I am getting some really obnoxious graphical bugs ever since upgrading to Yosemite. Basically, everything except menus and my toolbars are affected. It gives me this craziness. Or this Sometimes it isn’t that bad but sometimes it gets so bad I can’t see anything at all and I’m just tab-attacking hoping I don’t get surrounded or run off a cliff (which has happened). Here is a screen of my graphic settings. Altering them does not seem to make matters any better.

If you guys could look into a fix, I’d be eternally grateful. Thanks!

I think this problem is due to heavy graphics load, no relationship to how long you play. It may happen within 3 mins in wvw, etom or dynamic events.

Therefore the only thing I’ve been doing after Yosemite upgrade is map exploration by new characters, gathering and crafting , although spvp is still playable, but it isn’t MCOT.

BTW, I believe that I was able to fix the problem (or at least find a work-around). I only get the issue when playing the game ‘windowed’. If I take it fullscreen, the problems disappear. Hope this helps someone else with the same problem.

So, to bring this back up, I’m still having the issue. I am able to narrow down why this happens… or at least when.

It seems as though the issue only happens when my graphics card switches settings. This typically happens when I hook up an external monitor. It has trouble when using one and it switches to this. Alternatively, it doesn’t have issues when running with just the laptop monitor. Graphics settings here.

Would still really like this bug fixed as I’m almost always using an external monitor. Thanks!
