Party Icons bug
Maybe your client may have corrupted files. Try repairing it and see if it solves the issue. More info about how to do it here: https://help.guildwars2.com/entries/28148006-Repairing-the-Game-Client
it didn’t work
Same but i didn’t crash
Hmm, sorry to hear it didn’t work. Well, I don’t think it’s a common and widespread bug, it’s the first time I hear about it and I even haven’t experienced it so far. Or let’s wait to see how many show up with the same issue. Maybe if you prefer a more personalized assistance try to contact Support. In case you don’t know, you can find a link for that on the page I linked before. Good luck.
I have the same issue with class icons – all black since the last patch.
Perhaps it is OS related – I run Win XP SP3. There was a bug earlier where on XP only the client would flicker in full screen and one could play only in windowed mode. Eventually it was fixed.
Yeah all started with the last patch
Having the same problem
Add me to the list, however I’m running Windows 8.1
the problem seems to be gone after the revenant weekend started
Happy to hear yours resolved itself, not so for me.
It’s really annoying especially since I can’t tell which teammate needs help in spvp. I see party member’s health bar dropping, but can’t see their class icon, so I don’t know where I need to be on the minimap to assist.
actually i noticed that they work in ranked matches but not in practice matches
Works in Stronghold (unranked) for me. Hotjoin doesn’t work still.
As of today icons have been restored. Huzzah anet!
