Mini map bugged; Showing load screen

Unread post by PaulImposteur »

As title says, I cannot use the mini-map because it shows the loading screens instead of the game maps.

My standard map is unaffected and functions fine. Seems confined to the mini-map.

Help.

I updated to one of the latest drivers, Decembers.
But yes, I reinstalled Windows (Got Win10) then updated most of my drivers to the latest recently.

Does that mean I have to downgrade? That'd stink, since it'd make other games incompatible.

I don't know of a way to fix it without reverting the drivers to an older version. :/


exit:

I take that back... you might be able to fix it if you turn off anti aliasing

I've not played around with the settings in a while, so I'll try newer drivers and see if I can figure something out

Is anyone having trouble with the mini-map and tracking? I have 38 survival and the tracking button shows nothing.. not even in the same room?

Do you have the Track feat?

No I don't have the feat. I was using the track mode in the mode bar. The only difference is that I leveled up from 20 to 21 and the track button stopped showing any enemies on the map.

I tested with a cloak with the track feat on it. I put the cloak on .. boom all the enemies light up. Take it off.. they're all gone. All while keeping the track button on.

Now another weird glitch.. I switched the cloaks again and now only Half of them are showing on the map with my regular regen cloak on!??

ideas?

If you do not have the 'Track' feat, you can only track humanoids (eg. goblins, kobolds, orcs, giants etc).

One requires the 'Track' feat (from ranger or wilderness stalker, or item in your case) to track other kinds of creatures, eg. oozes, aberrations, dragons, undead.

Note that this is based entirely on the creature's base race and some creatures (eg. Wandering Spirit in level 1 graveyard) may appear to be one racial type (undead) but have actually been made with the toolset as another (elf, in the case of the wandering spirit, hence they cannot be turned but can be sneak attacked or critically hit).
