Vectis Scope View Problem. Dunno Abt Othr Sniper Rifles.

[Cpt.Shockwave]

Quite earlier , when vectis came in the market , i liked it very much so i built it. Its an awesome sniper rifle and my fav rifle in the game too. we switch to scope view it looked like normal and was accurate. After some days i had to go offline for several months due to some problems. After 12th update i came back online. So i updated the game and was quite excited. A lot of things changed. So i thought lets do some runs , my vectis still needed to be ranked up. I started a run , then i noticed the scope textures are changed , didn't minded that. I usually try to shoot enemies in the head. I found a grineer walking , un aware of me , so i switched to scope view and aimed at his head. Took my time and fired , i was pretty sure that the bullet will hit the head but it but it didn't , the bullet went right above his head. I thought i must have aimed wrong. I tried it several time but the bullet never hits the target the way it supposed to hit. It hits quite higher. When i shoot without the scope view (without holding the right click) it hits accurately. For eg (while in scope view) when i hit target the chest , the bullet hits the head. I checked for solution , saw it somewhere when you decrease your resolution to 800x600 , this problem no longer exist. I tried it worked but its not that much fun to play in 800X600 res. Any one other experiencing this problem? I hope this problem will be taken a bit seriously , i really like that sniper rifle ^^ . Don't know if other sniper rifles are experiencing the same problem. And hope you all forgive and ignore the grammatical mistake i made in this paragraph.

The issue is that the scope is just an 800x600 image, crosshairs and all. All snipers are this way. The only scope that is not this way is the Codex Scanner, which is actually vector like the rest of the UI.

I see the problem is there for a bit long time. Is there any other way to overcome this problem except setting your resolution to 800X600?

I don't understand the technical side of the issue, but I would speculate that what's happening is your resolution is a different aspect ratio than 800x600. 800x600 is a 4:3 ratio between the two dimensions. If you're playing on 1280 x 720 -which is 16:9 aspect ratio- it may cause the game to stretch the 800x600 scope image to fit the 16:9 ratio and that skewing of the image moves the crosshair away from center. 

 

To solve this, I would try playing in a resolution that is also 4:3 aspect ratio. I play in 1600x1200 and have never had the problem, so although I'm not CERTAIN, I think there's a good chance this will work.

 

4:3 ratio resolutions:

800x600

1024x768

1152x864

1280x960

1400x1050

1600x1200

On 1024x768 the Vectis scope is lower than it actually is for me. Only turning red when I bring it further down, to around the enemy's chest/stomach.

 

Try 1280x800, 1280x768, 1024x600. Those resolutions didn't give me any trouble, but that might be because I'm playing windowed mode.
