Q: How do I get the RI to show up on my minimap?

I'm playing on a new computer now and the RI on objectives doesn't show up on my minimap. Anyone have any idea why?

Just throwing it out there, are you sure the objectives in question actually have ri?

As far as I remember there is no setting to activate that shows that info, it's automatic.

But even if there were a checkbox hidden in the options, I don't believe switching computers would change your account settings you previously set on your old computer. My SO uses my computer occasionally and his key bindings, and other settings are different than what I have set on my account, but his settings all show up correctly even if hes using my computer, so I'm inclined to say those aren't tied to the computer but the account.

I have the same issue. on my PC I can't see RI however if I log in on my brother's laptop then I can see it normally. And yes they are on RI I would be standing there and checking the NPC buff but nothing shows on map or minimap

For me the RI is partially showing on the map/minimap. But it is like 1:30mins different than the actual one. Meaning my map tells me that RI is gone but the NPC still has like 1:30 left...

Strangely enough, I just copied the entire folder from my "working" computer to my new computer and I still couldn't get RI to show up... So it's not a local file/build problem? And since the same account gets RI on one computer and not another, it's not an account setting? What the heck is going on...

I found this thread if that helps?

Just delete your AppData\Roaming\GuildWars2 folder and restart the game. The game will auto repair and will fix that issue

what's RI?

RI is the buff on the lords/supervisors that cannot be killed. I just redownloaded the whole game and still got the same issue. Can we have anyone help us with this, please?

I did that too, took the file from my brother's laptop and it is not working. also re-downloading the game is not working.

I also made another account in NA servers, my main being on EU and it has the same issue. can't see RI timer on the map or minimap

From the reddit post:

The reason why this happens is because the map timers and the tick timer (top of your screen) are based on your local system time whereas the debuff is generated by the server.The timers are based on your system time to save on resources. Make sure they are correct.

explanation by that_shamanThe reason why this happens is because the map timers and the tick timer (top of your screen) are based on your local system time whereas the debuff is generated by the server. The easiest way to figure out if your clock is off is to observe a tick, if it stays on --:-- for a long time this means your clock is off.

and solution, also by that shaman

Try re syncing it with a time server in your configuration screen or use a third party application.

If you're in the US/Canada, your system clock just got automatically set due to DST, which got you back on the same clock as the game servers. However, if there's something odd going on (as it appears that there might have been), it will go out of sync again, eventually.

If windows, you can choose to sync whenever connected to the internet. There are a lot of time servers from which to choose and it mostly doesn't matter which as long as you sync.

Bump !!! I've had this problem for like 2 years now ...... i made a thread about this in the past and submitted a report ticket and never got a response .

Aphs I found a solution, if u r using windows 10 go to adjust date/time "Set time automatically" and make sure u choose your timezone or you can also set it automatic it should fix the problem :) good luck!
