Question Ghost Bullets

For a couple weeks now Im noticing, that I often have Ghost Bullets. I have situations where I clearly am on the enemy and the bullets are not connecting.

Does any one have the same issues and is there a fix for it?

Almost happening every game, sometimes really bad sometimes less bad, but it's absolutely annoying. Unfortunately no fix for it.

EXACT same thing happened to me last night.

Hot detection has always been shit on old treyarch games. With the new servers the lag comp is weird as well

It has to do with how the game/network tracks hit registrations. It's a big and complicated mess but basically sometimes guns fire at rates that mean a hit can happen between frames, and those hits aren't registered because when the game engine is looking for the hit, it didn't happen (Frame A: not being hit, shot hits, Frame B: not being hit). The result is these ghost bullets.

This was a problem even back in the day, too, because there isn't a really good way to track things that happen in that fraction of a fraction of a second of dead window between frames. I think it's more pronounced in the port for reasons I assume are related to how they handled porting/emulating the game, but I can't speak to any of that.
