Guild Wars 2

onevstheworld.2419:

Do you in fullscreen and have the same resolution for your game and desktop? I’ve seen the flashing in other games when my game resolution is not the same as my windows desktop.

Hello and thanks for the reply.

Yes I do have them set to the same resolution (1920 × 1080). I just tried setting the refresh in the game to match my monitor’s 60 hz… maybe that will help.

It is fullscreen as well.

I’ll keep trying things!

Ever since the latest update (at least that seems to be when I noticed it) whenever I go into a new area, or even when I just start up the game and it’s loading, it will flash to my desktop multiple times before loading the screen.

For example when I go through a portal from one area to another, or load into PVP, suddenly it shows my desktop background picture and then it loads the next area.

It never used to do this… I’ve been playing a couple years and this is definitely new behavior. I tried completely uninstalling and reinstalling the game fresh to see if it made a difference, nothing..

I am running an AMD 290 radeon video card with the latest drivers that just came out days ago.

Thanks for any help!
