Guild Wars 2

Ever since Tuesday this week, I have experienced a strange graphical bug that seems to be exclusive to Lion’s Arch and the Silverwastes (Though I have not tested every map). I have tried adjusting my graphics settings in a variety of ways to no effect. Because of the way it flickers it causes me eye strain.
This is me striking a pose while exhibiting the bug.
Box o’ Fun needn’t be present for bug to occur.

Add The Grove to that list. Doesn’t seem to be a problem anywhere else.

What are the specs on your computer?

Sorry, I am a bit of a fool where technical details of a computer are concerned. I just kind of use the kittened thing, and I am not very sure which details you are looking to know.
My computer is not very powerful, and I need to keep graphics at lower settings to avoid lag. This problem seems to be connected to the Wintersday patch last Tuesday, seeing as how that is when it began. Going to “Best performance” has no effect. Going to “Best appearance” causes minimum frame rate, but does not amplify the problem above.

I would very much like to know if anyone else shares this problem.

So I fiddled around with my settings, as I do not have a powerful computer either (laptop with integrated graphics). However, I could not seem to recreate the problem. I’m sure you’ve fiddled with every possible setting to fix this so I can’t really tell you anything to change. I’m no expert but it seems like the textures have been messed up or the way it’s being rendered is messing up. Could be some corrupted files, could be your graphics card. But I’ll allow someone more qualified to give a definitive answer.

You can try a -repair of the client, in case of corrupted files. Top of Page – Support – Search (Repair).

Conversely, or in addition, you could try updating your graphics drivers.

Good luck.
