Guild Wars 2

Recently the UI is not displaying when first loading into the game.

Takes a few seconds and loads in in bits and pieces.

I have noticed this, as well. Same with the mini-map and world map. Also, your character in the Hero panel.

Yes this has also been happening to me as well since the latest update, at first I could deal with it but now it’s just frustrating having to wait for the UI to finally load. There is also a thread about this problem over in the Tech Support forum but as of right now nothings been said by ANet about this.

This is falling in the same issue where the game client would start to lose sounds after waypointing or changing zones a lot.

These issues are happening since Tower of Nightmares went live last week.

The minimap portions is what I’m having trouble with, it just loads a useless low quality texture and flashes/pulses for a bit until the actual map loads in. Maybe unrelated, but the buildings in LA are loading a bit later as well, I’ve found myself inside invisible banks and Trade Posts a few times recently. I’ve also found myself fighting invisible enemies in the open world, like the good old days of pve culling.

Yes, it does act like culling has reared it head, once again. Very slow to load buildings, terrain, mobs….
