The red "Foe Markers" don't show up on the compass until the enemies are about 30 feet away even when my PERCEPTION is 10. Normally PER is 7 or 8 but anyhow there is this annoying Perception glitch.

SPECIAL points were invested into PER specifically to have the "red warning ticks" show on the compass at a far distance to avoid unwanted encounters.

I did an experiment and found out this issue only happens when Fallout Wanderer's Edition (FWE) Mod is installed.

On my other PC I un-installed FWE and all mods, then "deleted all local game files" and the re-downloaded FO3 in Steam. Played a few minutes, quit out and then one by one started re-installing mods -- but not FWE.

I did install all other mods though.

On the PC with FWE installed, these warning markers don't show up on the compass until so close (about 20 ~ 30 in-game feet away) that enemies are already aware of your presence.

On the PC with *no* FWE installed and a Perception even at 6 the enemy markers show up on the compass fairly far away (about 70 feet maybe). With PER 10 there are no surprises because enemies off in the distance show on the compass

Does anyone know how to fix this FWE Perception-Compass Warning Marker glitch?

[Edit -- one last (maybe important?) note: The PC with FWE also has Darnified UI installed, the one without FWE does not.]
