Dragonstorm 1st phase Ryland and Braham not rendering

[melon.2538]

In the first phase where we fight them separately they don't render, it's not possible for me to target them, assist target also doesn't work, my aoes don't seem to be hitting them. DX11.

Edit: either it got fixed really fast or they don't render when joining instance mid 1st phase battle, because they did appear when I entered in the beginning.

It's more than that just Dragonstorm. There's been more occurrences of inconsistent rendering since EoD launch even with DX9. Some AoEs (e.g. vomit under giants in Harvest Temple and field underneath Ankaa in Junkyard) and telegraph circles (e.g. slam/wave attack during Dragon's End meta) won't render the first time they hit. I have a feeling it's probably to do with asset loading performance. Is your gw2.dat file on an SSD? I'm still running into the same issues with an SSD but I feel the frequency is less compared to my mechanical drive friends.

That's worrying. I don't have SSD and my computer is a bit old. Hope they will be able to fix such issues.

I had a similar issue today - Braham was invisible and his HP bar in event window was 100% all the time. We were hitting air for some time until the event progressed (he was still 100% hp on event panel) and after the cutscene the models rendered normally for both Braham and Ryland. DX11. I use fairly new SSD for gw2.

I had both of them invisible for me a couple of days ago, during the first phase where you fight them sequentially. I had entered late, just before the IP locked. I mentioned this in map chat, and someone said that coming in late can cause it to bug. Not only did I not see Ryland or Braham, I did not see their hit bars or anything. As I was melee, I stood where most people were standing and swung wildly. Everything rendered normally for me after that first phase of sequential fighting.
