Problem with crits being awarded

[shifty]

it seems that if you kill the game before your sortie ends it is impossible for anyone to get a crit against you

[Tigger6]

Easy to test. Good catch if this is what is causing it. In fact sometimes when crit was not awarded, the shooter or target CTDed on despawn.

i think its true because i got killed a few days ago. Pilot dead and plane hitting the ground. my game locked up so i killed the process and no one got kill on me.

Not with the explode = RTB though. I had that happen to me 3 times since 1.31 and I didn't CTD.

[shifty]

just got killed by bofors and then i killed the process and guy didnt get kill

[levesque]

see it twice yesterdays

i see a 109e1 otw to bouchain just before the heavy dogfight and few good shot of cannon and explode .. 5 to 10 min later i see another 109e1 deck im chase him , few good shot right wing gone . after that rtb and NO KILL ?

probably the same guys but its bad ..a kind of cheat

I predict plug pullers go up four hundred thousand fold at this rate.

Am gonna test it on ground. Those guys won't be so pissed for stealing their kill.

Ok, doesn't work on ground. You get RTB, but the crit is still awarded.

It's only an air thing....

I know the system is bugged if you get sexploded or if you get plinked and hit the ground. I think if you blow someones wing off and you dont get the kill it is a dead giveaway.

A simple fix to this seems to be to change the "lost connection" mission result from RTB to MIA. The reason this happens is (I think) that RTB automatically means that critical damage gets negated. And of course mission results for game crash/disconnect are RTB as they always used to be.

I have to say that this bug is a pretty good find.

Seems yesterday none of my kills got into summary stats? I see them in my sorties, but not in the totals? Did the stats page being down yesterday affect the totals?

sounds logical to me.

New rules state damage (even crit) with RTB = No kill.

If someone loses connection to host or kills game = automatic RTB = no kill.

Needs fixing.

I'll have to talk to Oli about this. that's technically not how it works (you don;t get an RTB because you lost connection) but the premise seems sound.
