I have a question, i think its a bug, but i want to know if anyone else is having this issue first, before reporting:
When i fire my dual heavy cannons, the bolts are not getting to the target, they get cutted, like reflecting inside my own shields, they dont register as hits. Happens mostly with CRF, but normal firing is affected too, i changed ships, disabled traits, changed cannons, but the problem persists, is there anybody having this issue?

I just tested with AP DHC's and CRF II. They seem to be working fine. No sign of the problem you describe.
What platform are you running? What gear are you using, both on the characters that have this problem, and those that don't? What about Traits? When you say they don't register as hits, are you parsing?
Thanks, i'll list it: PC, no gear at all just cannons (removed everything to be sure), no traits enabled, and, no, no parsing, just the floaters and testing with a friend, no shields, (and also shields, to see if there is a difference).
I'll try to post some videos, but i'm at work at the moment.
I know some cannons have graphical issues, like the Vaadwaur polaron and Herald AP that appear to be cast randomly from the screen when using CSV, but that doesn't seem to be related.
No problem for me either on my D4x, Vengeance and Laeosa.
I'm using these:

When I fire, the bolts start flying, disappear right at the edge of my shields, and then become visible again right before the target, but they DO register as hits, but it goes without saying it looks stupid and kind of turns me off cannons altogether. This bug happens in all firing modes on both weapons.
At first I thought it was SFX overload (noticed it during the Crystalline Entity event at first which is nuts visually) but it happens everywhere else I use them.
Character in my case is an Alien Science Starfleet character, flying the new T6 Chel Boalg Breen ship, with all Breen consoles equipped.
"Let them eat static!"
All gods witness, this is true! The effects are blinding.
ALL Breen consoles? There are like 5 or 6...
A mining company? You're not by chance in the Southern Cone, are you?
South America, in Chile
I've been experiencing this bug for a couple of months now. It has nothing to do with what type of ship you have, what toon, what traits, what consoles, what abilities, etc. It is a graphics bug. When my cannons fire, the visuals do not show them connecting to the target. The visuals cut far short of the target. Before, they went all the way to the target so there's a problem with the effects.
Yeah, but i test it on AMD and Nvidia cards, and same problem, and only on those two chars, thats why its so odd
Thanks, so its affecting some people, i'll try to get a video today (i hope), so more people can check if they have this issue too..
