Guild Wars 2

Everytime I use the skill Updraft, the camera bugs out for a fraction of a second. It’s like it flickers into a zoomed in, chopped up frame.

After messing around with graphic settings, I found that turning off camera shake stops it, for a temporary fix.

Anyone else having this issue?

Is no one else experiencing this? I just want to make sure it’s not something I should be troubleshooting on my end.

This kind of camera glitch happens quite often whenever the character (or some part of it) gets too close to a surface the camera can collide with. It’s especially painful when trying to climb a object with a lot of detail — the camera randomly goes into a seizure, as if trying to get me to have one too.

I’d guess during that animation the camera movement’s origin gets too close to the ground, and the broken camera collision detection incorrectly detects the ground is between the character and the camera. Then it tries to zoom in as much as possible to deal with this.

I can’t seem to replicate the glitch with my Asura character, though. Maybe it’s got something to do with that particular animation.

Phew I thought my gfx card was messing up or something, glad I’m not the only one experiencing this.

Youre not alone dude, I have the exact same graphical bug when I use Updraft with my human ele. Anet arent good at fixing stuff its terrible, seems like they dont even read our post…
