Note: Thank you to everyone who has submitted art bugs in the past! In order to help keep these issues organized, each month we will be creating a new thread for these so that it does not grow to an unmanageable size. Please do not resubmit bugs if you have already posted about them in a previous art thread as we will have already seen them and added them to our bug database. Thank you!

Please post them in this thread if you come across any sort of bug that fits in the following categories:

- Stuck in the terrain or a prop
- Textural/graphical issues with the environment or world props
- Terrain or world props disappearing/flickering
- Anything else that you feel might be an art bug

General Guidelines:
- Take a screenshot with your mouse hovering over the minimap while it’s zoomed all the way in so we can see the sector name. Make sure your screenshot has a clear view of the issue too!
- If you got stuck, please describe to us what you were doing before hand, along with a screenshot (this includes listing any skill you may have used upon being pushed inside the terrain).
- If you can, open up the screenshot in a picture editor (like MS Paint) and circle or point to the issue.
- If the world or large areas of land appear to “pop” in and out or “flicker,” please be sure that you are facing the appropriate direction in your screenshot and follow the screenshot directions.

Any other art issues:
- Be as descriptive as possible
- Take a screenshot

Please attach the screenshots to your forum post rather than hosting it elsewhere.
If you have a video of the issue, please upload those to YouTube (unlisted) and link that along with your other bug information here.

For more Bugging Best Practices, see this thread.

We appreciate everyone’s help with these issues. Thank you!

I just finished getting the vista near Drowned Brine, Malchor’s Leap (southwest corner). I decided to try and swim around to the shore, and in doing so hit an invisible wall. I decided to turn around, instead of porting far away, and was then mass spammed by “you’ve hit a strong current and will be pushed back if you continue further.” I tried retracing my steps exactly, but to no avail, so I thought maybe if I relog the possible glitch will fix itself? Upon doing so I was teleported to the entrance of the zone from where it connected to the zone Straights of Devistation (kick@$$ name btw devs!)

Hope this information helps!

“You’ve hit a strong current and will be pushed back if you continue further” is displayed if you try to swim out of the map boundary. When you exited, you were out of bounds, so on relogging, it put you back at the default map start point.

Usually you can swim back the way you came right? That message appeared in all directions I tried to swim.

I was placed underneath the world… I think it may have been cause by this mechanic though?

My character is stuck in the terrain in Metrica Province outside of a cave. I can move only a tiny bit in each direction and the character only strafes. The minimap shows 2 different map names but i must be right on the border as i am only moving a matter of a few feet.
One of the screenshots shows an angle where my character is transparent except for a light rendering of my shield.
Please help. I really, really don’t want to delete this character.

I have discovere that in “Firehart Rise”, at the place south of “havoc steppes”, where there is a chest protected by some veteran spiders, you can fall on top of “Vexa’s Lab” if you run in the wall behind the chest.
You land on top of the lab and get the event notifications.

I have attached a picture with my track on the lab.

While exploring iron marches (on yaks bend) I encountered an invisible wall in Invictus Castrum. I tried high quality graphics option but nothing still showed.

I am going to try to find another way into the area but the screenshot shows me looking at the invisible wall.

Not sure if this is the right place or not, but will put it here for the time being.

My video card is not the best for playing the game. All other aspects of the PC are high end – except for the video card. So as a result, I have to have alot of the settings on low to be able to play the game. I click on the setting “Auto-Detect” in order for the game to determine the best settings. As a result, environment setting is set to low. I noticed that when it is set to low, the game removes certain components of the environment (I assume to cater for the low end card and to ensure the game runs a bit smoother). I am OK with this however it seems to remove aspects of the terrain that are key to certain achievements. I have noticed that at various points around the game, it takes out terrain that is a requirement for you to jump and reach different points – mushrooms, rocks etc. One area I noticed on the weekend is the Coddler jumping puzzle. The picture shows what happens when I have environment settings on high and then low. If it wasn’t for a friend of mine jumping with me, I wouldn’t have noticed that some of the globes were missing – and would have assumed that this was impossible to achieve. I can change the setting of environment to high with little impact on the game play, however I assume that these key parts of the environment are not meant to be hidden as part of the low settings.

As it is I still can’t get it cause my eye-hand coordination is crap!!!

I blame the Asura, but they’re all over the area with the workers and the harpies/elementals, just out of Divinity’s Reach gate in Queensdale.

It’s kind of funny, thought I’d share.

I can confirm this with Enviroment set to “Low” literarly half of the boubles are invisible, I was lucky enough to be there with a friend who didn’t have Enviroment set to “Low” so after a while we figured out whats going on when i was unable to jump on second bouble that i am actualy trying to skip one which is in the middle of them.

I submitted a bug report when it happened, but wanted to mention it here as well. In Cliffside fractal, while making my way up the platforms where you have a chance to get blown off by the gusting winds from the wall-mounted faces, I was initiall relieved when the second face knocked me not off the platform, but to the side into the cliff face. However, it put me in a small spot where I could stand but not move or jump. I was on my mesmer, so naturally I thought to try to blink out. Nope. My 4 team mates tried to finish without me so we could continue, but that was’t going to happen either. Screenshot was submitted with the bug report, but I didn’t take one to save, being unaware of this forum topic at the time.

Anyone else get stuck there? The /stuck command didn’t work either.

I’ve been seeing lots of graphical glitches in alot of locations, sometimes it makes the game unplayable. The picture of the map before the actual bug is the location. I would post more but there are too many…I could do this for hours…

I was having serious issues just like the above all over The Burrows of Moledavia, if I wasn’t so commited to playing this game I would’ve shut the game off once I had to go in there.

Character Story Mission: Further into Orr

It’s one of the tents held up by sticks that seems to be scripted to fall down? It falls down every time I’ve played it anyway (twice). When it falls down, a group of enemies/allies is usually on top of it, and they seem to float after that… Once I was also floating there, and stayed like that until I moved, then I fell back down to ground level.

Not sure if this is supposed to go in this thread or not, but it seemed like the best place.

Not sure if this is the place to put it, but I’ve been getting some odd texture issues lately. Not only have white bars been appearing everywhere, but environmental props (such as rocks, trees, parts of buildings, etc) have been appearing and disappearing randomly, and these frequently flash at a high rate. A somewhat funnier bug – though one I was unable to capture – has NPCs being rendered with environmental props as equipment (i.e, in Queensdale, near one of the dams, a guard would render with a windmill part as a shield).

Screenshots taken in Fort Marriner, Lions Arch, and include the white bars; will update with the random rocks once I can get a good shot.

EDIT: Found one, same area.

Some flickering textures regarding a patch of dirt in LA. The game is filled with these odd camera-triggered visual oddities, such as foliage, rocks, and other types of ground clutter disappearing when viewed from a certain angle.

Here’s a video on the specific patch of dirt in LA I was talking about.

There’s a spot in Lion’s Arch, at the end of the Trolls’ End JP, where you can fall through to behind / inside some terrain.

The “entrance” is that wall just behind my character in the screenshot. It can be passed through.

Also while I’m at it, that one story mission where the pale tree puts you in dream-orr is a little rough around the edges if you deliberately go wandering. Especially going past where you’re supposed to, and messing around to the far south and hugging the boundary to the east and jumping around.

I was playing a pvp match in the map with the Guild Lord you try to kill. A guardian used a skill with KD and i was knocked underground, and transported to their gate. I couldn’t get out or use skills even though I could see other players above me. I also couldn’t wp out because it was contested =.=

Attached is a screen shot of this incident.
