New multiplayer game releases usually come with some unexpected issues, and XDefiant was no exception due to its “ridiculous” hit registration. However, a dev was quick to address hit reg issues following player complaints.
XDefiant didn’t take long to break Ubisoft player count records after launch. This is made all the more impressive considering many players have pointed out an issue that significantly affects gameplay known as hit registration.
Hit reg relates to the game‘s capacity to detect the impact of bullets accurately. If it doesn’t function as intended, it messes with players’ visual perception in-game and allows enemies to dodge fire more easily.
In response to a post mentioning a community-driven petition to fix XDefiant‘s hit reg, Executive Producer Mark Rubin responded that they’re working to fix the issue. However, he didn’t share any date or timeframe for when this fix could arrive in the game.
