Placing a waypoint on the map is offset to where I clicked

[JayE]

When I open the map and Right-Click to set a waypoint, the waypoint appears in the wrong location.
To get it right, I need to center the map to exactly where I want to set the waypoint, then click the center of the map and set the waypoint.
If I dont center the map first, the waypoint location is offset from the place I clicked depending on how far the center of the map is.
The further away I click from the center, the further the offset is.
Anyone else seen this problem?

Windows 10 Pro 1903

Same Problem here

Also because of this the distance and coordinates in the bottom right corner are wrong on ultra wide.

Can't use X-axis on the world map

I can't use the map the proper way since the X-axis is broken during navigating. All I can do is move or zoom into the map on the Y-axis. Next thing is, that any interaction with the map is totally of point. E.g. when I want to mark a spot on the map it is dragged or pushed off by far of the point I wanted to mark on the map.

I use keyboard and mouse and play on an ultrawide screen @3840 x 1080 maxed out settings.
Things I found out so far.

This "bug" won't appear when I change my resolution to e.g. 1920 x 1080 windowed or fullscreen doesn't matter but is unplayable since it is totally messed up in terms of pixel stretching. I can use my x-box controller to navigate the map the way it is intended but it is a pain in the a** to switch input devices during gameplay.

I did uninstall and reinstall the game -no effect.
Is there anyone that had a simmilar expirience or knows how to fix this?
Thanks for reading this and your time.

Greetings.

Known issue, several posts about this exact issue.

guys.. not working for me since 7 month.. wrote several times in this ♥♥♥♥ here.

Never played this game again since they don't work on bugs.

Same here. Think it is harder to fix than thought. I remember the same problem with XCOM. Never got a fix thou.

Map Location vs. Monitor Resolution

Custom marker placement on the map seems somewhat tied to monitor resolution. If you have a widescreen monitor and wish to place a marker on the left side of the screen you have to aim far to the right and vice versa.

32:9 aspect ratio

Are the developers just ignoring users using 32:9 aspect ratio? I've done numerous searches for solutions and nothing thus far has worked. For the most part, the game runs fine at 5120 x 1440. The only problem I have is when trying to place waypoints. It always places the map.

When I set it to windowed mode at a lower resolution, it places the game to the far left of the monitor. Since window mode is borderless, I can't move the window to the center of the screen.

The only way I can play the game is to lower the resolution, set the waypoint, and then set the resolution back up to 5120 x 1440 again. Because of this, I haven't played this otherwise great game.

I see no reason why this map issue can't be fixed. Thanks in advance.

Still broken for me, too. Windows 10, running at 3440x1440, and waypoint markers don't set where I click meaning I have to keep clicking until I finally line up the waypoint where I want to go. Makes waypointing an annoyance and keeps me going back to Classic which doesn't have this problem.

So we're getting dogs, but no fixes of outstanding bugs? Different dev teams, maybe, but priorities for bug fixing after the community asked for that to be prioritised?

I'm very disappointed that the ultrawide resolution issue has been completely ignored by the developers. I have a monitor that supports 5120x1440 and every other game I play has a reasonable solution to allow gameplay. This game has lost all appeal to me.

If I try setting the resolution to any of the 16:9 settings, it goes to the borderless window and places the window all the way to the left of the screen. Since it's borderless, I can't reposition the window to the center. So, when I tried playing it, any time I wanted to set a new waypoint I had to set the resolution to 1920x1080, set a waypoint, then set the resolution back again. Too many steps for it to be enjoyable at all. I understand the appeal of a borderless window, but in this case, it is more of a hindrance than anything.

With the exception of setting waypoints, this game is top-notch. Since the developers seem to have opted to ignore those with ultrawide setups, I will be avoiding Expansive Worlds future titles. Since they only have this title, it won't be hard to do. I am surprised that Avalanche Studios Group who helps publish this game seems fine with how Expansive Worlds has handled this issue. Other games that Avalanche is a part of lack any resolution issues at least for me.

I can promise you, that's not the best option. I understand that it's very frustrating but spamming the live stream will only result in a ban from the live stream. The best option is to contact support.
