Myself and My friends keep running into this bug on a regular basis, but haven’t been able to pinpoint a trigger. During play all visual effects and particle effects such as water, auras, ground targeting, attack effects, ect ect disappear and cannot be restored by changing settings or restarting the client.

Has anybody else run into this bug and have you come across any solutions?

While it doesn’t render the game unplayable, it does somewhat ruin the experience when the NPC your suppose to attack is invisible, or you can’t tell where the water begins and land ends.

I just now got this issue about 30 minutes ago, and I feel it makes the game almost unplayable. I can’t tell where the water is because it’s invisible until I actually go in it. Half the things I need to look out for like ground AoE circles and catapult debris flying through the air, all of it is missing. It makes me pretty useless in PvE and PvP aspects.

Turns out my issue was Teamspeak3 Overlay… Once I turned that off and restarted GW2, all those effects came back.

Do you use TS3 Overlay?
