3rd person vs. 1st person [ironsight glitch]

[Vanadizzle]

Hello,

 

I finally decided to record a video of a glitch that has been bugging me since release. I love playing in 3rd person, yet sometimes I seem to miss all shots while aiming down in 3rd person. I switch to ego perspective and realize my focus was completely off (see video).

Thankfully, it only happens occasionally, although I would like to know wether its an issue with mods or the game engine itself.

I tried using a mod for better shoulder cam, which seemed to increase the amount of occurances, but that could've been subjective. Has anybody else experienced this issue?

 

Other than a handful of gameplay mods, I'm also using Fallout NV- reanimated, and Type3 Body+Armor replacer.

 

PS: ;) I was reloading, that psycho Chris is still alive~

:blink: wow...its waaaaaaaaaay out....i did have a problem kinda like that but it was totally a modded gun that was the culprit..

 

unfortunalty i dont know how or why yours would be out that bad, does it happen with every gun you use or just one?

Nope, happened with a lot of guns. Even before I installed mods with custom weapons, so I dont think its them. I`ll try to monitor it further and make more vids when it happens again

 

[edit]the assault rifle was a standard service rifle though, 3rd was the standard .44Magnum revolver

The problem is to do with perspective. When you change to 3rd person view the camera is looking over your shoulder, not through your characters eyes. However the cursor remains in the center of your camera view, NOT where your characters eyes are focusing on if that makes any sense. This means that what you think your shooting at is actually a little to the right of where your bullets are going.

 

As far as i know there is no way to fix this without a major rewrite of the game code.
