Your problem might have something to do with this.

Tom Swift · Jun 26, 2012, 03:00 AM // 03:00

Agree with MisterB

here are some common suggestions for correcting image persistence:

Turn off the monitor for extended periods of time. It can be as little as several hours or it could be as long as several days.

Use a screen saver with a rotating image and run it for extended periods of time. The rotating color palette should help remove the persistent image but it could take a long time.

Run the screen with a single solid color or bright white for an extended period of time. This will cause all of the crystals to be reset at a single color setting and should erase any previous image persistence.

It's snow, obviously. Show us a picture that isn't of your desktop and still has the problem.

ok let me rephrase - guildwars as far as i know have NO STATIC images and thats because
1. All npc in outpost or in gh always do actions after a while , even seen a few look around then sort of kick the dirt in a bored way.
2. You get chat messages all the time unless no1 is one if your guild/alliance
3. Consider that any movement in sight of npc w/e means screens refreshed ( only word i can think of ) and a refreshed screen thats done constantly cant burn.

A burn is created by having a static image that does not move - and im meaning the whole screen.If you stood in gh for 20 hrs a burnout would be impossible due to *1 and *2.
How do you think players who go on 9 rings afk for days when events are on and i doubt most of them are watching the screen all that time but most would keep an eye on gw incase of disconnect.
Im going to take a big shot in the dark here and i can see you also use texmod - we all know ( those who use textmod quite a bit ) that it can cause grafics annomolies and im assuming you only have this problem after running gw and texmod.
Try the following , clean boot and entry into safemode - is it there ?
Then clean boot and go into windows - is it there ?
Then remove background image and cleanboot and windows - is the problem still showing there.

Regarding the new pics - i still cant see what the problem is.

The interface of Guild Wars does in fact have static images. In this case, there is a faint halo visible on the new desktop images that are posted from the camera. The image artifact appears to be the same shape and size as the compass ring, although the color has shifted. Images can persist in LCD and plasma displays. Plasmas and CRTs can suffer from burn in.

Maybe next time, if you don't understand, you could ask before getting insulted.

Hello I have an Asus laptop with windows 7 and with a glossy LCD screen. It has had some weird screen issues as well. I don't normally play on my laptop because it gets pretty hot after just an hour of play and it's just better on my desktop. When I do log in for a while it sometimes shows the skill bar burnt into my task bar

.

All I usually have to do is unlock the tool bar then lock it back and it goes away. I don't know if this is really " burn in " or just some weird crap my laptop does. Also every time I load Guild Wars to log in my windows media center thing pops up. ugh so annoying!

I hope you get your problem fixed cause it can be very annoying and distracting to say the least. Best of Luck!

thanks Mister B and Tom Swift i will try those things that you mentioned

@Quaker, do you think i was asking or wanting to get insulted? the whole point of this thread was to understand my issue and understand and also ask about the problem that i had, now i would appreciate if you didnt reply in this thread anymore unless you have something important to contribute to my issue, thankyou

@Kalian, it is a snowy terrain and thats the background image itself and has nothing to do with the burn/image persistance, as i said to spiritz please look closer.

Alio0p, thankyou i hope your problem gets fixed too

@Spiritz, mister B has explained to you about what you wrote, and as for still not seeing it i would like you to strain your eyes a bit because i did put alot of effort with those red arrows to point it out and if that still doesnt help you then i urge you to LOOK more carefully.. it is there

xXyunaXx · Jun 26, 2012, 11:24 PM // 23:24

@ Mister B and Tom Swift ,for now i am following the advice of this website to help me eliminate my image persistance,

Oh wow thank you so much! I had tried removing -mce thing and it worked for a while but then it started back up. So I am now using the original icon in the GWs folder and it's working great so far. Thanks again!

xXyunaXx I hope you get yours fixed as well

i used the methods in that link i wrote in my previous post and it worked good so far.

Here's an idea; set your screensaver to startup after a minute of inactivity. Problem solved/averted.

You can rest assured that I won't be contributing anything helpful to you, even if I had something useful.

MisterB · Jun 27, 2012, 09:47 PM // 21:47

One thing you may try to prevent the problem in the first place is replacing the compass ring texture. I'm puzzled why a solid black ring would cause this, but perhaps another color texture could prevent or at least prolong the time before the image becomes persistent. The compass ring I use has a semi-transparent layer; transparency would cause constant change of the image. Replacing a single texture in a mod is pretty simple with a .tpf unpacker and a text editor. (How to)

That will not prevent the problem if just playing for a few hours causes image persistence. Besides, you can also just turn off the monitor if you are afk. A screen saver may remove the image persistence after the fact if it runs long enough in the affected area.

then i wonder why you even bothered to write here ^^ and it further proves my point that you have nothing useful to say, its up to you man i dont care either way what you choose to do. I've already found my solution.

Alright MisterB i'll try that, thanks for the tip

Rhododendron · Jun 28, 2012, 10:32 AM // 10:32

After using my LCD monitor for 2 years , i have a similar problem now. Of course it's not software related. That wiki link is interesting, thanks MisterB.

If that was true, you'd stop replying to me.

P.s. - I've been on here for the past 7 years, helping people with their computer related problems. Sometimes, even I wonder why I bother.

P.P.s - If you still haven't found an answer, I suggest you try posting in the Guru2 tech forums. This forum is relatively dead, plus there is, of course, more people familiar with GW2 over there.

xXyunaXx, if you want help you're going to have to be nicer than you are now. Being disrespectful to those who are helping you isn't the best way to get help. If someone is misbehaving then use the Report button and ignore them, don't add fuel to the fire.

As others have said, screen burn-in occurs most often on old CRT monitors. It's extremely rare (as in, next to never) occurring on LCD.

Screenshots don't capture burn-in. Looking at the camera phone pics you can barely see the compass outline. Others have said to use a different background as this may make it more obvious. You may need to contact the screen manufacturer's support team. Also check to see if there's any sort of method to reset your monitor to stock settings. You may also want to try turning the monitor off for a day or two to see if it fades.

Also, it's not because of the texture mod.
