Meteorite etc missiles flying through hulls

[applecat144]

Hello,

Sometimes when I shot Meteorite Missiles at a capship they fly trough the hull without detonating, and sometimes detonate later into the hull but not where I aimed.

This is really annoying when you try to destroy surface comonents on a capship ....

That is usually a symptom of a system somehow being stressed by the game and/or suffering microlags and stutters that interfere with the collision detection stepping. Your system details and some information on your in-game fps and how smoothly the game plays for you would be useful.

I see this occasionally with V Crushers, most obviously when fired at Targon Tracers since the model is small enough that I notice the timeout explosion in the distance.

Can't find my original bug report but it was probably pre-2.50.

MB: ReAct MSI Z97 SLI
CPU: i5 4670K @ 4.3GHz
GPU: KFA2 Geforce GTX 770 (2048MB GDDR5)
RAM: 16GB (2x8GB) @ 2400MHz
Game drive: OCZ 256GB Agility 4 SSD

I've not measured in-game FPS for a while but I think it was in the order or 30+ and I don't think my observations of the issue have been under lag. It's just generally been me shooting Skunk V Crushers and guns at a Targon Tracer in Wrecksville in an earlier plot game (circa 3.0 beta-era).

Here's my setup

MB : MSI H87 G43
CPU : i5 4570
GPU : Radeon HD 7850 - 2Go
RAM : 8 Go

The game is running between 33 and 38 FPS during a fight between 2 Taranis in Auspicious Excavation. It's always smooth.

So is this something that started happening with a new update (which?) or was it always happening for you?

I'd say it started with 3.5 but I'm not totally sure about it.

I probably first bug-reported it sometime in 2.xx but I cannot find the thread with google and I've made too many posts to look back though them

Its very easy to reproduce with dumbfire missiles. I know that it is somewhere listed as a task, just there was so much other stuff with higher priority for this person :/

seems like these fire and pray types just go through the bigger ships. sometimes they will explode on turrets and stuff but mostly it goes right through. i have to time it right and shoot them to make them explode to do damage. i dont run scripts and i didnt edit anything ever.
