Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

Hatch and map question

how come sometimes with a rainbow map or green map and silk cord the hatch doesn’t Always appear on your map when it has spawned on the map? 

to my understanding, the hatch is on the map from the start of the match, but it’s invisible and your map only silently tracks the hatch, only to be revealed after it has spawned. 

For example, if I run all over the map at the beginning of the match, the map is supposed to silently track the hatch, and when the hatch spawns, I can find it easily. But this doesn’t always happen.

    I do not think it works like that. I know that hatch location is fixed when the game loads at beginning of the match, but how will the map track something that's hidden?

    You can't track the hatch until it has spawned.

    I don’t think that’s true. 

    There are are times when say the gates just got powered and I activate my map and I can see the hatch way on the other side of the map

    I guess, you do not understand how the hatch spawns work.

    The hatch spawns when the number of generators completed is equal to the number of alive survivors + 1.

    For example, if 4 survivors are alive, the hatch will spawn when (4+1=5) Generators are done.
    if 3 Survivors, the hatch will appear when (3+1=4) Gens are done.
    if 2 survive, the hatch will appear when (2+1=3) Gens are complete.
    And, if you are the last one remaining, (1+1=2) Gens need to be done.
    The hatch also spawns when just 1 gen is done. But for that you need to die.
    (0+1=1) Gen. LOL
