I posted this solution to another topic but it seems that quite a few people have similar issues so I might as well make a new topic for it.

Now you played the multi player demo everything is fine...you are spraying head shots "like a boss" but despite your aim being spot on they are just not registering. Then you view your targets kill cam and you notice that you missed everything when it should have hit?

One of the problems could you your Internet connection but in that case I hope you can figure out how to find a correct server to play on.

The other more important "problem" is how your GPU drivers render out frames...which isn't exactly in real time. For Nvidia I know that it defaults to a maximum pre render of 3 frames which can have a huge impact on your game play.

Lets say that your frame rate is 30 frames per second which means that what you are seeing on your screen can be 100ms late even before you count in your Internet latency (which in most cases is less then this). But luckily we can turn it down to 0. For Nvidia go to Control Panel->Manage 3D settings-maximum pre render frames (set to 0).



The lower your frame rate the more impact this will have on you but keep in mind that if it is too low (your FPS) you might have some issues with things feeling choppy. In this case try a setting of 1 or 2.

So to recap; someone with 50ms to your server and 30FPS might have an actual latency (what you see) up to 3x higher in this case because of it. Set to 0.

I'm sorry but this is false. I've set it to 0 and played a few games, each with my latency going no higher than 50. My bullets are still firing off to one side of my opponent, rather than straight on where I see.

Honestly this did a lot for me, especially in the medium to somewhat close range combat. There was a dramatic improvement in my accuracy and response time but honestly I'm still a disaster at close range "dog fights".

Just remember that this can have less impact the higher your frame rate is and more if its low but at that extreme point it might not matter anymore.

It might also have little or no effect it your CPU is a bottleneck..
