Guild Wars 2

at Citadel of Flames explorable Path 1, right after rescuing the engineer, one need to cross a hallway while dodging boulders of fire that keep swinging from left to right. the boulders are invisible to me!!! and other players too, I just cant see them thus not able to contribute to this portion of the dungeon. I do see their health bars but only one or two of them, for the most part I just dont see the boulder coming at me and killing me.

This has been the case for months (I think since culling was removed from PvE). Many other environmental animations/effects in dungeons were similarly broken at that time. Apparently being instakilled by invisible boulders is anet’s idea of a fun time, since they appear to have approximately zero interest in fixing this bug. I’m half expecting the CoE laser trap to become invisible in an upcoming patch…

Supposedly turning up your graphical settings will make the boulders visible.

Nevertheless, the invisible boulders cast shadows on the ground so it is still possible to get past the trap by watching carefully. Alternately, bring a mesmer along for all CoF path 1 runs.

I had this issue as well. Fixed it by turning the “character model limit” setting to at least medium and the boulders appeared again.
