Ariurotl.3718 Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Rotating the camera in some areas (notably for me, in some parts of the Norn home instance) causes the place to go darker/shadier intermittently, depending on camera position. It's as if this "camera" is blocking the light. A very weird bug, never happened until the latest patch. 14 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly UK.1209 Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 (edited) Had this happen with a character in the Hooligan's Route area of Lion's Arch about 30 minutes ago, shortly after that I switched to another toon in Hoelbrak and went into the Home instance to farm all my gathering materials for the day and had a similar lighting issue occur. I actually wondered if it was due to having changed my Graphics Options Render Sampling to Supersample earlier so I logged out of the game, changed the Render Sampling back to Native and then restarted the game. Logged in-game with the same toon in Hoelbrak and went back into the Home instance and the lighting was fine, no weirdness at all. Now I'm going to switch back to my toon in Lion's Arch and check Hooligan's Route to see if the lighting there is still weird or not. EDIT: Just checked Hooligan's Route and the lighting there is normal now, no weirdness with the lights switching off and on as I turn the camera. *shrug* Edited July 20, 2022 by Grizzly UK.1209 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shena Fu.5792 Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 came to report this. seems like lighting items in environment, like torches, stop working at certain camera angles. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zildjian.4325 Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 (edited) I'm experiencing lighting issues as well. For me I see it with the reflections on the water while rotating the camera and I first noticed it in Seitung Province. It's almost as though while you rotate the camera the reflections disconnect and then snap back into place. My render sampling is set to native and switching between them made no difference unfortunately. Logging out of the game completely and then logging back in fixed it at first but when I logged out to go do something else and then logged back in the issue returned. I upgraded my graphics driver and tinkered with a lot of the graphic settings. The only thing that seemed to "fix" it was to set the reflections to none. This happened after the update today. My girlfriend is having the same issue on her computer. Here are some screenshots of what I see. Also as a note I did see someone with an Anet tag floating in the water in Seitung Province so maybe they are aware? https://i.imgur.com/sTR3Ttp.jpg?1 https://i.imgur.com/T1sKq3j.jpg?1 https://i.imgur.com/BLnsjeZ.jpg?1 Edited July 20, 2022 by Zildjian.4325 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MithranArkanere.8957 Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 I first thought it was an issue with Scarlet's Playhouse alone, but it happens in several other areas. For example, approaching the Black Cavern Junction in Bitterfrost Frontier. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 (edited) I've noticed 'dark' patches (a band about a third of the mid-screen) that goes dark (like it's night there) in some places, as well.

Pifil.5193 Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 I've noticed the same thing, at first I thought it was just the old story instances but it's in the open world too. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentMoore.9453 Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Can confirm this is happening throughout the game. When I swing my camera near a lightsource, the light clicks on, when I angle it away, it shuts off. Odd. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malterion.7841 Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Good to know, that the issue is not on my side. I just reinstalled the game twice, disabled dx11, tried compatibility modes, the bug still persists. And something similar seems to have happened in another patch about eight months ago. I hope this get's patched rather quickly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Meatsack.1650 Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Good to know that I'm not the only one seeing this issue. Started after patch on 19th. Happens in various maps. Same thing that Caerbannog's video shows. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asura Disco Ball. 400 gems. Drop it for others to use. Use to choose between 1 minute effect and 1 hour effect. The effect pus the character in disco mode, creating a disco ball over them, disco lighting effects, and background disco music. Idle animations are replaced with dances. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not once did I see any more of this weird lighting issue where certain light sources seem to suddenly switch off and on as you move around. Finished playing and logged out, exited the game, did some other stuff for a bit and then shut down my system while I was busy with other things. Finally popped back in-game, logged into the same toon from earlier in Hoelbrak and went into Hunter's Hearth to gather my daily materials. This time the lighting started switching off and on almost constantly as I moved around gathering from each of the various nodes in the Home instance! So I guess we now play the waiting game to see how long it takes A-net to fix this? 🙄 Edited July 21, 2022 by Grizzly UK.1209 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emmapenna.9835 Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Noticed this in arborstone while fishing in the lake by the fish vendors. Got very annoying so i stopped fishing. Looked like it went from day to night, almost like a disco. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neurion.4086 Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Same issue in Verdant Brink, at the flax patch area. Turning the camera around changes the lighting from day to night. After the latest patch there is a third instance of CoherentUI_Host.exe running in the Task Manager. Anyone knows what exactly does it do? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZioGio.9102 Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 (edited) It appears that disabling DX11 (in-game checkbox, restart) does not resolve the issue. I thought it may have been related to the DX11 beta glitches. Edited July 22, 2022 by ZioGio.9102 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeanBB.4268 Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 I saw this for the first time, in the daily mini dungeon Tears of Itlaocol (forgive my spelling...). I haven't been able to play much this week, so that may have been the first indoor area for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troy.3257 Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Ive disabled everything in video settings , including Direct X 11. Changed video drivers twice. Even tried different monitors. Still doing it. Whatever that patch did its on the games end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garpu.6210 Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Huh. I thought this one was related to the WINE/CoherentUI weirdness Linux users have been having. Come to think of it, it's awfully like a bug that happened when dx11 was back in beta. (The craigstead instance for LW season 1 (through the scrying pool) would cause it.) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
