Guild Wars 2

See atttached photo.

I’ve reloaded and repaired the game. The issue persists. They were high res as appropriate until I turned them down one day; I have never been able to get them to appear as expected since. I haven’t changed or updated any videocard settings- I believe this to be game-related.

Update: I have deleted the local.dat without success. My settings DO save when I relog, the one exception being shaders, which defaults to blank for some reason. Perhaps this is a videocard setting not playing nice.

Thanks!

All the ingame setting are stored in the local.dat file, it may have been corrupted try deleting it. This should set everything back to default when you restart the game it will creat a new one then you will have to adjust all your ingame setting to how you had them before.

Which Dat file are you referencing? The large dat that is the primary game data? Is there a separate one for the settings (please say there is?)

Found the local datfile after a nice PM from someone in game- still has not solved the issue. The settings change- it defaults to ugly. Changing the settings does not reset the model quality. Odd.

Did you change any graphic settings at your driver level?
if you drop the MipMap down to Performance, that would do this for your Visual as well.
