Compass directions are backwards.
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

I was playing on the =UN=/ZaP server #1, and I was near Green mountain. I was trying to head North of there so I got out my compass to make sure which direction was North. I ended up in Zelenogorsk running what was shown to be North East. According to the map, it's supposed to be South West of Green Mountain. I turned around and looked at the tower on top of green mountain and noted that the compass said it was South West. So my compass was displaying its directions exactly backwards. I am quite familiar with this area of the map, so I'm certain it was the compass and not me. I usually follow my compass just to make sure I don't run off course to one side or the other too much. Maybe the compass is correct and the map has somehow been flipped around, but it seems more likely that the compass was bugged. I haven't attempted to reproduce it yet, but I will try and see if I can edit this post with results later on.

I can confirm this to happen once in awhile but not always. Mostly damaged worn can sometimes be effected. I haven't proven if it is backwards on pristine.
