Q:

Hello everyone. Here is a fun one.

I recently upgraded my rig with a new case and vid card. Now when I am playing, fun things happen:

It will not render anyones head…the helmet will show, but I cannot see the head. It is instead a dark black, head-shaped object.

I am unable to see anyone in their town clothing. I still see the armor. When they move, the legs do not. When said person goes back to original armor, everything is fine.

When a player rezes another player, they instead do the mining animation. Though I must admit, it IS kind of funny to watch a group beat each other back to life. When npcs are rezed, this doesn’t happen.

I’m not sure what could have happened. I moved from an HD 6600 series to a HD 6970, my drivers are all up to date. Only other things that are different is I have a new case, and now have a second monitor. GW2 on the left screen windowed, and wiki/forum things on the right. This happens even while the second monitor is disconnected.

I have DX11, which I am pretty sure is updated as well.

There could be even more issues that I haven’t noticed. I just recently obtained high speed internet (just moved from a very rural area), so I am constantly seeing things that I wasn’t able to see before. Mesmers would kill my connection >.>

If anyone could offer any assistance, it would be greatly appreciated. I thank you all for your time.

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
