Q:
Odd graphical issues >.>
I’ve built quite a few AMD builds for friends and I’ve noticed that sometimes upgrading the video cards may require you to completely uninstall catalyst software and video card drivers, then re-install the latest ones. Have you tried this yet?
When you say drivers are up to date, how so? Did the drivers come from Windows Update, pre-installed, OEM’s site, or AMD?
Regardless, I don’t believe a driver alone would cause that strange bug; might just recommend a driver reinstall.
I have yet to do a driver reinstall. When I put it in, I had the new driver freshly downloaded so I could run it immediately. I d/l’d the driver from amds site.
I will try the reinstall and see what we get.

Drivers can cause issues ranging from artifacts all the way to melting the card itself.
Update:
I re-download the latest, non-beta driver from amd’s website, uninstalled, then re-installed and restarted.
I haven’t seen much, but I do know that player heads are still not rendering. This would lead me to assume that the rest remain broken.
Hmm, have you tried a repair on GW2’s data file? http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Command_line_arguments#-repair
When npcs are rezed, this doesn’t happen.
