Objective Tracker Visibility option not working

Turn it off in both places and it will work.

What's funny is that this actually occurred to me but I dismissed it, because there's no way a AAA studio could possibly screw up something as simple as ensuring that settings that appear in more than one menu change together. Lolololol.

I found that I also had to use the ping function once or twice, after which the marker disappeared until the next ping. So if you changed your setting in both locations but you still see a marker when you shouldn't, try pinging it.

Edit: Spoke too soon. Now it's back to always showing again. A+ programming.

Thank you, I hadn't realized about the other option in "Gameplay". I've discovered they do actually do different things and have detailed that in a different reply.

FYI, if at any point you try to use the "Pulse" settings for the marker and find it doesn't turn off when not pinged, the new thread for that is here. (It does sound though like you've just entirely disabled it, which seems to be working as intended.)

Same issue. I thought I had it resolved, but now it's stuck on again. Previously it seemed like pinging made it go away after the ping timer, but that's not working this time.

You should please unmark this as a solution so EA is aware it doesn't actually solve it for most people. With mine set to pulse only, the marker still shows up.

Edit: Okay, as mentioned elsewhere, now mine is somehow working after toggling the settings off and on again. We'll see if it sticks (IIRC, previously it worked for a short while and then went back to being just stuck on permanently). Thanks regardless for figuring out that they're settings for two different things, albeit extremely poorly explained in-game and inexplicably in two different menus.

Following up: Yes, you need to unmark this as a solution. At this point, my marker isn't permanently stuck on yet, but it's already popping up repeatedly when I move without me having pinged it. So this problem is definitely not caused by confusion between the two settings. The setting just isn't doing what it's supposed to do. (FWIW, it seems to be the Marker that's the problem, not the Tracker. The Tracker is only showing up when pinged, as it's set to do. The Marker is the one that keeps showing up even when not pinged.)
