    It's not clear from the release notes, etc, if this feature is supposed to be working yet or not. If it is supposed to be working, it isn't working in the two zones I tried.

    In Brittany Wharfs, the map windows opens but I get a message that the map isn't available.

    In Brittany Estates, the window pops up very briefly and then disappears. There's some sort of error text but I can't read it quickly enough to know what it says.

    I'm still going through and calibrating maps so some are not there yet. I did all of the Brittany maps today and should be in the next QA build.

    good to hear!

    Since we have so many maps I likely won't be able to calibrate them all by release. I've done all POTs, all cities, and the top 30 or so adventuring scenes so far (at least the ones with a map to use). If you have any specific requests that are not working let me know and I'll add them to my list as I work through them.

    The fast loading map looks great :).

    It looks like the resolution of new background map image looks a bit lower than the old one. Some background text become pixelize. Hope it becomes better in the future :)

    happy to hear it's loading well and working well! The low resolution is due to Atos getting aggressive in optimizing the images. For ones like Novia & HiddenVale I'll cut back on the compression to help out with the text. Thanks for pointing this out!

    Solania Catacombs (important Adventure/Quest area) was without a map.
    Also important: Lost Whiteguard Silver Mine, also Adv./Quest area (sorry, can't remember, if the map worked).

    Thank you - that's a great step forward :)

    I'm not creating new maps right now. Just porting the ones over from the website. So anything that did not have a map before will still not have a map unfortunately.

    I had issues getting the map to show, I pressed M and it sounded like the window opened but nothing, it seemed to take a few before it showed up, if its "downloading" it or something it might be prudent to open the window with "loading" written somewhere as it feels like its not working

    there is no downloading. any actual loading is reading the image off disk. was this a one time quirk or every time?

    Sounds similar to what I was hitting in Brittany Estates... The map sound would play and the map window would show up for a split second, unless you knew where it was you might not even see it, and then it would disappear.

    @Undone, Pressing the map key opens the map for a fraction of a second and then it hides, note you have to press the map key again to "close" it before opening again.

    I think it's caused by auto-fade feature being enabled, try enabling it, close the map and then switch scenes and open the map again. If reloading into a scene you may want to wait for your character to completely unload from it first.

    Did some further testing, looks like Player towns are not showing up on the main map, and ever time I enter my town sometimes I see more houses sometimes I see less or none. So its not constant.

    Did some poking around and there were a few issues with the auto fade code that I just checked in a fix for. Not sure if it'll make it to a QA build before launch but will make it for live.
