Mission markers all over the place

[Kirshak]

Hey guys

Since yesterday my objective markers are all over the place, I have the "Where hope is build" mission quest active and my current objective is to go see Nia kalu on Hopetown. But My in game HUD is pointing me towards my ship and is tasking me to go to "Abandoned Ecliptic Garrison"

If I am in space, it points me toward where I need to land, but as soon as I land, my HUD is pointing me towards an another objective on an another planet.

Is that a bug or am I missing something ?

There is an option to filter quest markers to only point towards your currently tracked quest instead of all quests. Go into the quest log and look towards the bottom. You should see some buttons you can press to change the filter between 'show everything' and 'show one thing'.

You can turn that off, or turn it only to show markers for your active mission.

Things like this are the reason games use to come in a box, on physical media and with a Manual.

Of course, laziness, unwillingness to spend the couple of minutes actually reading that 6-10 page manual is the reason games no longer come in boxes, on physical media or have manuals.

Somehow, turning that off and on fixed the issue, I can see the objective marker for my selected mission again, thanks guys

When i turn on the option to show all markers it does not show all markers.
How can i solve this?
On some markers i have to get near them, maybe 100m, and then they show.

When i set the option to show only the active quest it often shows me two markers from different quests.

This is annoying.

I have the same issue. Somehow, the game is now corrupt in this regard. When I select a quest, I see a mission marker for some random quest from the activities tab. Entering scanning mode will provide me with a path to the correct objective, but the marker is missing. Also, in the star map, I see markers from all remaining quests in the activities tab. I have no idea how to fix it. Loading a previous save doesn't do anything. Turning the markers on and off as well. Have they released a patch that caused this?

[Kuba_Q]

Ok, so for future readers, if someone has the issue I've described above, the way to fix it is to go to the Missions tab and choose SHOW ONLY ACTIVE TARGETS instead of SHOW ALL TARGETS option. I'm pretty sure the second option should provide all markers when using the star map; unfortunately it messes up the current quest marker. I had probably changed it by accident earlier, and that's why the bug occurred for me.

That's not true. The corporations found they could save on production costs by having digital copies only instead of spending tons of money printing manuals, pressing CDs, and folding boxes. Instead of passing those savings onto the consumers, they raised the prices of games by $10.

Actually, game prices are remarkably stable, when you account for inflation. If anything, they have come down a bit from the late 80s.

Although games back then typically didn't have quest markers. Many didn't have automaps.

IIRC Bethesda came around to the idea because most Morrowind players couldn't find Caius Cosades, and so could never get started on the main quest

For me, even when i set it to "show only active quests", it always shows a marker leading back to my ship for a mission where i have to travel to ...... and the active marker i actually want to see on the map where i am now.

So i always see two quest markers in my screen when i view around
