everytime i get drunk, it doesnt show the effects like bluriness etc. Can someone tell me the problem? thanks

Mesmer in Need · Oct 20, 2006, 01:33 AM // 01:33

you have to drink atleast 5 or something drinks to get the bluriness. the blurriness might have changed maybey

The Poet · Oct 20, 2006, 01:36 AM // 01:36

yes i drink 5 when i start. Is there anything in options that would make it work?

I know that when I use my laptop (very low spec) to play GW, I also see no effects from drinking. I think it's because the graphics are set to lowest / the computer's graphics capabilities are, well, rubbish.
On my PC, with graphics all set to max, I see the full effects no problem.
I'd kind of assumed it was a graphics thing, at least. I may be wrong, but if you're on a decent spec computer, have you tried playing about with all the graphics options?

The Poet · Oct 20, 2006, 10:04 PM // 22:04

yeah i set all the graphic options to the highest, but my computer is getting low on RAM. it might be the problem

Make Sure the "post-Process Effects" checkbox is ticked, drunk effects and simmilar graphics effects (such as red mist in FoW) dont show up otherwise.

Hmm.. Well i have that post thing unticked but i still get the screen blur when i get drunk

Sir Mad · Oct 21, 2006, 12:18 PM // 12:18

I have this problem as of recently. I believed ANET had changed that, but apparently it comes from my computer. I haven't changed the graphical options (highest quality for everything but the shadows). This is kinda strange.

TiggerDeathDagger · Oct 21, 2006, 12:36 PM // 12:36

hmm well mine doesnt get blurry but the screen turns grey

Thank you, ANet, for letting us solve our drinking problems by purchasing more RAM!

The Poet · Oct 21, 2006, 05:02 PM // 17:02

this is a problem. i cant check the post-process effects it's grayed out. it probably is my computer anyways.

Err actually it's the contrary for me. I got my drunkard title a few weeks after the release of Factions. I was playing with the minimum configuration then (for the RAM). I bought more RAM later but I didn't drink again untill a few weeks ago. The blurring effect was gone.

EDIT - I have the post-process option greyed too, but I guess it was already grayed before, and I still had the FX working.

The blurry ness in real life due to those 40s you drank counteract the blurryness in game... kida like a double negative.
