Map bug ??

Post by Poacher886 » Fri, 19. Mar 21, 09:36

So im finding that when i hit the 'Map' button it doesn't open centered around my ship but some random place of nothing, then i have to physically move the map all the way over to my sector im in and focus on my ship. This is made all the more frustrating by the fact the 'sector select' key hardly ever works and if im targeted on an object then hit the I key for info, i get the same result of the map opening in some random area of nowhere?

I feel like and it might have been a different game but there was an option maybe in the other filter to a center around the player when they open it? So I feel like it's always working for me when I hit the m key there's also I think another shortcut that opens the properties key within the map. Another way as you can double click your ship in the properties window on the map to center on that ship.

Just in case it is this, toggle scroll-lock.

Yea i was looking for a key in the controls that 'centered' the map around players ship...but none there (i too seemed to think this was a feature of X4)

I thought if you didn't have anything targeted it opened over the player. :gruebel:

This is definitely buggy, it rarely opens the map on the player, but seems to open in a yet undiscovered sector for me?? most frustrating, it used to work fine. Same goes if i hit the 'I' key for info on a station, it sometimes opens at that station but mostly in no-where land....its kind of frustrating.

Has anyone found a solution to the map bug which keeps centring on the Grand Exchange sectors? most times i hit map it goes there and if i click on a ship in the list it recentres there. It is making it very difficult to play. This bug has only just started with me.

It happen to me also, I think that is like there was nothing selected and by defect it go on the center of the map. when this happen I move the map, with the mouse or doing double click in the list of ships to center over the one I am on, and the the map center go back to normal.

Can confirm, that this issue occures very often. Sometimes map locks on some station/position and stops follow my ship. However this issue dissapears after relaunching game.

If some people recently reporting this type of issue are playing the beta then their reports would be better made in here in the beta forum, for example. Otherwise here is fine.

This is already older but in the latest beta (4.20) (probably since it was changed) you can open the map centerd on you by Shift + M. This was the first google result so maybe it helps somebody. Also the befor mentioned scroll lock toggle works

Edit: with 5.0 Release there is a new button to center the map on your Char. You can click your name while the map is open (top left) or simply press R
