Guild Wars 2

I haven’t played since December but I logged in again today after installing all the updates and suddenly my graphics quality has changed. Most noticeable are my characters eyes and armor detail. It seems to have blurred and definitely does not look the way it used to. I played around with the graphics settings in game but it didn’t seem to make much difference.
Is it possible something on my computer changed? Any suggestions?

Deleting your local.dat file will reset things to default. Try that.

I tried but this did not solve the problem. Armor detail is still muddy and blurry. Im going to try reinstalling the video card drivers but failing that I dont know what to do. Is there a way to test video card functionality?

try resetting your video card’s settings to their defaults at it card’s control panel.

if you’d like to reinstall/update your driver, check out this thread:
