I’ve quite recently bought a new videocard, an 7970, for my computer. When I am playing GW2 something wierd happens sometimes, please have a look at the pictures I attached. The screen flashes very fast in those colors whenever I move the camera. At some places there are walls of color as you can see. What could be causing this? Do/did you have/had the same problem?

Some notes:

  • I have the 13.2 drivers installed (cleaned old drivers before I installed the new ones).
  • It only happens outside.
  • I have seen it happen in these zones: Holebrak, Lionsarch, Dissea pleau, Kessex hills.
  • It disapears if I Alt+Tab in and out.
  • It happens rarely.
  • It only happens in GW2. I used to have problems in other games but the new ATI drivers solved those.

On pictures 1 and 2 the “fractures” are attacking the screen. On the third picture we see a wall of “fractures” and a line going through the picture.

I have heard of quite a few issues with GW2 and those 13.2 beta drivers.

I personally would stay away from them. Just rollback to 13.1

i7-3770K (Delidded) @ 4.6GHz | nVidia GTX TITAN X@ 1468/7800
ASUS Sabertooth Z77 | 16GB Corsair Dominator Platinum 1866MHz @ 2400MHz
Samsung 840 PRO 512GB SSD | Windows 10 x64

Roll back the drivers and wait for the official release, beta drivers are like that a russian roulette. u can also try tweak the graphics settings using radeon pro. I have those drivers on the same card and i don’t have any issue, may be cuz i have my graphics tweaked by raden pro don’t know. The only problem i have with those drivers is when i try to record the gameplay the display driver crashes, only happen on GW2, so again a russian roulette.
