Did they change how xbows shoot?

Since the patch I went from hitting 3/4 of my shots to 1/4 if I'm lucky, did the patch change how xbow bolts travel through the air?

They changed the model of the bolt during flight. Before it was just a brown bar which was very visible, even on long range. Now the flight model is the actual bolt which is less visible. Therefore you probably have a harder time adjusting your aim.
There is a possibility to reverse this change.

I am watching football atm but I can post the fix in here if you want after the match.

Finally justice. Bolts are as easy to see as arrows. Or rather... as hard.
It's a shame some people took their time making all their range ammo in fancy colors, so they noticce it easily, whereas normal people can't see them at all in long distance.
As much as cheating as thoses people who switched to transparent the leaves of the trees and the bushes.

I am not talking about any cheat. I am talking about reversing the models to those which are used in Native. And as far as I can tell, this would work for arrows too.

I got this tip from Shik himself so it can hardly be considered as cheating.
Get your facts straight before accusing someone!

Well, I gonna make another thread for it so everybody can find it easily.
But it's going to take me a moment to write it cuz there is some editing involved.

Aunt Edith says...

I made a Guide on how to edit the proper file in here.

I hope it's clear enough and working. Certainly working for me.

Andswaru, since you are likely to try it, please leave a post in the guide thread if it's working for arrows too.
