Guild Wars 2

If anyone has the time to do me a small favor, could you test these pants in Verdant Brink and let me know if you encounter this issue in the video below?
I’ve been getting these artifacts in many Heart of Thorn areas, but very rarely in Tyria.

I’ve done most of everything I can think may resolve the issue, from driver updates, checking for corruption, even replacing the GPU and disabling all overlays/sweetfx/reshade, all third party anything, etc But the problem persists, even with a brand new system and a different OS (Was using Windows 7 in that video, Windows 10 currentlly).

Thank you!

Yep, I got the same artifacts on the panties of that armor in Verdant Brink at the first waypoint of the map. Only zooming as close to the character possible makes it go away. But you can’t play with that zoom.

No artifacts at the Pact Encampment waypoint in Verdant Brink.

In Auric Basin I can use the first two zooms without getting the artifact at the first waypoint of the map. No artifacts at the Southwatch WP.

In Tangled Depths Ogre Camp no artifacts whatsoever.
But at the first waypoint I got the artifacts outside the first two zoom tiers.

No artifacts in Dragon Stand and Bloodstone Fen.

So there seems to be some environment or ambient shader screwing over the depth detection at higher zoom tiers in some places in Tangled Depths and Verdant Brink for that armor.

I feared that to be the case…
Sigh, what are the chances Anet would look into this?

Probably not high from a post in the general discussion forum. I suggest making a ticket, making an ingame bug report or a post in the bug forum if you want someone to see it.
