I've been playing this game for about 3 seasons now and i still suck but the amount of times ive shot someone but their ping is 100 or more so its not a headshot or i've shot someone in the head and its not a head shot because the game simply says no! How am i supposed to enjoy the game when i shoot someone yet it doesnt qualify as a headshot but they shot around me and its a headshot! or i peek at someone and they see my entire body but all i see is a ******g gun and i die!
Is this because the game is client sided not server sided? I've spoken to my ISP and they're not noticing any issues, i even had an engineer come around to check my internet out recently because i upgraded speeds from 50mb/s to 100mb/s, its not my pc cus i get more than 200 fps on my settings so it has to be the game not counting headshots and im sick and tired of this happening but its only been this season! can we get like an operation health again?
i dont have footage, but in one of my games, someone shot a flower pot and it was a meter away from my head, but it was still a headshot! This has happen many times and to me as well! i was playing smoke and this ash shot my head, i watched the kill cam after i pumped her. She shot my head but i was alive then i shot her and she died! and usually its the opposite... One final example is
im somewhat venting about this but mostly just annoyed and wondering is there a fix to this? is there a way i can make sure that when i shoot someone, or someone shoots me, it counts as a headshot or a body shot? ive looked at the trouble shooting and ive tried that so i dont know what other fixes there are.

Hey NeoJoker26, welcome to the forums!

Sorry to hear you are having trouble with headshots not registering

You mentioned you have tried some troubleshooting already, can I check what steps you have tried?

In the mean time I would recommend to follow these connectivity troubleshooting steps which will configure your network for the game

Any trouble just let us know
