Encountering this issue over few weeks. Some textures go ‘shiny’, or sometimes go back and forth between ‘shiny’ and normal version. Most times I see this on norn lodges or Ogden’s hut near the Priory. A minor issue, yet very irritating. Here’s the recent screenshot with example. What might cause it? Anyone encountered it?

Looks like you are missing textures or some got corrupted try the -repair command in the GuildWars2 shortcut target field.

Opinions are like ______ everyone has one I could
put the correct term in but not everyone has kittens

Problem is, as said above, textures are there. They just not showing properly all the time – they go ‘shiny’ most of the time. Though I’ll try repair.

Update:
Repairing the client didn’t help the situation, it seems. All drivers are up to date. WTF.

Bump.
Found many other places in open world that go ‘shiny’ when approached. Some structures, like an outpost in Brisban with lvl 80 guard above it, icicle textures and some other.

It’s your client though,ive had the same but only all Oil’s suddenly appeared as pink for me in wvw.

I deleted Local.Dat, located in C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Guild Wars 2 ( Must have hidden folders set to shown ).

Deleted the GW2cache in C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Temp.

Then did a repair,and it fixed it.
