For some reason the sniper rife quit working, it will register hits when I am virtually point blank range but no longer at any kind of distance.

I was on a hill and shot a guy maybe 50 game feet from me, first five rounds nothing, second five nothing, must not have been bullet noises either because he never budged but he kept shooting others on my team. I walked up to him and shot him in the head at about five game feet away and hit and killed him.

Not a fluke either same thing has been going on all day even in single player. I even picked a spot on a wall and shot it from about 25 game feet, nothing then again at 15 feet and it left a mark on the wall. So its like the bullets on travel about 15 game feet or so and stop.

I am just wondering if some rouge anti-sniper admin could have uploaded something that jacks the sniper rifle?

I am going to do a new install and see if it fixes it, if anyone else has any ideas on what could cause this please let me know. I don't think its Toadvision, I have been using it for a while with no probs.

When you do the new install make sure that you don't just do it in the same dir. I would delete the entire dir after uninstall and the reinstall it. That would be the cleanest way.

I unintalled, deleted folder, then re-installed and it fixed it.

Boy that was bizzare, I tried another experiment before I un-installed; I created a local game, and tried some target practice on a wall and I would aim at a crack. I could never hit the crack, it either pulled way high left or way low right. I had the same result with both the Axis and Allied rifle but the pistol would hit the crack no problem. The further away I would get the worse I would miss, untill is appeared to not hit the wall at all, just to strange.

sometimes i myself was sure to hit my target but then nothing happened. i would emptymy clip to no avail. but then when i move a little and shoot agaim my target it hits. it must be related to the textures or something..
