Most of hits don't do any damage in pvp and it is annoying.

Just a heads up, I've found a small issue that may help improve this. I'll have a small patch for it out either tomorrow or next week. I'll also have a debug menu players can use to help find any lagging players, etc.

Wait, so you mean it'll tell us their ping and such? That's be quite useful, ngl.

Yes, it'll show you the ping of all players in the area as well as the FPS their game is running at.

Here is how the new debug menu works, which may help for finding issues here. I may need to further test the accuracy of the FPS displayed in it though, to make sure it is accurate.

1. Type "showDebug" in the main chat.
2. Type "showPings" in the debug menu. It will show pings and FPS of each player in the area.
3. Type "closeMenu" to close the debug menu.

If having issues with a lot of desync, trying taking a screenshot of this menu when it is happening and posting it.

Ok an update here. Implementing this menu did help me. I found a small bug somewhere in some code. It will help with some issues regarding enemies and items becoming out of sync too much, and will improve it. I'm not sure how much it will impact players in PvP though. As always, desync will always be an issue, but hopefully this small fix will improve it in some ways. Fix will be out in a little bit.
