Guild Wars 2

Loading screens are a kitten on the Mac client. They take about 5 minutes to clear and the NPCs and some world elements take ages to render in. Attached is a screenshot of my Mac’s system profile. It’s not an old or slow machine by any means, so the slow load times is kind of an annoyance. Loading screens clear fairly quickly on the Windows client I run on Boot Camp.

Is this a problem (see coloring in screenshot, left side of chest) with the beta Mac client or a graphics setting?

Compared to 32-bit client (2nd image).

Ah, I managed to determine that setting Shaders to High or Low causes this issue, but Medium is without issue.

I’ve been having this issue as well. Thanks for the workaround! Confirmed that this does fix the rendering issue on armors.
