Same here. Doesn't show up on map but shows up when I use a wayshrine. Doesn't happen for everyone. Not sure if it's a reported bug or not.

Same, just shows up at wayshrine, but only for one character on one account, even though I've scryed on a couple of characters on each of two accounts. I've even tried an installation on a second computer, and it happens to the same character and only the same character there. I put in a /bug report a couple of months back.

Check the map filters (the funnel icon when map is open). The Dig Sites filter might have got unchecked on some folks - it did on a couple of mine, had to dig around to figure out what the deal was.

I've reported it, on 12/25, but of course it might take a while for somebody to get to it given the holiday.

Some points:

1. It's only in one region, Reaper's March.
2. If I use the EU server instead of NA, I don't have that problem in the same region, so it's probably not my program installation.
3. Unchecking and checking the filter doesn't work.
4. ReloadUI doesn't work.
5. Restarting my computer doesn't work.
6. I would try to go to the dig area and see if I could use the eye tool, but since I can't see anything on the map, I don't know where the dig areas are.
7. There doesn't appear to be any way to abandon the digs.

You can abandon the digs by highlighting one at a time, then pressing X and agreeing.

Wow, do I feel like an idiot now! That was exactly the problem on my end, as Ijust found out with a quick scry of a green lead. Thank you @Sylvermynx !!!

"X" does not work with these two that I am having trouble with. Also, right click gives me no options. Have you tried that and had it work on one of these stuck digs?

I've never had a stuck dig really. When I had the issue of them not showing on the map, I didn't do anything with them until I figured out that the filter was unset; resetting it popped them on the map immediately after a reloadui. So I don't have any further ideas - I just hope your bug report works then!

I finally managed to get my situation fixed. Just guessing, I deleted (removed/abandoned) all in progress digs in all regions. It still left the two problem digs in my list, and I could not abandon/remove those. But it changed them somehow so that the Scry option was now visible on them. I Scried those, and now they are showing up on the map.

I just hope this problem doesn't repeat.

Sylvermynx

Well, I hope so too for you! What a PITA.

You're not an idiot - some things just aren't very user friendly! In any case you are very welcome, glad to help!

You're very welcome! I had never looked at them either until I couldn't see dig sites on mine.

Wow, I just figured out what was going on with my problem with the digs not showing up. It turned out it's not a bug at all, but a misunderstanding. My problem was not that it "wasn't showing on the map" (although obviously it wasn't), but that I could not scry for new digs in the region I was in. I abandoned all my digs, and then I could scry the two I wanted. This was different than everybody else's problem. I got the issue again just now, and I thought "oh man, here we go again...." But this time instead of abandoning everything, I just abandoned two (because I was trying to scry two new ones) and it worked. I told my wife about it, and she said "you have a limit of five active ones...."

And that was it. By abandoning two, I opened up the ability to scry for the two I wanted. I didn't know that there was a limit of five active, and now I feel like a fool.

So in case anybody else doesn't know, and you run into the same situation, you know now.
