Guild Wars 2

I just purchased the game and downloaded the game with no problem. After creating a character and set out in to the world the graphics were low which i was expecting but every time i would move they’re a bunch of blue streaks that go across the screen and random objects will appear out of nowhere only to disappear upon further movement making the experince unbearable. i tried reinstalling to no avail.. i checked the program file and noticed it looked a little odd.. the gw2 folder only has 3 things in it which are gw2.dat file, gw2 application, and gw2 tmp. file all which have a little lock next to their icon. if anyone could help it would be much apperciated!!

updated video drivers?

lock next to the icon means the file has custom access permissions

my video drivers say they are up to date. i just find it strange theirs only 3 things in the folder.. when i asked a friend to check there folder they had a lot more in theirs..

Music, gw2.dat, gw2.exe , gw2.tmp, local.dat

Typically should only be 5 things in there. Gw2.dat (~15gb) contain the game files all compressed.

btw should list your system specs.

actually i looked into that

the lock means the file is not shared but exists within a shared folder.

looks like you are using HD3000 integrated GPU. Known issues with blue streaks and objects. Where did you get the driver updates from? Manufacturer? or directly from intel?

I’m not to sure how i got it but i just clicked update on the driver itself. I posted up a picture of how it looks. that rock is not supposed to be there.

Download the drivers here
