Guild Wars 2

Did CoF path 1 and when I got to the rolling boulders part the boulders were invisible to me and I couldnt see them.I can see the shadows of the boulders moving but I dont see the boulders and I was not lagging.At first I thought the boulders didnt appear yet and I ran ahead and died.Is this a bug or was it intended to make them invisible?

Did this today, something was definitely up with the boulders. I had the portal up and 2 torches lit and then I saw the boulders appear. Normally they appear by the time I’m about halfway across the corridor.

Same thing happening to me. The boulders are completely invisible, all I can see is their shadows. No amount of waiting would make them load.

My girlfriend sitting next to me sees them just fine though, so I’m thinking its some graphic file that got corrupted since we’re using the same graphics card. Is there an easy way to fix this? I’d rather not have to re-download or something since I have a limited amount of bandwidth per month.

The plot thickens…

Mad Queen Malafide.7512:

Since some of the performance improvements, a large amount of effects in the game have become completely invisible. This issue was introduced at the start of the Queens Pavilion update.

In the dredge Fractal, the lava buckets do not animate, and the molten steel effect is invisible.

In Sorrow’s Embrace story mode, the lava buckets at the Iron Forgeman also do not animate, and the molten steel is invisible. (So players will just start burning, without a visible source)

In the Aetherblade jumping puzzle (not-do-secret) in Gendarren Fields, all the steam and fire effects from the traps, are invisible. This means players are knocked back and set on fire by things they cannot see.
