well if its not that bad then quit complaining J/K

its good to know how much ram your vid card has but a brand might be more helpful unless it is integrated in wich case that might be the issue in itself

Try pressing Print Screen, that used to reset any buggy graphics(like you described ) for me. You do get a screenshot in your screenshot folder though, so be aware of the amount of HD space it takes.

OK Killerj21, first stop multi-posting back to back.

Second, provide more details.

Third, you may have the game's texture settings set low and/or video card may not have the muscle to handle smoother textures. Guild Wars is highly scalable, chances are it's already running at the best settings for your system.

Give us more information about your system and we can try to figure it out.

OK, now stop multi-posting and USE the edit button, it's free and not just there for looks.


OK we have a start but we don't know the exact model of the nVidia card or if it is integrated, etc.

Go start click run type "dxdiag" press "OK" wait around for a bit...

Something called "DirectX Diagnostic Tool" should come up, click the "display" from the top options. Now there should be something that tells you the name of your card.

Now tell us

Ah yeah, I remember this bug but that was a year ago, I persume it has been fixed by now. I'm not sure what nvidia card you have, but back then if you have a series 6 g-force card and using the certain version of forceware driver (can't remember which, maybe it was 80.1 upward) you will get those blocks on the ground and terrain etc. So try a new fresh driver from nvidia, it may fix your problem. Then again not enough information has been given, window xp, vista etc?

Edit: double post is not cool, man. 6100 is that an on board graphic card?
