    Mini map problem

    I am having a problem with my minimap, no matter which direction I face my minimap tells me that I am looking North. The dial does not spin and my FOV cone always points at 12 o'clock.

    I've going into the options to try and change the minimap settings, but I am not able to toggle anything as both static and map rotation are selected. Take a look at the screen shot:

    I haven't t started poking around in the config files yet, is there an easy fix?

    I think they purposely locked it, its annoying. I want it back to the way I'm use to it, unlocked.

    Re: Mini map problem

    You guys use rotating map?

    I never liked rotating map (unlocked) simply because you cannot tell people where something is N, S, E, W of a flag... for reference purposes. If you spin around, it is very easy to get disoriented in my opinion.

    They probably made it static/locked because of the arty system.

    Re: Mini map problem

    My map moves, but the indicator for which direction I am facing does not, it points due North and never budges. In order for me to figure out which direction I am facing, I need to open the map itself and see which way I'm pointed in there. I'll post a video of it the next time I'm in the game.

    same... I keep the map static and watch my guy move. That's how I use a map IRL too - when you guys are driving/hiking, do you spin the map upside-down and all around?

    Same here. I find it very difficult to easy figure out which way I am facing, and also holding a course.
