Guild Wars 2

Since Draconis Mons lighting and nVidia 10xx cards came up, I’d be curious if anyone else sees these (see attachment).

This is the only area that ever triggers this from my card, and only in the lower right corner of the GW2 window, but it doesn’t show on GW2 generated screenshots (only if I take the screenie with Windows itself).

Bonus: my minimap is usually there in the corner, mostly obscuring this flickering checkerboard, but not completely. The minimap is not in any way distorted (save for the semi-transparent parts where the checkerboard shows through). It becomes a lot more apparent if I move the minimap to the other corner. Especially well visible in the recording spot near Webby Mother.

Hi sorry if this is a late post but I am on a gtx 1070 by EVGA.

I get a corrupt/hatched shadow playing in some areas with bloom shadow effects. It also looks weird when the shadow comes across the HUD.

Ascalonian Catacombs. The starting part, as well as p2 boss area.

Underground Facility fractal. Where you have to place 9 bombs.

Harathi Hinterlands. Area where you escort the giant and do the guild rush.

This is not my video, but is posted by another gw2 player and shows the problem I have been having.

Here he is in the Harathi Hinterlands area I mentioned earlier.

All my graphic settings are high. Apart from character model limit which is on lowest.
I currently run the latest drivers and I have tried using older ones with the same result.

Here is my screenshot of the Ascalonian Catacombs P2.

Hope it gets fixed soon. I actually RMAed my card thinking it was a hardware problem. When I finally got it back, showed the same problem.

I also have a 780ti and a 980 and both do not have this problem.

Hi Ren, please let us know if you’re still experiencing the issue after today’s patch. Thanks!

On a GTX 1070 by MSI, it seem fixed now:

I have done a quick check on few zone:
https://www.twitch.tv/videos/150014765

not a checkerbox lighting bug, but a complete darklight filter that flickers in the tangled depths. It may not be very apparant from the two screenshots, but one is darker than the other, and it’s flickering is quite headache inducing.

EDIT: I should probably specify that it changes with camera angle

I can confirm that => https://www.twitch.tv/videos/150135068

but it’s not only on GTX10xx series:

i have it on my MSI GTX1070 and on my laptop (GTX860M)

i saw this morning, in the teku nuhoch tree. i go up here every day for provisioner tokens and this is the first time i noticed it.

i have a gtx 770, it flickers from light to dark as the camera angle changes.

Yup shadow bug seems to be fixed but light flickering appear again. Checked it in arah. It a bit batter then was befor btw. I noticed less/none flickering when i near but it still flickering in far. Checked in arah inside laps just near dungeon enter.

Hi,

forwardrender is pretty important for us wine users out there. For us, the game is more or less CPU bound and still forwardrender gives a big increase in fps.

You can play without it, but the you need some really beefy cpu.

I have a GTX 1060. Similar issues with lights going on and off as the camera moves in Tangled Depths.

The problem goes away if I turn off the Light Adaption function.

I found shadow bug again in arah near belka boss. Btw path 2 belka boss dont start cutscene very often and you cant kill her. Soo only options its restart this bug old as gw2 itself and need to be fixed too.

Corrupted shadows still persist after the patch.
On the ice elemental there’s a weird split with the lighting on his body and the other is in Sorrows Embrace dungeon.

GTX 1070

Many zone have been fixed but like it was report some shadow glitch still present:

MSI GTX1070

exemple on draconis mons.

Hello all, i back to Guild Wars, so now i will bumping this thread with new info, and poke anet devs and nvidia with this problem. And for start, mirrors in this location all had shadow bug, apper at high shadow setting, disapper at low.

And one more, for ppl who effected and care to solve this, submite report to nvidia, they know this bug, its on they dev list but we need more reports to push it up.

And same bugs on shadows in Vulcano Fractal, starter room

And same at Undergraund Facility, huge shadow bug. Its not clear showed on screenshots but all this squares a moving around so its realy enoing.

Lunar Pass, Durmand Priory, near skill point

Yep that problem was fixed in some locations but i always have it in same places as you.

And if devs fixed it in some location, i think they can fix it in otherAnd i thought its a good idea to post here locations so devs could find and fix them, and as i asked befor, all who had this – submite report to nvidia, lets push this to they top bug list. they know it but it on low prior for them as i understand.

Arah p1, turrets room. Minor shadow bug.

Anyone else’s characters on the select screen have super washed out portraits?

It’s doing the checkered shadows again in the beta preview in the area of the bank with the water fountain. If shadows are on and you turn on reflections on all it disappears. If you turn off reflections it reappears and won’t go away until shadows are completely off.

Even in Amnoon oasis…

Huge shadow bug at underground facility, under big fans.

I really wish they would fix this It’s been a year since I’ve posted/submitted tickets. The patch they put out fixed only very few of the corrupted shadows. There’s so many in the game it’s ridiculous..

I also have the artifacting/flickering shadow bug. so far its shown up in ascalon catacombs as well as a few fractals

i am also using a founders edition gtx 1070 card.

hopefully this gets fixed soon

Sorry haven’t replied in so long, yes after recent patches it is still there.

1.Shadows having a blocky or corrupted looking appearance.
2.Flickering shadows.

Still persistent in the same areas.
I am still using the GTX 1070 video card.

For all my posts. They already had screenshots and description where i got this bug, so i can add i using GTX 1080. And i think its :
Shadows having a blocky or corrupted looking appearance.
Flickering shadows.
And my settings

i dont have any screen shots. but ive experienced the blocky/ flickering shawdows on my gtx 1070 in these areas so far

undergroup facility in the room with the fans

asalon catacombs, path 3, the room with the various mounds of dirt that you have to kill.

when entering the room in ascalon catacombs the issue seemed stronger towards the right side of the room (when entering)

i will also note that this only happens when shadows are on of course

Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti here.

I still get shadow flickering – e.g. in Arah path 1 in the “cannon” room right before the boss, where you have to carry the crystals through. Sadly I don’t have a screenshot of that.

Also, I get the checkerboard artifacts in Draconis Mons around the minimap – please see also the attached screenshot.

Driver verion 385.41 – but happened also on previous versions.

Also attached, my graphics settings.

Nolan’s cavern
depending on zoom there’s a darkness, or a ghastley eerie blue glow

Edit:
gtx 1060 gpu
Intel 2500k 3.3ghz cpu (its a miracle it still works)

AC dungeon p3 and i think other pathes too

GTX 1070
Corrupted Shadows
Shadows having a blocky or corrupted looking appearance.

-The Amnoon Oasis – Building with Trading Post and Bank, and Casino with Choya’s fighting
-Ascalonian Catacombs Dungeon – The entire dungeon is pretty bad especially at the end of Path 3 with the Giant Skelk.
-Sorrows Embrace Dungeon
-Chantry of Secrets – Giant globe, floor shadows
-Underground Facility Fractal
