Upon further investigation, it seems to be caused when it's trying to save the game more than once at the same time: best way to trigger it is to disable background save, enable save on every level, and enable save on leave zone.
Having satellite internet is a lot like relying on the processes described in those RFC's for your internet. Except, instead of needing to worry about statues interrupting your connection, this time you worry about the weather. I have satellite internet. Fun, no?

Erm... Don't you think it just has something to do with saving? I always play without background saving, and I get it without fail... I'll switch of any saving at all, and test a bit...

Yes, confirmed! After saving the next minimap generated is garbled, and the get progressively worse. And not saving fixes this.

So yes, somewhere in the saving code the minimap's issues is happening...

But going back into an existing zone doesn't give it the error, only when "starting a new minimap" does it start the offset. (Cause I am thinking it's an offset issue).

Sounds like it... I never use the background save options and always save manually, so the only time I get the garbled minimap is when I quit and reload another character, which should trigger an automatic save.

I just got this bug again today. Brand new character in b23. All auto-saves are turned off. Everything was fine at first, but as soon as I got level 2 the bug appeared. There was no save done between the time that I started the game and the bug appearing.
