Bad Textures after nVidia R331.82
And you think that is something that ANet can fix and not NVidia ?
Just downgrade your drivers.
EVERY MMO is awesome until it is released then its unfinished. A month after release it just sucks.
Best MMOs are the ones that never make it. Therefore Stargate Online wins.

same drivers, works fine.
You don’t win friends with Salad.
Looks fine to me and working as intended. Maybe ArenaNet should have paid the fees nvidia was asking to support their game. What you thought gw2 was going to work perfect on their cards without hidden license fees ?
Welcome to CPU bound gaming developers.
Looks to me like something’s bad.
Probably hardware.
- Run a benchmark against your video card, I wager you’ll see more of the same and worse. (There are free tools for this)
- after you try the benchmark go back to the old drivers, I’m guessing they didn’t fail so badly as the current, so that should give you a more or less working setup.
- if the benchmark failed, take a gander at the video card market, your video card may not be long for this world.
(May be a heat factor that a benchmark may not hit – if it takes several minutes in-game to fail the textures, you might need to leave the game up till they fail before the benchmark shows the same).
I’ve seen the likes of that screenshot exactly 3 times. Once on a PS3 with bad hardware, once on a PC with a video card that was slowly dying (new drivers made it much worse…), and once when the wrong version of direct-x was deliberately used where it had no place being used.
Oh, I admit, this may be a software problem. I doubt that very much. The clue for me is that snow blue texture on the ground. That’s not a missing texture, that’s not a wrong texture. That’s a broken texture. I expect either something is misusing memory, or corrupting it along the way.
Mind, all this is speculation.
Point is: other people on the same drivers said ‘ok for me’, and its plainly not ok for you. Check that hardware outside of the game to make sure its really the game and not something else.

(Edit: May be worth noting the PC card I had fail in that way was nVidia, but this was 5+ years ago)
