I checked around and didn't see anyone bringing this up. It's not game breaking by any means since I don't use the compass often, but it is something strange that has caused a couple mishaps for our group.

My in game compass does not point North. My group of 4 friends regularly plays and all of their compasses point the same direction. If I ask them to all face north, they line up all facing the same way. However if I then face North according to my compass, I am facing what would be for them North East. It's pretty consistently about 45 degrees to the right of wherever their North is.

@floral fulcrum may have a video of this, or we can try to get a video/screenshots. It also doesn't seem to matter what cosmetics I'm wearing or if I'm the host or not. But it's always just my compass in particular that's wrong.

There was a whole thing about this a while back in private testing but I had thought it was fixed. I dont really use the compass either though so idrk and I dont pay attention to it.

Are people in your group dropping any M.P.A.S. @loud crater ? It changes where North is on your compass, so everyone's North will be at the very least slightly different unless you're standing directly on top of your friends

No, it's not from the MPAS. We rarely use those. It's definitely a weird thing that is ONLY on her game. We all face north and she's always like, 15 degrees skewed to the right, lol.

Hmm

#

Is anyone using the same model as @loud crater?

floral fulcrum Aug 25, 2023, 3:24 PM

#

The first couple times were hilarious cause she was all "I KNOW HOW TO READ A COMPASS"

#

yeah, it's not tied to the character model

#

We could probably stream it for you very easily

Stream shouldn't be necessary -- what you're describing sounds like an old compass bug that was fixed in a rework, and would happen to everyone rather than just one player, so it's really strange that it's happening to just one person in this situation. Maybe a file got missed by Steam in an update at some point that's throwing it off. Verifying game files will help rule that out:

Okies, will verify game files.

#

Also can confirm when a MPAS is down, my compass points towards it as it should

#

We're also trying something out on our side to try replicating, but verifying is good practice with weird issues in any case just to try 😄

#

We all got the game about a week ago. Just for purchase reference.

#

So wouldn't be an 'old' file.

#

Files verified okay w/ no errors

#

Good to know, thanks 🙂 -- we actually spotted what's wrong while chatting about this and were able to replicate, strange it hasn't been reported since the rework, so we thought it had been fixed. Thanks for the report! We should have it fixed in the next update

floral fulcrum Aug 25, 2023, 3:30 PM

#

Maybe everyone else doesn't know how to read a compass? 🤔

haughty grotto Aug 25, 2023, 3:30 PM

#

A few of my friends certainly don't

Thank you 🙂

I think also if you're just playing case files... we rarely ever use the compass now. We were only really trying to use it when we were new at the game before our glowstick game was on point.
