Hit Registration Issues for High Ping Survivors with The Trickster

NetworkLagDesync

Status:	Duplicate
Added by:	Anonymous on April 2, '26
Reported for:	9.5.2
Actual Result:	Knife hits not registering
Expected Result:	Knife hits registering
Severity:	Blocker
Reproducibility:	Frequently
Platform:	Steam
Additional Notes & Comments:	There are several theories abound as to what is causing this issue. I have heard that there is an animation/hitbox desync where the survivor in question will have a hitbox that matches them repairing a generator and not sprinting. Other people say this is due to hit validation. Other people say this is just a ping related desync. Regardless, this is incredibly frustrating. Any survivor who's willing to use a VPN can make themselves nearly IMMUNE to your power.

Steps to Reproduce

Play as the Trickster.
Throw a knife at a survivor with high ping.
The hit will randomly not register or sometimes register if you miss them entirely.

Explanation

Survivors that have high ping, usually 100+ ping, are INCREDIBLY difficult to hit with The Trickster's blades. To the point where it feels genuinely impossible.

In the clip shown this Eddie eats almost the entirety of my main event, and then an additional dagger thrown while he's standing completely still that directly hits his center mass, and NONE of them register.

This person had a consistent ping of 100+.
