So I just upgraded my GFX card from a Nvidia to AMD. I used to have that white texture problem with nvidia, which is gone now. But I have a new (minor I guess) problem. At the very end of loading screens the game will automaticly go into windows (like alt-tab’ing) and the screen will flash between windows and GW2 for a couple of seconds, before I get back in the game when the loading is done. This flashing also happens occasionally when I’m playing, but it’s super fast, so fast that all i see is a flash, or flicker. It’s very annoying and was wondering if anyone else have the same problem?

sapphire 7970 vapor-x 3gb, 13.1 catalyst drivers.

Hhmm, I thought it was a normal thing to happen. Although for me it only happens on loading screens.
I’m gonna follow this to see if it indeed can be fixed.

For some times, the game did this to me too. After loading quick flash, but it seems to be gone now. Using same card and same catalyst version.

Well I didnt have the problem with my old Nvidia card, may be AMD related. I’m mostly worried that something is wrong with my card, but it doesn’t happen in other games. The “going to windows” after loading i can deal with, but the super fast flashes when im playing is very irritating and making me not want to play anymore.

Also last night i noticed some crazy shadows bugging out in eternal battleground jumping puzzle.

get 13.2 drivers. Older versions had flicerking problems for some users. Mine 7850 stoped doing that after 13.2 (still flickers on loading screen but that was always the case) but i still have the kitten lines in dungeons problem . . .
