Hello,
When i'am in PR i don't see the small arror at the bottom of the screen, on the compass. This is very frustrating, i don't know what's causing it. Also as a SL or in mortar i can't see the distance when the map is open (caps lock).

EDIT: also i can't see the commander mutiny button

Is tr.exe running when you're playing PR? AFAIK it handles that stuff among other things.
If it's not running, check if you have the file at all in your PR folder.

i have tr.exe

The target arrow of your orders will only show if the default 3D marker is not visible (out of range after ~75m).

You have to switch to the mortar's calculator "weapon slot" only there will you be able to see the range when opening the map.

Afaik, you have to be Squad leader to be able to vote mutiny.

all of those applied. The 3D marker was out of range, i was on calculator and i was SL. Also another thing, the distance also shows up as 0 when i'm SQ leading or when i'm in the mortar, it doesn't seem to register the distance.

The distance shown at the map screen is somewhat "inaccurate" (wanted by the devs), rounded to the nearest 50m mark. So it will be in 50m steps - if your maker is closer than 25m it will show "0" above it will show "50" and so on). The range is the distance between you and your order-marker (i.e. "Move", "Attack", "Defend" etc.). If there is no order the distance is probably set to 0.

even when the marker is over 200 meters away it still shows as 0, i mean i can work without it, however it is a bit annoying.

This sounds strange, can you please provide a screen shot?
