Blackwood Treasure maps

[Deokk]

when will these be addressed or fixed? Treasure maps in Blackwood make players crash the game and really limit the gameplay available as there is very little to do outside of treasure hunting

Yeah, same here. When opening a treasure map the game crashes almost immediatly.
It´s pretty annoying.

There is a workaround.

(it's a lame workaround but my mates and i have been able to get by with it)

Place the map on your hotbar but do not activate it.

Go into Options and crank up Item Slots Scale as high as you can stand it.

Compare your giant hotbar treasure map with your atlas map and look for landmarks that stand out and remember that some maps are rotated so keep that in mind.

Told you it was lame but it works.

i have tried options like that, but the red beam does not show for me, i will try it your way and see if i get better results. TY you for the insight. way better then the Devs being all hush hush and not saying anything about them knowing of this problem.

I'm sure they know, but they don't read these forums as far as I know. Never seen a dev here. They have official forums and other ways to read bug reports. This has been posted in those locations too.

no. the game was designed for the official servers

A bunch of stuff that i failed to mention last night:

The map needs to be on the last slot on your hotbar.
(9? 0? whatever it is, the one on the far right)

It helps to have Eagle Eye maxed out so that you have maximum range with which to see the red beam.

There is a spoil timer for maps but it's measured in Days.
So don't freak out if you check your map storage after a week and there's a few missing.
This is by design and not a bug.
Since maps are so numerous this is no big deal, just run around your island and pick up another dozen.

So far we've run about a dozen or so maps using this method and once you get used to the extra challenge it really isn't that bad...

...but the xp for anyone within range is really, really good.

Good luck.

A common misconception is that it must be the last slot. I've filled all of the slots with maps, and they all work! So the more maps in slots the better

Good to know about slot position.

I'm so scared about triggering The Bug when activating a map that i haven't thought about trying other slots :)

Glad to hear you're getting results.

Ya, best not to put the maps in any slot you tend to press out of habit. Just put them in slots you seldom use and you are not likely to accidentally hit the key for the slot.
