Wind direction not showing

  • Only had this a few times during solo or coop but I know it can also be apparent on galleons. Sometimes I’ve been playing with a full crew and one of us experiences no wind direction whilst the rest of the crew do.

    Look at the flag at the top of the mast/ crow's nest, it will be showing the wind direction too... (Unless that has disappeared as well!) ;D

  • @coffeeart687098 helpful tip, thanks a lot!

    Yeah thats what I do, nice catch

    Sometimes, when there are lots of swirly wind things floating around, I get a bit confused... Maybe it's my failing eyesight, but I can be turning the sail the opposite direction to what I need, cuz I think the swirls are going in the opposite direction to what they are!

    When I'm not sure of wind direction, I look up to the flag to confirm what position I need- & increasingly, I'm finding that I use the flag more & more, & the swirly things less & less...

  • @CoffeeArt687098
    Yeah once i figured that out it was a lot easier and much more efficient

  • @coffeeart687098 I’m definitely going to reprogram my SoT brain and get used to using this technique. Considering a real life situation you WOULD look at the flag on top of the crows nest, as you wouldn’t actually see wind direction ha! Thanks again.

  • @popticgamerzz11
    And more realistic! No swirly things in real life... :D

  • Yeah I get this bug sometimes, if you die and respawn the wind swirlies come back.

    HaHa, exactly :D
