Odd map behaviour.

Post by Schmmiiirc »

I don't think this can be a bug cos it's not happened with my other characters. With my most recent character, when I click on the chest and then the map symbol, the map opens up but is not centred on my character.

Often there's just the brown background showing, if I bring up the +/- symbols and then minimise the map, my position will begin to appear somewhere off to one side or other (or top or bottom) and then I can drag the map around and enlarge it.

It happens more often than not with this character, occasionally the map opens normally but not often.

I've tried shutting down the game and then the phone and restarting everything, (always the default option for me with anything computer related) but it's made no difference.

Any clues, is this fixable?

Could you post some screenshots to illustrate your issue?

I've not yet mastered the art of screenshots on my phone (PC is no problem) but I can use another camera to take some, although I'm not sure how much info you'll get from a blank screen. I'll take a sequence from blank to resolution and see if that helps.

On Android it generally is power+volume down for 2 seconds. Your device may have another combination. Google for it. It's normally available on all devices.

The destructions on the phone say *power+volume* - but I've not yet managed to make that produce anything. I'll have a another try, and can still resort to a camera if necessary.

Yeah it can be tricky. You have to press both buttons simultaneously, and hold them down for a couple of seconds.

Here's a classic example of what I described in the first post, followed by another couple of strange map incidents.

On BW Mountain.

Click on map.

Bring up +/- .

Don't seem to be able to add more pics here, will try another post.

Next problem, same character and it hasn't happened with previous characters. (I'll resurrect someone later and see if they've also developed a problem).

Outside the potion-maker in Fallhaven.

I think that I've seen this behavior on occasion.
