Map reseting size on guild ship

[chrissybunny]

Anyone know of a way to get my map to stay the same size after going to the guild air ship? It always goes back to minimum, smallest size but stays in the correct position based on the upper right corner of it. I have to 100% of the time drag and resize it from the left/lower left hand side/corner to get it back to what I want.

I've gone through the options menu and can't find anything. Everything else stays correct, just the map (not the circle automap, the real map I need to hit the hotkey to open).

Any advice/help would be appreciated.

Happens to me all the time too, unless I remember to minimize the map to normal size before I get on the ship. If I do that, then when I get off the ship and click it it goes back to the custom size I made it.

Thanks. That's weird. I wonder why everything else is saved by the game where I can change computers and it is still all correctly set up but the guild airship seems to reset the map unless it is reset by you beforehand?

That's just a byproduct of entering a very small area. The map auto-shrinks to "fit" the smaller world. I assume the same thing happens in the Crafting Hall.

With modern computers regularly having way more screen real estate than when the game was first developed, they should definitely fix this auto-shrinking feature. Having the map always open is one small way the game client could be viewed as scaling, but of course even that tiny bit of UI scaling is undone by the guild ship. Which is the most common area for players to enter.

They did some change back in 2014 that automatically resized the map behind the scenes and out of the players control.

Unfortunately SSG has not given us the means to lock the map pop-up window sizing, so we are stuck having to repeatedly manually resize the window through various instance changes.

Thank you guys for the information.
