NPC names are visible despite “Show NPC names” option is checked off.

Suggestions I’ve tried:
- Enabled “Show NPC names” option, then disabled
- Rebooted game
- “-repair” command line argument

Issue began after August 20th update.

(hope this is not a double post, forums seem to be playing up too)

I’m getting the same bug, guessing it’s due to the recent removal of culling. Rather than more NPCs being visible, their name are showing up but not the npc model it self, even though NPC names are set to not show unless ALT is pressed.

I have recored this to show it clearer.

its not just NPC names player names are allso showing makeing these new events a bit anoying coz i cant see whats happening for the amount of player/pet names visible on my screen in a zerg i hope this gets adressed soon

ps why did anet feel the need to mess with the graphics engine in such a half ased way to pander to low spec players who quite frankly should have bought a better graphics card if they had problems playing coz the solution is turning out to be an even biger problem for the rest of us
