Guild Wars 2

So I used to run fotm on medium graphic on Macbookpro 13" Mid 2012,V 10.9.5 and it was running fine before. But for a month or so I couldn’t see the sparkling fire on the wood floor in Cliffside fractal which I used to see it just fine. I’m not sure what happened because none of my friend is using mac version. Sometimes I saw some on some level but sometimes I can only see the dim of light from the sparkling but not like the full orb. Sometimes I see nothing only heard the sound of it. This really make me don’t want to go with PUG because I’m afraid I’m going to slow them down because right now I have to guess from the sound which is very confusing.

I asked some people in PUG and none of them having the same problem. They said it might be because of the graphic so I tried to set on the highest, only have render setting on ‘native’ even higher than before I used to. It didn’t work.

Sorry for my English. I tried to explain the best I can. Thanks.

it’s not Mac-specific — it’s a bug with a certain combination of graphics settings

You’ll have to experiment to figure out which setting it is; I know that it’s not specific to a particular computer or GPU set up.

It might be reflections or anti-aliasing or shaders or something else (or some combination). If you can get to that fractal with a group of friends, ask them to wait so you can see what it might be.

I only ran into myself recently because I had to use a laptop while my computer was getting fixed and it only happened after I changed a bunch of settings, which is why I’m so sure it’s not mac specific.

good luck

PS your English is fine; I had no trouble understanding (and if you hadn’t mentioned it, I would have assumed just the usual amount of typos etc of most of us posting on the internet).

Ohh thank you so much. That might be it. I found this problem after I changed some of my settings. Now I know where to start! Thank you so much for the help.

Great. If you figure out which one it is, please post back here so we can share with the hundreds of others that run into this. (I’ll do the same.)

Last night I copied the settings from one of my friend and it did work. But I need to test it for few times to make sure and I’ll share it for sure.
