Player Icon bug? (its a cave)
Does anyone else have the bug where your player icon has been replaced with a cave and your main objective marker is your palyer marker? its only been a problem since survival difficulty.

I have the ability to fast travel to the cave like it is a location somewhere but since i cant fast travel i cant fast travel to it to find where it is.

Anyone else experience this bug / have a solution?

Ad victorian!

Screenshot of the bug, ive moused over the cave bug and you can see the quest marker ontop of diamond city.

Same with me. I had a satellite map like you do as an addon but after that bug came I de-installed it in the hopes of fixing the issue. No success.

Delete or update Zoom-out Extended for World and Local Maps if you have it installed.

Used Zoom-out Extended for World and Local map with the vanilla map. Works fine.
...buuut Improved Map with Visible Roads seems to be the culprint. Install that and I AM CAVE, remove Improved Map with Visible Roads and I AM THE LONE SURVIVOR again.
Guess my favorite map mod has to go. -sob-

Update:
You were right. At least on my end using Zoom-out Extended for World and Local Maps with ANY one of the four map mods messed up my position cursor, changing it to a cave. AND one of the quest cursors got changed to a downward facing player-position icon.

I'm now playing with Satellite World Map (just 4k since I'm a peasant and need the FPS) in monochrome and I gotta say, the zoom barely is missed now that I ♥♥♥♥♥♥' know where I am properly. The Cave Icon is kinda huge to begin with and wide too.
Anyway, thanks for your help. It's appreciated. ^_^

I Installed this patch: http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/12493/?
and it worked with Satellite world map monochrome without getting the cave bug.

So I take it anything that altered the minimap then? Cause I don't have any of those map mods except for SMM - Smaller Map Markers, and the only thing that changes is all of my Quest markers/Custom markers are now a Cave icon.
Darnell Simmons Jul 14, 2016 @ 4:34pm 
If anyone has any updates on this. I have a similar issue and I have zero mods that change the minimap in any way.

Exactly the same problem, was running Improved Maps mod since it came out, but when I loaded up the game today my player icon, Power armor icons, and custom marker icon are now caves. On top of that, I cannot remove custom markers any more. Clicking on the map just places a cave.
I've tried uninstalling the mods, deleting my .ini file, and then out of desperation wiping all my mods to find a culprit. Nothing has worked, I'm back to vanilla with damn cave icons. What is going on???

Just wanted to chime in with a potential solution for the previous three posts. I was having the exact same issue as WinnieBlue where the player icon and quest marker icons were incorrect and custom markers couldn't be removed, even though all map mods were uninstalled.

Oddly, purchasing and loading the Vault-Tec DLC seemed to fix everything. It also fixed the icons in Workshop mode to properly note which categories have modded ([M]) or DLC additions; previously they were all Raider icons which I thought was normal. I had Far Harbor and Automatron installed where the bug was still present, but after adding the Vault-Tec Workshop DLC, the map functionality was restored and map mods worked once again.

I just got this bug today for the very first time. My player icon is a door, my power armor is my player icon, and my objective marker is the power armor symbol.

And it just happened when the newest patch installed... :P

Yeah I have the same problem too. I've uninstalled all map mods and I still have this problem.

I'm honestly guessing it's because I am using the 1.6 version of F4SE, with the new 1.7 version of Fallout. I don't have patience for the update of F4SE, so I just downgraded my Fallout4.exe from 1.7 to 1.6 so F4SE would work. :P

The patch from

http://www.speedrun.com/Fallout_4/thread/fvo80

Doesn't fix it either. Don't bother removing your map mods or using the patch. The only thing that fixes it is upgrading to 1.7.9 which sucks because no achievements.
