No Little Red Men

[jared96]

In team in wastelands, added two peeps to my team, yet no little red men on map. Playing @ 1920 x 1200, windowed w. all graphics settings maxed.

I think they only appear at a distance of 200-250 meters or less.

That's correct.

250m ? That means I gotta go back to "I'm under the "e" in Savage Dunes" or "by the tree near the three little bumps" on the map

first i have never understood how dead ppl can talk or send out/accept team invites... but whatever.
second, right click on compass/team/team member. still tracks.

Still, seems a little odd to even have the feature of player map trackers if they have to be within sighting distance anyway. May as well drop the whole feature, lowering the chance of bugs and increasing performance (albeit very minimally in this case).

I can live with that, as long as tracking works. (It didn't work well before the patch)

Well most of the time I am teamed in PR, we are all over the place.....I can be in FD, a peep can be in LoC and another in Abyss. It's also when ya have a peep looking for a dig spot and you can direct him / her by tracking the little red man.

When I get a "I'm down" message, the quickest way to locate someone is by looking at the map. Immediately I know what TP to use and where to go. The compass is only really worthwhile when you are within 1000m or so.

As for inviting someone when dead, /invite [name] worked b4 patch, haven't needed to sue it since. Breaking team was a bit convoluted....had to use the game pad and click "separate".
