Please excuse the blacked out parts, that’s just my start menu and task bar I removed; I did this because the in-game screenshot tool takes a screenshot of the world as it’s supposed to be, not as that world actually is on my game. I could have taken a video of this instead, and if a dev asks me to, I can provide them with one, but I believe an image works just as well.
The bug is that at certain locations and at certain angles, the entire world becomes partially transparent to me, and it can be extremely beautiful and yet distracting in some of those places(Ert and Burt skill challenge in queensdale looked amazing with everything shining golden, for example).
This image is from blue hill in the eternal battlegrounds and I believe it shows what I’m talking about quite nicely:
As a comparison, this is from the in-game screenshot button:
This only started happening after I updated my nvidia drivers from the 306.23 BETA drivers to the 306.23 WHQL drivers. As I stated before, if this isn’t enough, a dev can request a video or I can post my computer’s specs.
I’m having the exact same problem you’re describing. It only started after downloading the latest Nvidia driver.
Hopefully someone knows what’s going on?
Yes I know the secret. Create a custom profile in your nvida panel settings under Manage 3D settings (select the gw2.exe). Turn “Ambient Occulsion” and “Antialiasing – Transparency” to OFF. Enjoy.
