    I have been having the same issues…I went into customs to play with the targeting and from what I gather there are two things I think I figured out. One, you basically have to have it pixel-perfect to target a gen, and two, you have to aim with her finger, not the center of your screen. When I try to aim using the center of my screen and the waypoint, it would never lock onto the gen but if I shift my camera to the right and aim with her left finger towards the gen it would lock on. Even then it seems it has to be pixel-perfect.

    That said they totally need to fix that and make it easier to target a gen. Right now I waste so much time trying to get the dog to lock onto a gen that it always pops or I get to the gen before I can send the dog.

    I find this to be the most frustrating part about playing Houndmaster - A lot of the time you will end up needing to slow movement down and just stare at a generator to try and get pinpoint accuracy on pointing to a generator. Otherwise the dog just walks like 10 ft ahead of you because you missed the action.

    Just put a little orb UI element around a generator so I can tell what I need to point at. The aura or "estimate" of where I should point is too annoying.
