GoodBasket.7512 Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 (edited) This small green overlay shows up in character creation and then in the upper left corner during cutscenes, how do I get rid of it? Could not find anything in the settings. Not using external overlay. Thanks! screenshot edit: sorry switched text and url Edited April 30, 2022 by GoodBasket.7512 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shikigami.4013 Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 (edited) The picture is fine, he just switched the link and the text. Clicking the link tries to send you to "screenshot" which was supposed to show where it now says https://ctrlv.link/Ncjh However, I cannot see any overlay in that picture, because whatever the screenshot was taken with seems to have ignored it 🙂 Ok I just now saw the overlay which is TINY and at a weird location that I simply didnt see before. I am pretty sure this does NOT come from guildwars2 but from something else installed on your PC. Possibly some NVidia "feature" that you turned on by accident sometime.

Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Wow. I can't see it. Oh, blew the picture up, saw it. It's the Dev stats that are showing up on some players accounts. You will likely have to wait for a 'bug fix'. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodBasket.7512 Posted April 30, 2022 Author Share Posted April 30, 2022 It definitely comes from GW2, it only shows in character creation screen and cutscenes, I tried running the game in virtual machine and it's still there. So I just have to wait? It's so annoying, I always notice it 😄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashantara.8731 Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 I can't see the image (and no, I am not going to deactivate all my security settings and add-ons so the page would load properly for me). Is there a diect link to the JPG? I'd love to see what you are talking about. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanBB.4268 Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 The link works again. Look closely at the Charr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 (edited) The link(s) aren't the same as before. I use many adblockers/etc. at once, and now I can no longer see the image. If anyone wants to see it, you can see it on other posts regarding the same issue. Or watch some Guild Chats and see the Dev 'overlay'. It's the same one.

mercury ranique.2170 Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 This looks a lot like a info box started from a command line argument.

Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 (edited) For the first part of your post, it didn't used to say that when viewing it. For the second part, I will try again: https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/topic/113494-help-to-remove-game-stats-in-cutscenes (That's the kind of message one gets when a post/thread is removed - not sure why it is showing up; the thread is on the second page.)

Dondarrion.2748 Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 OP - are you running the GW2 client with the -ShowFPS option? How do you start the game, just the vanilla short cut that gets installed with the game or did you modify how it runs the gw2 executable? It looks like the overlay from that command line option, no?

Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 (edited) Could have been Guild Wars. I always used it there. -prefreset (there's no -pref) resets your preferences; good for stuck characters) -maploadinfo show some information akin (sort of) to what the OP is experiencing Edited May 10, 2022 by Inculpatus cedo.9234 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blade.3861 Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 There are data stats showing up during cutscenes and character creation. Don't have any mods running, nothing in command lines, and it's the only game that has this issue. As far as I'm aware of it's new though I just made a new character today since I don't how long. I looked on the internet and found only two other people have the same issue and their post was from the beginning of March. How do I turn it off? https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/p450/blade12775/20220516_140401_1_.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Healix.5819 Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 (edited) It's not something you can toggle yourself, it's normally only visible on the dev client. They likely forgot to disable it under certain conditions; it seems to only appear on higher resolutions. I doubt this will work, but considering it's something the devs can toggle, maybe it's a hidden setting. Warning - this will reset all game settings - launch using: -prefreset Edited May 17, 2022 by Healix.5819 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
