Guild Wars 2

So there’s a certain graphics setting level that makes the renderer go nuts and apply a strange square box around some lighting effects, and I don’t know which of the graphics settings trigger it, but it’s been this way for years. And then I change the setting, forget about it, happen to change it back and then it’s back — I suspect it’s Shaders Medium, but not sure! Changing any of the settings without reloading the map didn’t result in the effect getting fixed.

Anyway, screenshot attached.

So it comes out especially with [Petrified] (actually the wiki page on that effect has a screenshot showing the effect bug), but I’ve seen a square glow around my character at some point without it too.

Any input from the devs about this? Couldn’t find a related bug topic with the Search.

FWIW, the more detail on how to reproduce it you can supply, the better. You are not likely to hear any direct response here — forums are read-mostly for anet — but they do follow them, and if they can follow your instructions and reproduce the issue it is much more likely to get fixed.

Wow. I’ve not seen that particular bug in a long time. We used to have it on a lot of things, but it was fixed long ago.

Hope it works out for you. Good luck.

Yeah, I wish I knew which setting level triggers it (if for nothing else than to avoid it). I don’t have infinite many boxes to test around though.
