Visual bugs since update the other day+ - Guild Wars Forums

majoho · Sep 17, 2006, 07:28 PM // 19:28

I can't see that I should have turned anything off but who knows.

Here are the problems that I see

1. I don't get the level "up/skill point gained" sound/animation anymore.

2. Don't get the "quest completed" sound/animation anymore. (I can hear the sound for others though!!!)

3. The "DP/Morale" thing in the Effects Monitor acts as if it's added (plays the animation) each time a condition/enhancement is added and when xp is gained.

All my graphics settings are on max as they always have been.

Former Ruling · Sep 17, 2006, 07:42 PM // 19:42

Hmm...My settings arent even max and stuff has been fine for me, I was even running the "Securing Echovald Forest" quest yesterday, so I had a few oportunities to see the skill point gained sign.

Cant say about the DP sound though.

Acillios · Sep 17, 2006, 07:45 PM // 19:45

The level/up skill point gained animation still plays with me.

But what I've noticed is that the sound when you call a target is gone, anyone else noticed this?

I didn't actually think that was important either it was just in case someone would think it was because of the gfx settings.

LiamR · Sep 17, 2006, 07:47 PM // 19:47

The green '!' dosent appear above quest 'enders' anymore. For me.

majoho · Sep 17, 2006, 07:48 PM // 19:48

That problem I don't have...

weird stuff

Eldin · Sep 17, 2006, 07:52 PM // 19:52

Things have been fine for me. However, a couple of times when using Sprint, the red trail of energy didn't appear.

Crotalus · Sep 17, 2006, 07:58 PM // 19:58

Enchancements are not showing up on the char. Depending on the enchant there is usually a ring around the char that has an enchant.

Also my client crashed a few time today. I just got done updating my video drivers so i am going to see if that worked.

*edit* updating my driver fixed the enchant problem.

I havnt noticed any of those visual bugs but i have noticed this one:

Long rectangle shadows appear but theres nothing of that shape to make it. I also noticed the minos shadow shape change during the part of the attack animation where they lean forward and hit you. I havnt noticed this on any other creatures yet. Its possible this bug has been there for ages though and i just never knew.. I only recently got a computer capable of running the game at max settings with a good FPS(40-60).

Yeh, I do have this also (no green '!' for quest starters either) and the ones the OP mentioned. Though it's only occasionally when they show up for me.

Linksys · Sep 17, 2006, 09:47 PM // 21:47

I notice my ignore list isn't working properly because someone on it is messaging me now. Anyone else get this? I posted this in the Technician's Corner forum.

Also, often when I use a running skill or spirit with my ranger, I don't see the magical effects around my character. Sometimes, but often they aren't displayed.

I noticed that running skill bug once. The effect didnt appear.. Restarting the game seemed to fix it though and i havnt seen it since.

Elena · Sep 17, 2006, 10:02 PM // 22:02

ive noticed sometimes the effects of skills used dont show and dont make sound

Aesop_Meiji · Sep 17, 2006, 10:37 PM // 22:37

I've noticed this:

..Hope the attatchment is there

Wow! What is this, Everquest now? Triple digit levels? Not sure how high it goes in that other game actually, but it's pretty high. That gave me a laugh I needed, thanks.

Relambrien · Sep 18, 2006, 12:41 AM // 00:41

Here are some bugs I've been experiencing:

When moving, skill animations often don't show. Sometimes happens when standing still as well.

Various sound effects are non-existent. Most notably some skill "charging" sounds, while the skill is casting, as well as some enemy pop-up sounds. I died because of a Dying Nightmare in UW (as a monk while duo-ing) because I didn't hear it pop up.

Various attack sound effects, as well as the walking sound sometimes, are no longer there.

Oh, and I've also been experiencing the DP/Morale thing, but here's what happens for me. Whenever I gain experience (haven't tested if I gain 0 exp from an enemy), the Morale effect performs the "apply" animation, where it grows and shrinks quickly. This is probably related to the DP effect being reapplied when it is lessened due to experience gain.

I haven't noticed anyone else mentioning it so I assume it's not a general problem, does anyone have an idea how to fix it?

All my graphics settings are on max as they always have been.

yes it must be a bug..cuz i got the same problem and my graphics are set to max everywere 4x AA and all the other things.
edit: oh and wen i cast a spell for the first time in a mission/explorable it doesnt show the animation but it does show the second time i cast it.

**cosyfiep** · Sep 18, 2006, 01:27 AM // 01:27

yep, got all that....no sounds, no exclamation points, no auras, but I do get the dp/morale thingy every time something dies....even when I have a +2...and we kill a non-boss, it increases like its doing something, and its not. I dont get the skill point thing---only the green words : 'you gained a skill point' like it no longer matters......
the 255 has been going on for sometime now....over a month. so that was not this update.
makes it harder to play when you dont hear whats going on.

The Hand Of Death · Sep 18, 2006, 01:42 AM // 01:42

-No level raise sound or visual

-No distortion, dodge, putrid explosion sound or visual

-No empathy sound

Just a couple of thing I remember

The hero by HA is also lvl 255 when he appears, but when he comes closer he will be a lower lvl again.
