Map Scrolling/Zooming Glitch?

[Curvaceous Mite]

I did some research online, and while I found other people with a similar problem, I couldn't find any definitive solutions. Wondering if anyone else here has any ideas.

The problem seems to start pretty randomly - essentially, at some point during the game, I'll open up the map and it will no longer scroll/zoom properly. Sometimes I will no longer be able to scroll in one direction, but will be able to scroll so far in the opposite that the map exits the frame completely. Sometimes the zoom function will stop working. Sometimes I will no longer be able to grab and pan the map, but only edge-scroll (or vice versa). Sometimes the buttons on the bottom will no longer respond (but keys will).

The problem can be just one of the above, or a mix of multiple. Sometimes playing a bit the problem goes away, sometimes I can play for another 20-30 minutes and it's still there.

So.... yeah. Any ideas out there? Does anyone else have this problem?

I'v had the map screwing up big time, often it starts when the left click grab stops working on it, then you go out and in and all hell breaks loose, sometimes it fix's itself, most often a save, quit to main menu and reload is enough to clear it, but its a hell of a bug, does anyone know what version we even have?? Theres a patch 1.05 but i have not yet seen a version number anywhere, why do game makers insist on hiding this from us!!!!

[Curvaceous Mite]

I just went to look for the version number - it's actually right on the main menu, right under the Ubisoft News feed on the right-hand side. But it's pretty unassuming, which is probably why we all missed it. Mine does say 1.05, so I guess the issue is just that it's buggy and they haven't patched it yet. Which does suck.

Another way to find the version number though is to go into the game directory (usually C:/Program Files/Steam/SteamApps/common/[Game Title] and find the version number of the game executable (sometimes located in the "bin" folder - you might have to do a little searching). You can get this number by right-clicking on the .exe and opening up the properties window, then going to the details tab. Curiously though, the FarCry3 executable properties say it's v. 1.0.1, so perhaps it's not the most reliable method...

Of course, the whole idea behind Steam is that it makes sure all your games are up-to-date, so one should be able to assume (with reasonable certainty) that all their games are the newest version - assuming you have an internet connection, of course.

I'll bet you both have changed the map key bind to Tab, or some other key that is somehow used on the map screen. The glitch was constantly happening to me with Tab, but never happened again after switching it to ~ which is close enough

[John Reremy]

Nope, with Tab or M, the issue persists.

toggeling left-alt when the map is bugged fixes it for me.

[Amplifier]

the solution is simple. Just press the Alt key (or whatever key bind you use for Toggling Map Legends) and the problem sovles itself. It can be annoying since you'll have to do it everytime you open the map, but you will get used to it

[Nite4awk]

So there still isn't a definitive solution for this? left alt works sometimes, just like several other oddball tricks, none of which "always work" ...and come on, quitting and restarting a game like this is not enjoyable... it ruins the immersion experience.

Bug still happening, I too have found the alt to fix the hand grap scroll issue. On the other hand, the bug where you can't zoom or pan to a certain direction isn't fixed with that. I haven't found anything myself either, and was wondering if anyone else has in the meanwhile.

same issue here

The solution:
The problem is in the "Tab" key, choose another key except that one.
I prefer the "+" key.
But first save the game, go to the menu, and then change the key.
Fixed for me.

THIS.
Fixed my problem 10/10, thanks man

Wow, i don't think i've seen such an old thread come back to life, that's awesome.

as i mentioned above, i set map to ~, cause the game had hardcoded TAB to something unlisted in the keybind screen.
