As a PUBG game designer, can you explain how canceled shots work? If the server determines that one player shot first and thus a second player's shots don't count (which is a separate issue), why does the first player still receive (and animate) the second player's shots when they do no damage?
I would imagine that the client side of the game reacts to the impact of the bullet with an animation and then sends off a message to the server, but then the server gets the message and says 'nope, you the person that shot you is dead already so you don't take any damage'.
This is just my guess since I don't work in this area.
Thank you Micro for the bug report.
I've forwarded this to the team.

Any news on that?
As much as I'd like to drop a mysterious teaser comment on things like this, it really wouldn't be a cool thing to do to our guys who put their time into making promo materials since it would lower the surprise impact factor of such announcements. It's also kind of rough on our teams who work directly on big showy features for someone else who isn't on that team to publicly put pressure on them to release something that hasn't been announced yet.
All I can really say here is that these placeholders aren't for show, we are actively discussing, trying out, and building new stuff that could show up here. When that would be and what it would look like is something you'll just have to wait and see.
Well this is weird! I just checked my Steam account again. The message now shows:
Your VAC ban in PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS has been removed. We apologize, it looks like we made a mistake and have removed this false ban. You should now be able to play in VAC secured game servers within this game again. Please see our Valve Anti-Cheat System (VAC) Article for more information about how VAC Bans are applied.
Even more strange is that as we do not use Valve Anti-Cheat and therefore we do not actually issue VAC bans at all.
Hey Phetz. I just looked into the account you linked and see no active ban.
I've asked our AC team to look into any bans recently placed on your account and will find out what could have gone wrong.
I see.
Make sure hard spawns for vehicles is top priority :) It's the most game breaking in ranked at the moment.
Yea we've received that feedback a lot. It's not really up to only me, but for what it's worth I'd like to move in that direction too.
Fairly happy with that myself.
However as the pro-scene is moving away from Sanhok and as a competetive PUBG player myself, I no longer have any need to play Sanhok in ranked either. Ranked should mimic the PRO scene as much as possible.
That being said, just apply SUPER settings already :)
The end goal is for sure to have Ranked eventually be as similar in game settings to SUPER as possible. The plan right now is to move in that direction over time - sometimes Ranked will change to get closer to SUPER, and sometimes SUPER will change to get closer to Ranked.
Yeah it appears he's not banned yet u/PUBG_McClutch
This is my fault sorry, turns out I missed one 9 in the username but that name existed and was permanently banned (confusing) - will follow up on this again.
Just chipping in to say thank you to the community guys for replying to a lot of the cheater posts recently letting us know they're banned. There were very few replies a while ago but its really refreshing to see you guys interact, even if its to say these guys are getting the ban hammer. I appreciate that
We want them out as much as you all do, thank you for the kind words!
Respect the shot and the reaction. Need more of both!
This will be sorted after maintenance, I do believe!
I think what happened here is the new week's missions ticked over as we hit maintenance time, but maintenance actually just started a minute or so past the hour.
Banned.
Will follow up and report/ban these accounts - please send me anymore that you run into, cheers.
hey - just wanted to say thanks.
I'd like to hear PUBG pitch in to why this happens...most of my friends have a similar distribution. inb4 'bad RNG'
Hi u/hwinn123 I'd like to research your account a bit. Do you mind sending me your in game name? Thanks!
Cheers Brian, this is creepy, I am listening to your voice atm on the podcast. Am enjoying what I am hearing. Thanks for everything you are doing!
Midnight here, up reading Reddit. Thank you actually :)
Sorry, fat fingers, you know what I mean
Thanks. Hawkinz fixed it up and removed the old Season logo.
Is it actually evolving, or is there locks in place until you release Skynet and later Terminator series? Lol
Shhh! We can't take over the world if the skynet plan is revealed too early.
