Curse

My problem is, that all of a sudden (I think after one loading screen) the snow below me started to look like white tiles with a hint of a pink on them. I thought that was very weird, it kind of looked like when texmod is on, it sometimes makes your colors kind of strange, well you know what I mean if you've tried it.

Anyway, this also affected to my clothes, they started to look like mush too. I could describe it like this. It looks worse than everything in low detail. I took this photo from Fire rings, and I hope this shows you the problem.

I want to say this again: It started all of a sudden! Now every characters clothes are very low-detailed and the ground looks very bad, what's also strange, is that the rest of things (skills etc.) look just fine. I don't know what's the problem... Please help me?

And pardon my bad english.

i think that it might be that your Gw.dat file is corrupted, don't quote me on it though

im guessin display driver problem or gw.dat problem
try updating/reinstalling either or both

Its most likely your .dat file.

Uninstall and Reinstall GW,should fix.

Okay, re-installing didn't work. I will try to install the ATI Catalyst again.

uncheck the wait for vertical sync box
it may not fix your issues but it can make things gummy if it is on

Looks like texture corruption or a texture filtering problem.

1) You've checked your in-game graphics settings?
2) You've checked your windows display settings?
3) You've made sure you're using the newest driver for your graphics card?
4) Don't just uninstall GW, go in the GW directory and check that there are NO files left there (except in the Screens and Templates directorys, you can leave those).
5) Have you installed any software recently? If you have, you can consider trying to do a rollback to a date where the game worked OK, and see if the problem disappears.
6) If you've done all the above and the problem persists, it's time to start thinking about hardware problems. Overheating? Dying gfx memory? Power issues?
