I was in a match recently, playing as Sniper when I see a Sin standing on top of a barrier wall, I shot and got a headshot. Then the sin says that they was fully cloaked but on my end they were not.This happened again and they started accusing me of hacking. But I did seem to notice that while they run they are invisible but when they stand sometimes they are shown uncloaked. It maybe a bug/glitch but only happened in those 2 instances and never again. As I also play Sin and if this is happening then it a serious problem. Do some of you have this issue?
Did this by any chance happen on GrenADEiii arena? Also the Assassin's cloak does not make her completely invisible.
No it was the LaseRazor Arena. I know that, but they weren't the see thru team color, they were fully uncloaked.
I have never heard of that happening. For all you know their cloak ran out and they we just looking for a reason other then their "mistake."
lvl 3 cloak is completely invisible even standing directly in front of someone i love doing it to enemy snipers and have them randomly spam grapple trying to find me
At a distance you are supposed to be completely invisible. With lv3 cloak when you are immobile you are supposedly completely invisible at any distance. As i've found out that doesn't appear to be the case in either case. I have had this happen to me in some places where i really should not have been seen at all. Yes it did happen once on G3 - Why is this significant? The sniper in question had no idea i was even on that side of the map at the time before apparently seeing me. I hadn't dashed, cloak was 3/4 full, nobody knew i was there. Some kind of known bug?
Lighting is fucked up on Grenade III so you can see cloaked sins there. That's probably what he meant.
cloaked sins show up as a faint red or blue shadow on grenade III after the lighting changes very easy to pick up when you know what you are looking for there is a thread on here somewhere about it with some screenshots of it
Though to be clear, this bug actually happens on all arenas, as it is a shader-related fog issue (all arenas have fog and use the same shader, thus all arenas are subject to this bug). Only the color of the fog determines how easy it is to see the cloaked Assassin. Grenade III Arena has a fairly obvious color, but so does LazerRazor Arena. It just doesnt get cited as often on LazerRazor Arena because the way the arena is designed makes it much harder to ever see an Assassin at all (cloaked or not) at a long range, unlike in Grenade III Arena where it is quite common to see other players from across the map.

..right. I guess next time i see that sniper online i owe him an apology. :lol: I knew something was up... but wow, that's irritating. sometimes you just need to stop moving for a moment to lose people. I'll have to adjust how i work till the next patch to prevent any.. uhhh... mishaps.
Glad to know its a bug but damn sucks for the Sin looks like I'm a play more sniper 'till this is fixed
