So i am having weird lag and graphical anomaly and i dunno if it only me, I Did not change anything on my side.

Everything was working fine the previous Night before the patch.
All of this happened in wvw no matter if it's on low or high graphic.
There is some case where my warclaw completely vanish Map turning all black, Guard vanishing and only seeing weapon and eyes.
I also cannot see my down stats icon once i am down trees not loading.
My setup is
cpu 5900x
gpu 7900xtx
ram 32GB

windows 11
but like i said nothing changed on my side.
anyone is having similar issues?

I don't know if these are related, but it's a graphical bug that started today, so I'm guessing it most likely is. When fighting Cerrus in the final battle of the currently available story, my UI disappears completely after the cutscene with Peitha plays, except, for who knows what reason, the chat window. I ran a character through this fight yesterday just fine, but have retried this instance 3 times, with the exact same effect each time. This is the 6th character I've run through the story, with no changes to my computer on my end, so I don't see what I could be doing to cause it.

Hello!

Yes. It was caused by the Tuesday's update this week. Previously, i ran the metas without any issues multiple time but with this update. It disappeared/corrupted models, textures disappearance, corrupted textures, black textures, disappearance to some UI elements, black screen with visible player names and UI... partly broken world/mini map and more. It crashed two times so far. One during the Skywatch Archipelago and one after the Tarir meta. I've sent two crash reports to ArenaNet via the crash report tool.

Metas used in the respective order: Chak Gerent - Tarir - Skywatch Archipelago - Amnytas that particpated a bunch of players.

Everything on maxed out graphics, even highest model/character quality at 3840x2160. No problem with the dedicated RAM allocation to my system and graphics card.


Please ArenaNet, take a look on that. It's critical. Keep corrupting graphics and crashing during Metas is not fun.

Same, I've gotten it in WvW and PvE.

I've had it happen where everything turned black except the player and enemy names (The names would still be hidden if an object was in front of them, though)

I also had quite a few problems with maps (the ones you press 'm' to open) not appearing properly or not appearing at all. I'm pretty sure this has something to do with assets being un-loaded while they are still being used, since the problem usually happens where something flickers from working to not working. You don't walk into the void, the void finds you.

Glad I am not the only one. Certain UI elements sometimes just disappear or some objects/effects turn to black. Setting shaders to low and back to high again fixes this temporarily, or it crashes the game. I've had this bug some months ago too, but it was fixed for several months before last patch.

Logged in after few weeks. My glitches seem to affect the character and not the enviroment and that happened after I used the Knife Tail Gang Hunting Bond and the effect did not go away after losing the buff. Armor pieces change, character inside the armor is invisible, colour changes, tail is... like from a bad Elder Scrolls mod.

EDIT: After I used an outfit and took it off, my armor looks have returned.

It still continued as it's never fixed by ArenaNet.

Today, I rebooted the PC and game previously to JUST PARTICIPATED ONLY ONE WORLD BOSS EVENT that's the Great Jungle Wurm in Caledon Forest.
Black textures reappeared, icons disappeared, some player/mount models disappeared... and? I got the application crash after few secs for finishing the world boss event with a success. I saw the black textured Grand Chest too and the partially broken UI elements.

It was a bunch of players participated there due of the weekly task via Wizard's Vault.

Dear Moderator,
please rename the title to: Graphical glitch since September 26th!
The problem is further back since.

They do read the forums at all... but finding the culprit in the game code that caused this severe graphic glitches anomaly isn't always easy. They need a lot of time to fight through the dense code jungle... oh! A lots of coffee/tea mugs too.
We still hadn't found the way for how to reproduce the bug... If I had this... could be easier for them.

Well the lag and glitch/bugs start when 2 blob clash together and everyone use their skill at the same time really.. but i have a feeling that Relic of Cerus might cause problem,
My lag always start when 2-3 Cerus show up.. when they use it i can see the ground turnin black under me, could be a 2-3 skill acting together causing this..
but i would 100% start by that relic.

Still getting 15 fps everything on low at all time in wvw when facing a full blop and everything lag. the only thing that changed is i have no more black map or texture glitch.
Game was running so smooth before that patch in September, i was running well above 60 fps stable while facing 3 way full blop on medium.
I am running an 5900x pair with 7900xtx,

So i did  some testing recently,
My friend who play the game with me does not have any issues and can take 3 whole blop in wvw while staying above 60 fps on medium,
He has a i7 10700k and 4060,
So i put his Nvidia 4060 and made sure to uninstall all Amd drivers with ddu software (Display Driver Uninstaller) to make sure i don't have anything left from amd in my computer,
in general the fps is lower then my 7900xtx but it still going down to 15 fps or even lower in big fight,
So both videocard does the same thing for me,
If both GPU give me almost the same result. does that mean the CPU Might be the problem,
Because like i said, before the patch in September i had great fps and smooth gameplay
So whatever they did on that patch might have issue with AMD CPU?

I have an 5900x that is pretty decent and perform pretty well on all other game.
I try to disable 1 CCD so i would  run with 6 core instead of 12 and overclock core so it would be better and had the same result regardless.

Same here, the graphical glitches were fixed for a while, and as of this patch they are back. 7900 XTX.

Seems like this was fixed again at some point, at least I haven't seen it come up in a few days.
