Only beacon owner can see rank in settlement when viewing from 'Current Beacon'

While trying to fix a beacon that was being classified as bridging two settlements, it became apparent that when looking at current beacon information, all beacons are being shown as ‘outside settlement’ for anyone other than the beacon owner, including alts.

Will provide screenshots if requested, but has been observed by both PS4 and PC players on multiple locations.

I’ve noticed this too. My alts see my plots as outside settlement.

If you can provide examples of screenshots, that would be great.

Here you go!

Thanks for the screenshot. @lucadeltodecso, any idea what’s going on?

As per testing 202:

It’s removed from gui of non-owners because it relies on data usually only available to the owner so largely just didn’t work and shouldn’t have been shown in the first place.

The gui itself is a bit misleading here anyways… we dont show the ‘beacons’ rank in the settlement, we show the beacon owner’s rank in the settlement which is not the same thing if there is more than 1 beacon by the same character…

Many thanks for the information. It’s definitely less confusing having removed it from the GUI!
