FAQโ
I can't see a rune in the world. A marker is drawn only for a visible rune closer than Distance (200 m by default). Increase the distance or check the minimap and the panel.
The "Runes" panel disappears. In a match the panel is visible only while there are active runes on the map.
No notification when I pick up a rune myself. Pickup notifications are shown only for other heroes.
