Using Texmod?

I used it and got screens very similar to what's going on there. As well as the weird colors and graphics. The only solution I found was to uninstall Texmod.

If Texmod isn't your problem, then I'm sorry I wasted your time.

I never used any mods. But when it happend i was testing my internet connection with Pingplotter program. Maybe its the reason?

textures got corrupted. If you restart the client it should be fine.

EDIT: If it keeps doing that, you might want to revert to older drivers.

Moving to Tech section, this isn't a bug. I am just about positive it's on your side, so I'll let Rahja's monkeys have at you!

Did you forget to uninstall your old drivers by any chance?

Damn, I've seen a recent thread where someone had the exact same thing - the texture/skin of an enemie got stretched out across the screen, just as if it was being texmodded.

Sadly I'm old and forgetful, so I can't remember where it was and if we resolved it ><

It is one of two things.

You either have corrupted GW.dat file, and that is simple to fix (uninstall Guild Wars and download a whole new .dat file using the -image tag)

OR

Your graphics drivers a queuing the wrong texture paths. This can be fixed in 3 ways.

First, try new graphics drivers.

Second, reflash the vBIOS on your graphics card.

Third, new graphics card.

Most likely, it is a corrupted .dat file. If other games are doing this, however, than it is most likely a driver issue. If it is more severely, you will known fairly quickly considering the limited options.
