    New Interface option to separate "World Icons"

    Issue: "World Icons" in Interface menu controls HUD icons AND compass icons
    Solution: Separate the two options

    Description:

    The toggle option for "World Icons" in the "Interface" menu currently turns off icons that appear on your HUD as well as the appearance of these icons on your compass. These should be two different settings to allow for the presence of the compass as a guide and at the same time removing flashing icons everywhere in your lovely game.

    I seem to have been mistaken? Some world icons don't show up on your compass at all (mission objectives and markers). I'd prefer the same information be available on the compass as this seems like an oddly implemented selection/division of information between the two methods (compass/HUD).

    Yeah we need a ‘compass only’ option for the world icons or put the way point marker in the compass.

    And an option to disable enemy location in the compass, currently I don’t use the compass as I have to have world icons on to know where to go, but if there was a patch where I could use the compass instead of a flashy yellow thing I wouldn’t want all enemy locations just shown to me.

    Also the ‘objectives messsges’ doesn’t turn off properly. When I turn it off the message goes off but then when the objective changes it comes back and stays there.

    I would like to separate the giant objective and vehicle icons from the lootable symbol (small empty circle). Turning off this setting turns off everything, makes it annoying to have to rub up against every container in the game to make sure you are not missing any loot. its either that, or have these crazy diamonds and squares all over your screen with the distance in meters etc. A lot of unnecessary HUD clutter mixed in with valuable useful and most importantly subtle HUD elements. Hopefully they can break these out into separate settings.

    Also yes, the objective message setting is bugged. Turn it off and it comes back any time the objective is updated, switch it on and off and again and it disappears....rinse repeat...

    Do you have the interaction prompts turned off also ? I have world icons on to know where my objective is but interaction prompts are on and the ‘x to loot/talk’ comes up. This also shows on screen which weapon your picking up/swapping tho which I’d rather not have but I need to know who I can talk to and what I can loot.
