The Meatsack.1650 Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Strange that you mentioned the trading post. In addition to the lighting bug, I've noticed a black line on items I try to sell on the TP and it seems there is a slight lagginess when the items are highlighted showing their details. I'm beginning to think the lighting bug originates when the game client is first loaded. When the bug is NOT occurring during a loaded session it seems to me some of the models are darker than usual. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HatterMadigan.9437 Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Just chiming in to add my voice, I am also experiencing this in Hoelbrak today and a couple locations in Diessa Plateau last night. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutOfMyMind.9613 Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Noticed this in Royal Terrace at the Tailor crafting station. When the camera was pretty close to my shoulder it seemed like night, but move the camera to a high overhead view and the correct lighting returned. Hope they get this fixed as it is really annoying. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pez.8915 Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 https://streamable.com/uge7s6 I'm sure others have probably posted about this already but thought I'd drop in my clip as well. Something causes the main directional light to be ignored when it should be prioritized. Newly defined max cap on lights rendering or something to that effect I assume.

Grizzly UK.1209 Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 When I logged in-game shortly after the last patch (July 21, 2022 - Build: 131,907) the lighting was behaving normally. Played for about an hour before quitting and shutting down my system. Logged in-game about 4 hours ago, entered Hunter's Hearth and once again the lighting was behaving weirdly with this constant flickering off and on. Been seeing this flickering light issue in all sorts of places since the July 19 (Build: 131,259) patch, so it doesn't seem to be restricted to certain or specific locations. I realize this is a bit unrealistic, but has anyone seen any sort of response from anybody at A-net to say that they are at least aware of this issue and maybe even investigating? 😲 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batel.9206 Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 (edited) Noticed this in the House of Malomedies in the Grove. Walk in, and all the lights shut off. Turn the camera slightly, or move the character, and the lights come back on. I get that Nightblooms like the dark and all, but this is just silly. 😜 Edit: I do not have DX11 turned on, by the way.

Zok.4956 Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 I noticed this odd lighting too. It was in WvW on Alpine Borderlands in the Hills Keep in the Lord room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agathor.2613 Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Chiming in here - returned after 5 year hiatus a couple days ago and had multiple instances of this while levelling a new character. Moving the camera at certain angles especially around single light sources (torches crystal sparks etc) the light turns on and off depending on camera angle.

GODh.3892 Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 I have seen this at the flax farm in Verdant Brink. When down there and moving the camera, it feels like switching between day and night. I have DX11 turned on, not tested yet without it... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike.7983 Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Yes please fix, go fight TM in Auric and you get super light induced seizure effects. Luckily doesn't affect me but for others not so lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zartlett.7215 Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Me and my other half are having this lighting issue. This game used to look really good, now not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabs.7391 Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Came here to see if it was just me. I've also done everything I can think of and it's still there. No problems before patch. It is really irritating in some areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArcaneChaos.9467 Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Same happening to me as well. Really sucks in jumping puzzles when I'm moving the camera a lot and suddenly everything goes dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllAmericanGirls.7361 Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 7 hours ago, JHONG.8137 said: need delete gw2 Temp Doesn't seem to work for me. Deleting Window 10's DirectX shader cache doesn't help either. From what I noticed so far it seems to be caused by a glitch related to pre-culling when dynamic lights are enabled/disabled while moving the camera in tight spaces. It also happens occasionally to water reflections when moving the camera quickly while swimming. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shiv Deeviant.8072 Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 I too have been seeing this, but with an extra caveat. When running in Drizzlewood Coast, I've begun seeing random overlays on the screen, like a lighting texture has a bad link or something. Suddenly my entire screen is filled with a texture pack for an... airship? I think? Maybe? Link is a screenshot. This would change if I look away, and then back when I look at a champ. It was really weird. It procced with this champ and the Iron, Flame, and Ash Tribunes past Wolf's Crossing before I just gave up and stopped playing.

Rayti.6531 Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Same here - seems to genereally happen around light sources like bonfires, torches, etc. At certain camera angles, the light sources appear to be "switched off", not casting any light on the surrounding environment.

It's as if this "camera" is blocking the light. A very weird bug, never happened until the latest patch. I can confirm this observation. I decided to give DX11 another try once the patch went live, and this bug caught my attention more than once, e.g. at Tangled Depths. 2 hours ago, Dib.4612 said: Have the same issue. DX9. Glad to hear this one is not DX11 related for a change. Edited July 26, 2022 by Ashantara.8731 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralWut.7426 Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 This issue also seems to include another odd visual bug: reflections on water will freeze at the same time that the lighting bug occurs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
