Guild Wars 2

On VG the occasional green circle would not be visible.

On Gors I was not able to see eggs and occasionally the big AoE orange circle where you have to hop into the updraft would not display.

On Sab the arrow indicating the fire wall is not displaying properly. It’s extremely faded and lasts pretty much a fraction of a fraction of a second, IF it shows up. That’s the major killer for me…

Anyone else experiencing this? I’ve been told it’s a Mac beta issue. Anyone raiding on the Mac beta?

Someone I know has those problems; they’re on an incredibly kittenty PC. Someone else sometimes ends up having green circles at VG permanently active and Sabetha’s flamewall is flickering for them. Again, it’s a kittenty PC. Both on windows.

Now, this doesn’t exactly help you but it might be rather something related to specs rather than mac, but then again mac’s aren’t really customizable when it comes to hardware from what I know.

Well all my specs are solid for this, but obviously there’s no dedicated GPU.

I’m running this game on:
OS X El Capitan
MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013)
Processor 2.6 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics Intel Iris 1536 MB
Social Security Number… Just kidding

I guess the question I would have for any Mac Beta users or anyone who has had a friend go through this, will running on bootcamp solve this? Is there anything I can do specifically on the mac beta? Does anyone runt his on the Mac Beta and not experience these problems?

I mean I’m not running this game on high graphics obviously, but it even states in the minimum system requirements that even Late-2011 macbook pro’s should work for this granted this somehow includes a dedicated graphics card? Is it perhaps the graphics card that is the issue? Maybe I just need to go test it out on bootcamp before I ask all these questions but I would greatly appreciate any personal experience stories regarding this.

My PC is “good” (and is not a mac) and I know others with decent rigs that sometimes have these problems as well. The Vale Guardian issues (green/blue sometimes not showing up) are the only ones that have ever happened to me personally, and these ones have happened to multiple people at once so I think that the VG issues at least are server side. The gorseval and sabetha issues may be a result of PCs taking on more than they can handle or may be related to using a mac, as these have only happened to a few people I know and I can’t say I have ever seen them happen to more than one person at once.

I’ve had a few friends run in to this problem. For most of them, lowering their graphics settings ended up helping.

I have this issue from time to time as well. Seems like a texture or something just doesn’t load. Happens most often for me on Sabetha’s flamewall arrow and VG’s green lightning circles. Usually fix it by:
1. Zone in and Out
2. Restart Client
3. Do Nothing. It will randomly “pop in” at some point and then stay for the rest of the time.

I think everyone I have raided with has had some sort of visual glitch at one time or another so I do not believe it to be a mac exclusive issue. My specs are “good.” gtx 970 16gb ram oc’d i2500k.
