I did absolutely nothing ingame to change this, and I run the game maxed out to begin with in DX9, but whenever I use bonk, or see another scout bonking, I don't see the effect. I wasted a shot as sniper during a match this evening in GPit thinking he wasn't bonked =\. someone please help.

I also cannot see the particle effect, and I run on very low settings, so I don't know if settings are the issue.

The effects now happen when the scout is slowing down, this happens for everyone now as of the last update. I'm pretty sure it's intentional, since bonk needs all of the buffs it can get.

Huh. well, I'm reluctant to make another consecutive "bug" post so i'll just ask here. The "Critical Hit" sign does not show up for headshots anymore for me. Another update thing??? intentional!????

Do you have the damage number indicator on? That disables the Critical Hit icon.

oh that is dumb!!!

Well, the damage numbers scale up with damage done, so crits will still appear as massive numbers. ;)

Yeah, this has been happening, i don't think its a bug, i think its intentional.

New strat: go bonk in front of a soldier who doesn't know you're bonk'd, wait for them to shoot 3 rockets in your face, phase out of bonk, and meatshot them once and they're dead. Might see it used instead of the pistol now? meh.

I get the same thing. I'm really hoping this is not actually a bug but a buff for the bonk, as it seriously needs one. Does the firstperson command still work? I've crafted mine so couldn't test for any bugs or fixes.

The first-person command does not work, they changed this in a patch awhile ago.

Strafing quickly will still speed you up during the slow down though.
