Came to report same issue
I tried to reproduce it, but the spheres detection is working fine on my machine. But I know, that it's not working for other users. I don't know how to reproduce it.
I have the exact same problem. Have tried to reinstall Overwolf, the interactive map, clearing cache in %appdata%. Nothing seems to fix it, it's weird because it's _just_ the spheres
I just came here to check if you guys found a solution
I will take another look next week and update to 1.1
came to report the same issue, but I also noticed that it doesn't show "Normal" nodes in the map either. I disabled "deposits" (generic rock marker) because they were persistent after mining the deposits, and the named resource deposits disappear as expected after mining, but my live map only shows Impure and Pure resource nodes (and Somersloops but not Mercer Spheres as reported by others.) Let me know if there is anything I can do to help you track this down. In the meantime, I've been using a web based map (not promoting, but it was in the official Satisfactory wiki if anyone else needs it) but it only reads the info from whichever save file you upload and you have to upload your latest autosave every time you want to refresh the data.
The other map does show structures, power networks, etc., which I would love to see added to your map eventually. My favorite/#1 request that it has that I would like to see is "dropped items". Useful for finding every last part hiding in the tall grass around crash sites, or the creature parts that dropped when it was killed on the run through the bushes. I know this is a labor of love for both you and the other map creator, so I'm not gonna grab my pitchfork, but maybe you could pick each others brains for how you each implemented certain features? Loving the map, thank you for all you do!
Just an update, hatchers are also not showing up
Nvm, just noticed they weren't even in the list.
Unfortunately it seems this issue is still ive. Unfortunately I've tried nearly everything to get Mercer Spheres to show on the live map but no luck. Has there been any update on tracking down this bug?
No, I could not reproduce it on my machine
it works well here and I don't know what's the difference
Any logs I can provide that may help?
Not now, thx
I can check again in a few days
Thank you!
It's only the Mercer Sphere which are not displayed right?
I'll play around with the map more to be sure but as of now, yes.
I would like to note that they only do not appear while using Live Mode in case that wasn't previously stated
Yes
Gosh, I am having the same problem... no spheres in live mode. I just switched live off and they all popped up.
Same here.
Same problem here
Ok, I will reserve some time next week for this issue
Thank you
I'm also not showing mercer spheres, but as I mentioned earlier, live mode for normal nodes and deposits aren't working as expected. The *deposit* capping normal nodes seems to be taking the normal nodes flag, so normal nodes that haven't been touched show up in live mode, but disappear after mining out the default deposit. All of the random deposits also show as normal nodes, then disappear after mining, but the "default" (white rock icon) deposit stays on in both live mode on and off, unless manually toggled off in the show menu. Map version 1.0.6, Game version EGS CL#418783 if that helps. I'm also happy to share any logs or my game saves, if that would help you in any way!
GG @Canis, you just advanced to level 1!
Yes, there are some limitations in the live mode regarding the normal nodes.
ok, if it's a known issue, I won't bring it up again, but let me know if I can do anything to help.
I will, thx! I should have time this week to work on it
if it helps, I believe that the deposits used to have a "normal" on the tooltip when mining, or maybe "pure" but when they changed that (no idea which update/build) it may have rearranged the flags for nodes as well. good luck!
I think I understand what you mean.
You can see if live mode is supported for that type in the tooltip. if it's not supported, I simply show them even with live mode enabled.

But this could be confusing. I could hide them in live mode, unless the locations are static (always there)
I released 1.1.0 of the Overwolf app. Can you test if the issue is fixed? @chief Bane @Achilles @Canis
Testing now
GG @Achilles, you just advanced to level 1!
You are amazing. The issue appears to be fixed
Great! Can you check if something else is broken now? I had to adjust the position tracking. In my tests, it looked correct.
In addition, locations which are not supporting live mode are hidden in live mode
Will do! I'll have to check later on as I have more time but as of now Mercer Spheres, Sombersloops, and hard drives are accurately located in the ten or so objects I've been by
Powerslugs and foods are reporting correctly so far
So far I have not found anything out of place
everything looks good on my end, mercer spheres are showing up correctly, I'll let you know if I notice anything out of place
Disabling ALL live mode not supported locations might have been overkill, as it applies to the impure and pure nodes on the map, which were at least something. now impure, normal, and pure nodes are all missing, with live mode deposits showing as normal nodes until mined
