Hit Validation - Anyone else getting bad hits again?

I've been getting hit a lot recently through pallets, I know they made changes so killers would have less "false" hits on their end, but just wondering what everyone's experience recently has been.

Also to my players who play a lot of killers, are you still getting those fake hits where the survivor screams/blood flies out but they don't lose a health state?

    Funny thing I have been getting tons of false hits lately especially near pallets like they do the getting hit moan but are completely fine


    But on the survivor side I get hit when I'm clearly away from the dropped pallet



    So moral of the story pallet hits needs to be fixed lol

    Might wanna check your internet mate, I haven't been validated through a pallet in a few days actually.

    I would agree with you except the times I had those situations most of my games were lag free and when they did happen during a laggy game I blamed my internet lol so when it's not lagging I blame the game but when it does I blame my internet lol

    its the first thing I check, it's happening in games where I have like 30 ping, so i Just assume the killer is laggy and they get validated tbh

    See it both ways, Pallets that hit me when im not next to it, like Anna suddenly became a Horse, or Hatchets that register after the surv is behind a wall.

    If you got hit through a pallet, it means they hit you on the server. So it's still working as intended.

    Par for the course on this game so it's hard to say since it has never consistently functioned properly. I had to get off tonight because I was over some of the BS hits in my last few matches as survivor. I'm talking swings that would miss and you'd hear that they missed and after the animation was finished and they were recovering from the swing the game would then decide to validate it. Pretty good job so far.

    I play between 30 and 50 ping. So yeah

    Oh, yeah, they definitely nerfed validation which should be impossible if the server was deciding. But luckily my server stopped with the survivor bias and started giving me consistent trades again. However, as a survivor... Ha ha ha... I can see why you guys defended it so heavily. I will miss it.
