Guild Wars 2

Hey!

I’m a bit unsure if this topic belongs in the Tech support sub or in the WvW sub but I’ll take my chances here as I didn’t see any similar topics in the tech supp sub!

So,I went on a small 3 month break from Gw but I’ve come back now. Before I came back I never had any issues with loading/rendering visuals in WvW at all but now I have that problem constantly. The problem is mostly with character visuals,weapons and sometimes even textures such as walls or…anything,really. Where there should be a farm house in the South camp there’s usually nothing and I can see throug it. Like if I were hacking,lol.

But the real problem is characters. I’ll usually go invisible for a couple of minutes after loading screen,which is annoying but it would be ok if it weren’t for the fact that even weapon skills will go invisible. No visuals whatsoever will render. Nothing. I can press weapon skills and I’ll see that they work since they’ll damage mobs or enemy players.

In addition to that there’s the fact that even enemies won’t have their armor,weapon OR skills rendered either. Unless the enemy stays around me for minutes. Which usually is not the case unless there’s dueling.

So all in all,I’m fighting invisible players most of the time in wvw. Weapons and their corresponding weapon skills won’t render either so that’s invisible too.

Does anyone else have this issue? it’s extremely frustrating

My specs;
Nvidia GTX 970
i7 3770k 3,5GHz
8gb ram
Windows 7 64 bit

Delete your .dat data file. Redownload the entire game (just start the launcher). See what happens. If it works, great. If it doesnt, ha made you redownload the entire game.

sounds like slow access to the model pallets or something?
what HDD u have? and make some cleanning to spped up data, how many services do u have running? theres alot of thing that can be the cause of it.

Before change to ssd i had quite a few of similiar behaviors.

Thanks guys,I’ll try and do both of your advices right now!

EDIT: I’ll clean up the HDD before I re-download the game….Dawdler
EDIT2: Cleaning up the HDD and Defragging it did the trick!
