Waypoints and Trail Markers

[DoubleD]

When I use waypoints most of the time you can't see them on the screen only on the map.
Sometimes when you get real close to the waypoint spot it will show up.

Trail markers I can see when I put it down but when I move a little ways away from it it doesn't show on the screen anymore.

Are these how these things are supposed to work? Feels very broken.

I believe it's intentional. For example, let's say you put a trail marker inside your base. Now you can see that marker from anywhere on the map. As you approach your base, the closer you get this marker will fade out and all the other markers in the base itself will fade in (Camp/Rest marker, etc).

I don't think you understand what I am saying.
When I am very far away from my base I do not see the "home" trail marker.
Unless my game is somehow bugged that makes the trail markers useless.

And if I put a waypoint at the far end of the map then try to "see" it in game it is not there.

? Are you talking about the constructable trail markers? I placed one (with a home icon) in my base and can see it clear across the map. Same for all constructable markers. It's only the automatic markers I cannot see unless I'm close.

There's a "Toggle Markers" command in the Executable radial, see if cycling it makes a difference.

there is a bug in the markers that effects them in some way. if you go up to your markers, and interact with them, click in the naming text-box. that should fix in for awhile. same thing happens to the storage boxes.

OK, I will try that thanks.

I have had to "move" the flags to get them to show again but the issue is rare. I usually run around with them turned off (I press U on PC keyboard) because there are so many it gets in way of seeing things when in combat. What does happen regularly for me is the waypoint not showing. It seems if the waypoint you mark (by pressing R in map view) will disappear from 1st/3rd person view after a long amount of time being active. If fix it by unmarking and re-marking it.

there's a screen that pops up when you press "Z", this will bring up an "executables" menu, then you will navigate to "2" which can then toggle on/off trail markers and waypoints on your HUD

Or just press 'Y' in-game
