Preview Window Issue - Gem Store and Hero Panel

[Thorfinnr Sleggja.1209]

I opened the Gem Store today and wanted to preview the new mounts.  The Preview Window is not centered in its "window". It acts this way for previewing capes and gliders as well. Its also happening on the Hero Panel. Is this a known issue for the DX11 setting in the graphics options? I have turned that on recently, but I did not notice this happening until today.

 

I wanted to attach screenshots, but I do not have that option in the editor.

My apologies, I hit the wrong header to post. I meant to post in the Bugs sub-forum. Please feel free to move this to the appropriate area.

 

Again, my apologies, I'll be more careful next time.

And it does appear to be a DX11 issue, as I unchecked the box. Logged out and reloaded the game and now its functioning normally.

It might be just you, or just some players, as I use DX11 and I don't experience that issue.

Actually I am experiencing the same problem.

 

When opening the "Hero" dialog (e.g. equipment) then I see the player model slightly diplaced. Sometimes it is not showing at all, because the character seems to be places in the upper left corner. Believe me or not... When I drag the window to the upper left the character model appears again. This is so weird that I am starting to like it 😄 But seriously, when previewing colors and so on, this is not cool at all.

 

The only thing that changed in the last days was a Windows update (KB5017308), but I really cannot say if this had an direct impact. The problem occured first yesterday and I was playing with the update before without problems.

Then what I changes was the "use DirectX9 (Deprecated)" setting. Yes... just to see whats happening. Then after that it occured (I think, because I have not recognized it directly after it)

 

I made a short video to show it:

 

What I will do next is to try out the repair mode of the client.

So the repair option

https://help.guildwars2.com/hc/en-us/articles/201863008-Repairing-the-Game-Client?input_string=character+model+is+displaced+in+windowed+mode

did not help in my case.

 

I will open a support ticket for that. This is really weird. Otherwise I am stuck with DirectX9, and furthermore in DirectX9 it is not that bad, but still the character model seems to be slightly displaced.

 

Also adding to the discussion:

Current Graphics drivers 516.94 (nvidia)

GW2 client 134.370

At least in my case the problem is not occuring when turning off "DPI scaling" (right under the DirectX9 option).

But in my case this is not a solution, because I am at a 4K display (3840x2160) and the UI becomes tiny in that case.

I have opened a support ticket, let's see if this problem is already known.

Hey, found this:

 

Seems to be a problem for a lot of people.

The thread includes a post from a Dev, as well.
