Looks like a video card problem to me, I have a friend who has had the same problem. Tell your friend to update his video card drivers, that should fix the problem.

Ask him if he's using beta drivers. The answer is probably yes.

It's a corrupt GW.dat file. The texture for the shield is corrupt, so it shows as a block of white. Reloading GW is the only thing that's going to fix it.

Lionguard Riddick is saying: "wtf!"
