For months now the compass will not load, making the game unplayable on Xbox.

Hi Players, maybe someone can help me. I did something wrong on our 4x4 Grid and fixed it. (There was some issues with the Power Stone). I noticed that issue after we get the purple Power Stone. Now for the Discovery i need to remove it from all of our compasses. Is there any cheat command or can we remove something in the database? Thank you for your help!

I just noticed yesterday that if you are heading west, with your sextant buff up and turn from left to right in a ship watching the degree heading on the compass, it will show 268, 269, 270, 271, 270, 271, 272, 273, ... I was along a zone barrier, and it appeared the right pair of 270 and 271 were actually probably 272 and 273 because I was significantly closing distance with the barrier on those headings. I was in a hurry, so wasn't able to complete a 360 degree turn to see if there were other directions where numbers are either duplicated or skipped, but I suspect that there are some degrees skipped between 272 and 360, because a heading of 0 degrees does consistently stay aligned with zone barriers. If there aren't any numbers skipped then I guess the only other explanation is that the degrees aren't actually degrees, because there are at least 362 of them in the circle.

My Compass is showing socketed power stones, I have not yet collected any.

Description of issue: Since I started playing the game, anytime I press M to look at my map and compass, my frame-rate will drop from ~40 Fps down to ~15. If the game is already running at lower Fps, the effects gets even worse. Furthermore, the lag also appears when I look at treasure maps or when I get the sextant buff. I have asked around within our company, and I am not the only one experiencing this issues, so something needs to be fixed asap. as it is making these utilities a hazard and chore to use. Sometimes, we have noticed that the Fps drop persists even after you stop looking at your handheld map, which can then be fixed by re-opening the map and closing it again. The severity of the Fps drop seems to vary, so some of our people simply didn't notice that they lost ~10 Fps whenever they looked at a map (going from ~50 to ~40). My guess is that the drop is also tied to how your settings are set up, as well as your hardware. This case, I think I remember him saying that he was playing entirely without shadows. Repro: open world map, treasure map or apply sextant buff EDIT: I have attached a dxdiag since i will be upgrading my system soon. Though i am certain this is a game programming caused bug. EDIT 2: I have just installed my new hardware and did a quick test. Sure enough, my performance is a lot better, but taking out the compass still drops my fps from ~60 to around ~30 when looking out at the ocean. DxDiag.txt DxDiag2.txt
