Default fOOTPRINT PROBLEMS



Are there ways to fix those footprints? I've tried everything in the Graphics options, but the problem is still ongoing.

Thanks.


EDIT: Sorry for the caps lock in the thread title.

Try running -image. Perhaps the texture of footprint is broken, so if that won't help, do -repair.

If nothing works, try updating drivers.

Hmm. Though I posted here.

Try doing -image or better -repair first. If it won't work, reinstall/redownload GW.

The same thing happens to the footprints when I play Guild Wars on my laptop - I believe it's due to a lack of a decent graphics card. It has one of those Intel graphics media accelerator thingies.

Like Abedeus said, the footprint texture is probably broken. GW has the ability to fix these things itself over time, but that could take a while (if ever). So you can try using the command line switches, "-repair" or "-image", to force a fix. Search on here for more details on using command line switches.

Posts from both threads merged here. Sorry if it looks a bit confusing, but didn't want you helpful people to lose a proper post.

Glad you got your answer. Corrupted .dat file.
