Markers disappear if i face them
Weird thing: any marker (noticed while looking for an interceptor ship) disappear if i face the right direction. If the target location isn't in the screen i'm actually facing, it appears at the boarder of the screen normally showing me the general direction, but as soon as it enter my range of view, it disappears, leaving me to navigate on instincts.
And this happen with every quest marker, making quite long and tedious to find quest places.
Would like to fix this and keep playing, this is annoying as hell.
Any ideas?

What I will say is that sometimes the game does this because it wants you to land and use the scanner to field sweep and find the actual location that way.
The marker is only to get you in the area.

Although I have on occasion had them disappear even when I was a good distance away.

I would just land and use field sweep on the scanner to see if it's working.

Usually if this happens the icon is still in your compass you can follow it untill it goes behind you and then you'll know its right below you.

There are some markers that vanish deliberately when you get close, but i never saw interceptor markers do it?

I frequently see E locked markers vanish for random things like buried technology, ancient bones, etc etc, when you get close to them. Usually walking away and coming back fixes it, but yes, they do vanish, its annoying.

Also you get to know where things are after a while, so you get the twin tubular hut buildings with a damaged machine and nearby buried technology, pretty standard. I don't even bother F and E marking the buried tech, i just walk there and usually the icon for it pops up when i am that close and i dig..... Sometimes that icon does not appear? I will be standing there, well i know its here, no icon, i look around a bit, oh now it appears, wasn't there a second ago, now it is, i never moved a step the whole time.

Yea i'm not new to the game, i know sometimes is normal, problem is it happens when it should not. Like the interceptors... it's quite hard to find a ship on a planet without precise markers, and same for other markers. Sometimes it happens for space station as well

This glitch - I think it is a glitch but I can't be sure for now - seems to be recent. Seems to happen for some objects and not others. I've noticed it a lot for travellers' graves and buried bones. The only "workaround" I rely on for now is that they still appear on the compass, top of the screen, so I can still find them pretty easily, but in the case of landing it's pretty annoying. There is a mod for a better, more stable and more revealing scanner, but I did use it and it does not always prevent the issue.
I'd recommend filling a zendesk ticket, it seems unintended to me, like a side-effect of the recent revision of the data display
