I have tried and failed to get a answer to this on the in game help channel. I seem to be having a hard time getting people to understand my problem. So here it goes.

I am using a Buzzard with the two scanning rigs, Sisters expanded probe launcher, Sisters Combat probes x5. ( yes I know that for Cosmic Signatures you only get half strength compared to Sisters core probe.

I am not new to probing . I have scanned down hundreds of sites and ships before.

My problem:

I launch my five probes and set to cover the whole system at 64AU for all 5 probes.

I have changed map to solar system map and see my probes covering the whole system.

I scan and find many results including Cosmic Anomalies, cosmic signature, structures and so forth as my setting are set to all.

When I click on one or more result , normally you would find a smaller red sphere, a red circle or a red dot indicating that particular result.

In this case, I am not getting that red dot, sphere or circle. No mater how far I zoom in. Same for all results.

I have not re scanned at a smaller radius or anything.

I logged on a different character and tried the same scan and I do have the red dots , circles, and sphere. Same scan setting set to "All"

Please help no idea why. I did one relog and still same problem.

I have seen this happen, I find that I need to zoom in REALLY close and move my probes. Usually its the box or the arrows thats covering a very small orb.

Does clear cache solve the prob?

Esc/Reset settings

Dunno if it's a fix but when r click doesn't work, clear cache is next :)
