Guild Wars 2

I have just bought a new pc and downloaded GW2. I soon noticed that objects appeared purple as well as some textures. I also noticed that attack animations such as explosions were purple and pixelated as well as fire. I then realised that many objects and bridges weren’t appearing and would just be invisible.
My OS is windows 7 pro and I’ve got an NVidia gtx 660 which as I’ve seen from other threads is having problems and quite frankly I don’t know what to do. I’ve just bought the expansion before realising that the graphics and textures weren’t how they are supposed to be. I’m not getting a new PC anytime soon and I’m not changing my graphics card as it works perfectly with every other game and simulation I run. Anet doesn’t seem to care at all to fix the problem which so many are having and I feel cheated and that I’ve wasted my money as the game is unplayable in its current state.
I’ve attached a couple of screenshots to show what it looks like if you haven’t seen examples already.

Have you tried updating or rolling back to a previous display driver? That often fixes the issue(s).

Have you tried contacting the Tech CS Team for assistance? You can via the ‘Support’ link above/below and ‘Submit a Request’ for said assistance.

Good luck.

Looks a bit similar to the problem Guild wars has with Windows 10 and mobile Nvidia gpus.

Try:
a) running in Windows 7 compatibility mode …OR
b) Running the game without Vsync enabled, and
c) use borderless windowed mode to avoid screentearing.

You may want to try earlier drivers if you have updated to the latest ones. Nvidia are known for gimping old gpus in various ways with later driver releases for obvious reasons.

Do a repair on your client..because it’s probably corrupted.Before you try all the driver yadayada yada stuff…

Repair Ze client.
