Guild Wars 2

I don’t know why, but ingame textures for characters/armors look really blurry, with zero details. It can’t be fixed with ANY modification in graphic settings, I have tried them ALL.
Any help on this one?

Did you map to another area?

No. nothing really seems to fix this.

It looks like the full texture assets aren’t even loading. I’d suggest deleting your local.dat file (X:User/My Documents/Guild Wars 2) and restart your machine then reconfigure your client settings again.

I fully agree with Ownus’ suggestion, please try and post back.

(Was about to post the same thing myself)

Solid advice Ownus. I was sure this would work, but sadly it didn’t. I deleted local.dat and thereafter tried commands -repair -image as shown at http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Command_line_arguments
I got an delicate eye for esthetic and graphical side in gaming, so kinda sad this is so hard to fix

This seems to be an odd, random issue because it doesn’t affect everyone. I’ve seen just a few people experiencing (and reporting) it.

Really not sure, it could be an odd bug due to a graphics conflict or something.

What video card are you running? Are your drivers up to date?

Just follow up thoughts, I don’t know if it will help at all.

graphics card would be ati radeon 5870 and drivers should be up to date. This bug pretty much appeared randomly few months ago and I’ve been stuck with it since.

BTW I already have re-installed the game once.

So this occurred at first a few months ago and its persisted since? Just for the heck of it, try doing a clean uninstall / re install of your Catalyst drivers (read up on how to do this properly if you are unfamiliar) Even try doing so with a different driver version (ie an older one possibly)

Its very strange if this issue has been there for that long.

Outside of that I’d suggest uploading some cfg data to anet support. See if they have anything to say about it.

Also if you have access to either an onboard gpu or another discrete gpu, I’d test that as an option.

The only other thing I’d think to try, failing that, is a clean install of windows. Yes its more involved and time consuming but often with strange things such as this its the only sure fire way to remove all external variables.

Clean install, no 3rd party software added. Just windows updated, most recent gpu drivers and GW2 installed. If it persists at that point its obviously an obscure game bug but i’m more prone to think its something going on with your system. I’d only resort to this after you’ve sent some info Anets way and obviously only comfortable in doing so.

Going to try all this with time excluding re-installing windows just yet though I probably have to do it anyways as the system tends to corrupt over time. Will post back /w the results
Another interesting thing to notice is that when I run -diag command, tracing network paths never finishes.
