I believe it has to do with the amount of haze that any particular arena is experiencing at that time.  It is only a suspicion at this time.

The hit sprites seem to show up much better in the film viewer than they do live.  :headscratch:

 And how can man die better, than facing fearful odds.
 For the ashes of his fathers and the temples of his Gods."

Check and see if your FOV is 99 or less.  Above 99 the tracers and hit sprites are practically invisible.

i heard that, tried it, saw little difference. I don't like that low an FOV. Needs to be fixed.

We may not like the fix if it has to be done at 80 or the base line so it is out sized in proportion, just so it looks at 106 like our current 80. I'm still not sure why offline at 106 the tracers and hit sprites are fine versus online.

I will try that, but that narrow effects my SA after playing with 120 for years
