I'd say about 1/2 the time whenever I tele to Priff the damn map flips so I'm facing directly south. Why? I have clearly clicked the stupid map compass icon button so I want to face NORTH. Wtf do I "flip" to facing south half the time? Thanks for your time, I never seem to have enough of my own.

this has been going on since prif was released waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back,

but jagex have said its an engine issue. and very difficult to fix

so i assume the amount of time it would take to fix it is quite large, for such a minimal bug, its probably very low on priority to fix

This is such a strange thing. They tried fixing it once and the game broke in spectacular ways. The graphics didn't know which way to go, so everything was twisted.

At times they have teased a fix, like making a ludicrous statement of asking if we want it fixed.

It's one of those standards I hold. Some day they will make a tiny patch that makes my map go north. On that day I will know they are being serious.

Because obviously they can patch it. When I arrive at those broken destinations the game can manually adjust the map north. What a concept.

"an engine issue"? lol. How can I tele other places and it works fine but 50% of the time when I tele to Priff it's screwy? Sounds like Jagex just doesn't have a clue. Again! lol. Thanks for your time, I never seem to have enough of my own.

I remember Jagex saying ages ago that it couldn't be fixed.
And yep, it does seem off that it only happens in certain places.

I found that link on Reddit. It goes to a July 2021 dev stream where they talk about this problem.

From watching it, the expectation is the problem would be getting fixed. But it hasn't. War's retreat they say was a decision, but one can assume Priff needs more work. Especially those who saw the scrambled version I described in the post above.

That would have me concerned of the entire game if they claim they can't fix their own game lol. I hear RS is spaghetti code, but to actually hear devs themself say it is something else :p

Can they not just take the teleport logic that works seemingly everywhere else... and apply it to this one instance where it doesn't work? I mean I guess if it was that easy they would have did it, but I can't imagine what the code for that must look like.
