Yea, I am trying to figure out what's up with this as well. Because quest tracking does work on Xbox, so why not on PC?

I can't track all my quests either. Not sure why. I'm on Chapter 3. The Wheels of Steel quest reset after I reached a checkpoint, exited the game, and started it back up this morning. I went back to the correct location. It's fine now. Hope you get it worked out.

It's a bug, the fix is to use manual tracking markers.

Select your current quest, find the map marker for it, and click on the map placing a blue custom marker. This will return the dotted tracking line to the map/minimap.

For me this bug usually occurs after fast-travel.

I hear ya Capt, but a lot of times that particular quest might not show on the map because you are not in that area of the map. And its not like you can move around the map too freely. Like for instance, when starting the game and a particular quest, I had no clue where the lighthouse was, but that quest was asking me to go there. So I just had to roam around and find it eventually. I know that exploration is part of the game, but when you have (or rather had) this partiuclar feature available and it doesnt work, it just aggrevates most.

If you are unable to find quest markers on your map then you have bigger problems than a path tracking bug. While your quest path (dotted line) may not always show, quest markers will always show for the currently selected quest.

The only reason a quest marker will not show on the map is if the quest is not currently selected.

Im having the same problem as OP. Im in the beginning of the game and I cant track any of my quests I could for a couple of missions. Its not an exploration issue it's that the "Track Quest" button is just greyed out. My Co-Op partner have confirmed that its just me who cant Track any qusets when they can. Is this common and how can I fix?

this forum is older but I'm having the same issues. Trackign on the map worked fine before,but now on chapter 2 and none of my quests show up on the map, I've gone through selecting each one individually but still nothing.

Also having this issue

This is not an issue. Its the normal gameplay.

I found a user on gamefaqs.gamespot.com saying the following:

"Some side-quests you have to find on your own, there won't be a tracker telling you where to go. Most are item finding quests like booze where the item will spawn randomly and infinitely so pointing them out would be redundant. If you have one of those quests active the items will popup red (instead of white) on your map so you know it is what you are looking for. Kind of the same thing with people finding quests, you have to be within minimap range before they show up, so just explore and you'll find where you need to go on your minimap when close (it will popup white if its not your active quest, red if it is)."

Simply press "L" button to show the quest menu, then left-click the quest you want to follow and press "L" button again. No real need to click "track quest" in the quest menu.
