What did you do?
I joined a multiplayer game and other users pinged location on the map.

What happened?
The pings did not show up on the map.

What did you expect to happen instead?
I want the ping to be displayed on the map

Does it happen always, once, or sometimes?
It happens all the time now.

Hello, thanks for the report.
In Interface settings, is your "Chat message delay" setting set to 0 seconds?

Yes. It is set to 0 seconds.

So that's the problem. In the code, pings are considered "chat item" and use the same setting for how long they should be displayed as the chat. Since it's set to 0, they don't show up at all.

So, I wanted to add a separate option for ping display duration, but found out, the system is more entangled with chat system than I thought, so I am moving this to minor issues.

As it is now "Chat message delay" needs to be non-zero for pings to show up on map.

I understand. Thank you for taking the time to answer.
