Playing on steam version. Seen this happen a few times last week too. > Clip shows the icons dance at start \> did a fight \> the dance off continues at 25 secs. ps: 10 minutes later they are still moving… very… slowly… with… long… intervals… pps: changing window sizes from full maximized window size to small resized size doesn’t make any difference. ---

I can confirm, those same 3 battle icons are dancing for me too. PC Steam ---

It’s doing this without a clear solution for almost 2 years. > [@\[Reported\] Festival of the Sun: Map graphics bug](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/reported-festival-of-the-sun-map-graphics-bug/62804): > > Platform, device version and operating system: Android Screenshot or image: [test] What you were expecting to happen, and what actually happened: Just visiting the new event’s map page to start a fight. All the little icons move into place as expected, but a few don’t stop moving and spaz out. How often does this happen? When did it begin happening? Every time I visit the Fight tab / map. It doesn’t happen on PC, nor did it happen to me during the last World Event. The ‘proposed’ way is to wait 5 seconds. 😤 ---

It’s a bit wonky. I had dancing battle icons 3 fights in row, then played dead on 4th fight, then they went back to battle dancing for a few fights… heh ---

Hey all, This is an ongoing issue the team is aware of. It is a mix of issues but, part of it is due to the camera on the map moving to adjust to the battle locations on the board. While we try to reduce the amount these locations move but as you can see, it is occurring and becomes more difficult when there are numerous locations on the map as well. I’ve raised this with the team again though, in the meantime. Jeto - Support Human 🧙🏻‍♀️ ---

It was definitely stormy on my world map when I was doing my fights today. The far right location in particular was doing with a hurricane spinning the icon around in circles. My ADHD brain felt terribly distracted \<.\< ---

> [@Jeto](#): > > It is a mix of issues but, part of it is due to the camera on the map moving to adjust to the battle locations on the board. Wait, what? This is just the UI trying to place four somewhat randomly positioned nodes on screen in a way that they don’t intersect. While there is overlap it jitters the clashing nodes until everything fits in. This approach is usually used when you have a really huge number of nodes that make it too inefficient to calculate fitting positions against each other. It doesn’t really make sense here, somebody probably just cut & pasted some code snippet. Reduce the size of the hit boxes (it’s a rectangle, including the text) and the issue goes away. ---

Worst week yet, violently dancing icons EVERY single battle. Genuinely getting seasick. Please fix this, it’s been like two years. [https://giant.gfycat.com/RedLateGerbil.mp4](https://giant.gfycat.com/RedLateGerbil.mp4) ---

I can make them stop dancing too… if I adjust window size & aspect ratio! 😉 Doesn’t fix the underlying problem though, placement algorithm is fucked and needs to be reworked. Only been two years. ---

Honestly I’d prefer the devs spend their time trying to fix the lag issue and other serious problems, or addressing longstanding quality of life issues (availability of books, doomscrolls, useless daily deals, UI improvements) rather than working on this. It’s daft but has zero impact on my gaming experience, unlike those other issues
