Your Set Destination marker is sometimes missing on your compass when M. rendering is on

maboleth · November 2021

As the title says, pressing F to set my destination on the map sometimes results in no show.

So this teal pointer is missing sometimes:

This only happens when Multithread rendering is turned on. I thought it was because MR was in beta, but sadly this bug has managed to see the light of the day in the final, as well.

The workaround is to press F several times on the map to engage the marker. It happens frequently enough to be annoying, so eventually I disabled MR altogether.

Using latest AMD drivers for AMD 5500XT GPU, Windows 11 (was on W10 as well).

I reported this bug twice, no response.

I thought that reloading the UI fixed that...? Maybe it was a different map-ish bug.

Well if many of us do it, providing more info, there is a greater chance for a faster fix.

Do you happen to run an AMD gpu card? To rule out some Amd-only bug.

I have seen it on NVIDIA...

I have Nvidia and have the same problem, so it's not gpu specific.

maboleth · November 2021

Alright, so we know this problem is universal.

Hope ZOS will fix this soon, as:

1) Video card brand is not related
2) Happens only when MR is turned on.

this one has been going on for some time. I literally have to click it, close map, open map click a second time, before it will show up on the radar. really annoying one since I tend to use this a lot in my wanderings.

Try without closing the map - press F numerous times on areas close to where you want to go. That worked most of the time. But now it needs 4-5x or more presses to actually get displayed on the compass. Annoying AF.

Yeah have done all that, little difference. Hopefully someone will break down and look into fix at some point.

I'm having the same issue. Very annoying as I have the worst sense of direction and use this to point me in the right direction. I use a Nvidia graphic card, and not sure what multithread rendering is so not sure where to turn that off.
Please ZOS, sort this out.

meekmiko · November 2021

I've been dealing with this same exact problem.
It drives me up the wall having to repeatedly open the map, press F, only for it to not show up on the gosh dang compass, then having to rinse and repeat 3-4 times until it finally DOES show up.
A fix would be mighty appreciated.

It's in video settings. They enabled it by default this patch even though this setting bugs the compass for some users. Just turn it off.

I thought it is one of my addons that causes this issue but apparently not. I also have the same problem with destination marker disappearing and have MR turned on and I encounter this bug every single day (many times a day actually). It's really really annoying, especially in bigger zones where minimap doesn't help.

@ZOS_Kevin Could you please acknowledge the devs are aware and there is a fix in the works?

SpiritKitten · February 2022

This was allegedly fixed on the live server in today's patch notes. Haven't logged in to test it today.

RisenEclipse · February 2022

This also has been happening periodically with my compass. Very annoying.

SpiritKitten · April 2022

Dear @ZOS_Kevin , this issue is back! Whenever I zone, the marker disappears from my compass and I have to open the map to reset it for the compass, even though it is retained on the map itself. Y'all 'fixed' this in a recent patch, but the 'fix' did not stick. Please review the issue again. Thanks.
