Default I see moving white boxes O.O

This is wierd, sometimes I see other players as white box. What it can mean?
It looks funny.

Some players ran around AB with huge white blocks for heads
Personally, I prefer a Pyramid to anything

I would suggest running a -image. Often the whitebox issue happens which some bit of graphics is missing or currupted for some reason.

I have often had that happen to me in the past. Usually when the Graphics card gets hot. Its solved by turning off ur PC for a while, letting it cool down and then loading up gw and letting the archives repair themselves (since they were corrupted by the hot graphics card)

I had the exact same thing happen to me ages back, right before my old 6600GT went tit's-up! It was down to a over-heating graphics card because the fan on the GPU had decided to break.

I get it sometimes as well. Usually I log out and go back in again and its ok, but sometimes GW comes up with a box stating its repairing data which takes a while. Then its ok. Hasnt happened for a little while.

Its a data issue. Like when youj try to trade somethin and all you get is a small construction guy. It happens when your computer doesnt have th full download of all the data. I thought you were seeing little spots not the whole character which is driver and heat related.
