I was in NM2 [on versus] just leaving the safe room and a hunter got somebody so i meleed it off and it crouched and started clawing me i was looking directly at it while i was next to it on the stairs and my melee wasn't registering [i assume this is from glitch patch making hunters harder to melee] so he got 3 hunter swipes on me [18 hp] before it finally meleed his ass which i then squashed into a fine past. either boost the melee when your right beside a hunter looking straight at it whos not pouncing, and make it just when he is pouncing to be harder to melee or when he crouching or something

I'm not entirely sure this is because of the update, it's happened to me a few times before as well.

Seeing as that's over, here's what annoys me from patch:

SLIDING / BOUNCING OFF SURVIVOR HEADS / BODIES AS A HUNTER....!?

I would repeatedly pounce from 25 spots and hit either the survivor's body or head and be seemingly pushed out of the way as if they were just an object, pounce failing to register.

Maybe it was just repeated unlucky lag / rego. I know one other person in the game said they also experienced similar on a different server, after patch.

Can anyone else confirm?

Guys let's be realistic..

They just released a patch fixing a *shitload* of bugs and exploits..
I think they're aware that the game has issues, trust me, I've been on dev teams for other mods and I know how it works.. once they release one patch, they will look for regressions and new issues from the stuff they fixed, and they will work on that. Any new bugs that pop up, and they know more will, are going to be looked at as well.

There is no way that valve won't "fix it" if they are aware of it.

This was a huge update and not that long after the last one, they deserve some credit. :)

Did I forget to say "woo valve"? Heh ;P

Of course they deserve credit, it's obvious from that massive patch, and of course we're happy, I'm just pointing something else out...

Here's me giving them credit: /inserts coin

I just thought that the issue I posted arose from the patch and I was annoyed with it because it made playing hunter far less effective in the game I just played. I just posted it in the forum to see if it was widespread so it could be reported as a bug, or whether or not it was more likely just coincidental rego issues with the server, or lag.

Not bashing them in any way. Just discussing teh issuez. I understand it's in their best interests to fix whatever problems arise.

Cheers.

Happened to me several times before the patch. Best one was I was a hunter and for some reason it took all 3 survivors a good while to get me off a pinned louis. Got somthing like 10 hits off him while they were playing whack-attack with my head. Good times were had by all... as in me.

My problem is the server connections. I have very good and reliable internet, which is why I blame the game. A lot of people said it will be fixed today, so I'm gonna give that a try

SLIDING / BOUNCING OFF SURVIVOR HEADS / BODIES AS A HUNTER....!?

It happens before and after patch. Its really just a latency issue. You see the survivor somewhere and pounce on them, but due to latency, they are actually slightly ahead of where they are. When you "hit" them, it does not register with the server, because the server knows you missed, but your client is telling you otherwise, shoving you off of someone whos not really there.
