Guild Wars 2

I am not sure if anyone else has this problem, but for some odd reason my game has “Glowing objects” that shouldn’t be glowing. It’s not any special effects or anything. It only seems to occur on crates and icicles. The problem is a lot worse if I switch on supersampling. Other than that other objects are fine besides the crates and icicles.
This shouldn’t be happening since I am running this game on a high-end computer.

Do you have post processing on high?

If so, this may be the cause, too much bloom & contrast from that option can make things glow.

Tried toggling it off and on and still occurs.
It the crates flash when I look at them in a certain way.
I have all settings on High and everything is fine except the crates.

Its either a driver bug, or a game bug.

either way, its already been reported in the game bugs section

Some users had this issue with 310.70 drivers, and downgrading to 306.97 fixed it. However, 310.90 just came out, give that a shot.

It’s a Nvidia driver issue.
It appears with 310.xx branch and the only way I have found to fix it fully atm is to revert back to 306.97.
(You can also try to put shaders slider on medium, but you loose wat too much and it’s not a proper 100% fix-it-all)
From the 310.90 thread it seems those don’t fix the problem either.

Time for all of us who experience that issue to massively report it to Nvidia

I have the newest driver.
Thought I was the only person that has this problem.
Guess I’ll have to wait for the next patch to hopefully fix it.
Other than that it’s fine.

I get this too with my Nvidia card when I turn post processing off. Happens in WvW with keep walls and supply camp buildings.

new drivers out 314.07

confirmed no more glowing – nvidia gtx 660m
