Party arrows are broken

There is the X, obviously there is no one there.

I believe the arrow "wonders" if the other player does not move. for example i wanted my to get back home after i accidently teleported to my hearth and didn't have wine or beer. i had to walk back and whenever my party member didn't move the arrow would start to wander around the map, pointing in the wrong direction. when he moved, it would reset itself. and not wander a little bit, iam talking about pointing straight north instead of straight east. i assumed it had to do with the coordinate thingy so that people couldn't locate people by coordinates.

Ive had it happen several times, where the arrow does not point to the player. Just points to the last place the game knew where the player is.

And Ive never seen it fix itself when this happens, moving the partied person does not fix it.

In our case it was fixed when I arrived within a minimap of blue's actual location.

For me it really did help to move the other party member. Only for short periods of time though, then he would have to move again.

I think I never was at this place of the lake, maybe I was while driving a boat to the other side but this place still is kinda random.

i noticed this too, 2 times within a short period. a party member had been afk for a while and the arrow would point west when the player was not in that direction, tho i was not able to follow the arrow to see if there was a x somewhere because they would not stay still after coming back.
