Fix Misaligned Teammate Names in Rules of Survival

If a teammate's name or marker appears in the wrong position, first switch the game to windowed mode and change squad markers from detailed names to simple numbers. If the overlay is still offset, restore standard display scaling, test a supported resolution, restart the client, and verify that every squad member is on the same updated game version.

Version note: this guide documents an older Rules of Survival PC interface. Menu names and service availability may differ.

Confirm the problem before changing settings

Misaligned labels can be confused with network delay or an out-of-date marker. Ask a teammate to stand still in a known location and compare the character model, minimap icon, and floating label. If only the floating text is displaced, the problem is likely a UI-scaling or rendering issue.

1. Switch from full screen to windowed mode

Open the game's display settings and select windowed or borderless-window mode if available. Apply the change, return to the squad lobby or match, and recheck the marker position.

This is a useful diagnostic because exclusive full-screen scaling can place UI overlays differently from the 3D scene on some displays. If borderless mode works, keep it until the client or graphics driver is updated.

2. Use simple numbered teammate markers

Open Settings, find the advanced or teammate-marker options, and change the detailed name display to a simple mode such as squad numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4.

Numbered markers reduce label width and can make squad identification clearer even when long names overlap. Confirm that each number matches the teammate list before relying on it during combat.

3. Reset display scaling and resolution

Close the game before changing Windows display settings. Set scaling to a standard value supported by the monitor, then choose the display's recommended resolution. Reopen the game and test.

If the problem exists only at one in-game resolution, select another supported resolution with the same aspect ratio. Do not force an unusually low or stretched setting solely because an old guide listed a specific pixel size.

4. Check multi-monitor and DPI behavior

• Move the game to the primary monitor.
• Use the same scaling percentage on all monitors for the test.
• Disconnect a secondary display temporarily if the offset changes between screens.
• Avoid changing Windows compatibility DPI overrides unless you can restore the previous setting.

5. Restart and update the client

Exit the game completely, restart the device, and install any official game-client update available through the normal launcher. If the launcher provides a repair or file-verification option, use it to replace damaged UI files.

Update the graphics driver through the hardware vendor or Windows Update. Avoid third-party “driver updater” utilities.

6. Separate a UI bug from network lag

If markers jump, freeze, or update late rather than remaining consistently offset, check the connection. Stop large downloads, use a stable network, and confirm the squad is on the same region or server. A resolution change will not repair packet loss.

When to report the problem

If the error persists, capture:

• game version and launcher;
• Windows version;
• monitor resolution and scaling;
• full-screen, borderless, or windowed state;
• graphics hardware and driver version;
• a screenshot showing the character and incorrect marker.

Send the report only through the game's verified support channel. Do not upload account credentials, authentication files, or unrelated system logs.

The fastest workaround is usually windowed mode plus simple numbered squad markers. If that combination works, the evidence points to label rendering rather than teammate position data.
