The new marker system

Post by Feli06 »

Hello everyone!

i didnt play pr so much since this release, just at weekends. i still didnt figure out how the new marker system works. i know that you only have the 3d-marker for 100m, and there should be an arrow on your compass for larger distances. but since the last time i never saw that arrow on my compass (it worked sometime, i remember). also, even when im squadleader, i only see "RANGE: 0" in the map screen after i set a marker.

what am i doing wrong?
thanks in advance!

Try hitting the ALT key, it toggles markers on/off. It worked for 3D markers, so it could for 2D.
Just brainstorming :)

Sounds like tr.exe isn't running.

When you open up the game and can't see the compass or only get "RANGE: 0", it means that tr.exe is not working (tr.exe is an addon for PR that enables the marker system, thermals, and a few other things).
If you open up your task manager (ctrl + alt + del), and go to the processes tab, somewhere in the list should be "tr.exe". If it's not running, there's a problem.


Here's a thread where someone was having a similar problem and tr.exe was not running:

And here's a post by [R-DEV] Mosquill where he gives a link to redownload tr.exe, which could fix it.

@lucky.BOY: 2D markers only disappear when within 125m of the marker (the "toggle 3d markers" button will not hide it)
