled by it.

As far as I know it's just to do with lag, it's definately not a cheat it happens to everyone on internet servers.

It's just that you don't see the grenade spark, you made hit, but it don't show up, it's due to lag, and it's very irritant... it isn't any kind of hack, it's just lag...

OK I get it now. Still, it's very annoying when it happens

I hate hit lags. Particularly since I have an affinity for 1-hit weapons (I.E. Barrett/Law). It happens quite a bit with the 82 as well. Which I hate. Quite a lot.

yeah it's annoying it even happens when i play on clanplanet servers, as far as i remember it never used to do this in previous versions, or at least, you would see the explosion ect..

It's because the grenade hits on your targets (and explodes) screen blowing them around. However on your screen the nade (for whatever reason) is slightly behined where the nade was on their screen, meaning that the effect of the explosion on their screen means that the target gets moved out of the way.

Also, because a hit will only damage if it hits on your screen (most of the time) the target gets away unharmed because the nade never touched on your screen, even though it did on theirs.

What I hate worst is when people complain about it and blame it on you. What are we supposed to do?

excruciator · « **Reply #19 on:** December 21, 2007, 06:23:21 pm »

I think you can actually make a double hit with that.. you throw a nade, it hits him, the nade doesnt explode(but he still gets dmg) then with the burst of speed he lands to where the nade is, and boom. hes dead.
