graphics issues

I have no idea why nui would cause my graphics to loose water and images at certain camera angles but with all my addons off everything is normal. with only nui active it happens. I'm running windows 7 directx 11 ( directx 9 wasn't any better). I am using the lastest release non beta version of nui.

The first screen shot is with nui the second is without.

Thanks

Edit: I have tried dell drivers and ati drivers no change

Are you two playing on a Mac or a PC?

If you would, open the file [World of Warcraft > Interface > AddOns > nUI > Main > nUI.lua ] in a plain text editor and look for this line...

Code:
        WorldFrame:SetPoint( "BOTTOM", nUI_Dashboard, "CENTER", 0, 0 );
and change it to look like this...

Code:
        --WorldFrame:SetPoint( "BOTTOM", nUI_Dashboard, "CENTER", 0, 0 );
then save the file and reload WoW. Does the problem go away?

***EDIT

I just went into :

esc
options
graphics > effects > Liquid Detail:

and set the detail to low and BAMF the water came back.

if i set it to fair the water goes away a little, if i set it to good or higher the water disappears completely....

so i am not sure why that would start happening after patch.

Yeah... unfortunately, my computer is told old and pathetic to support the advanced water features, so I have no way to test that. There have been issues in the Bliz graphics engine related to water and sky textures, but those were related to the viewports... the change I had you make removed the viewport, so if the problem didn't go away, that's not the cause.

I wish I knew what to suggest. I honestly don't know.

I'm all ears if any other users have ideas/input.

EDIT: Oh, and yeah... are you playing on a PC or a Mac?

I made this change did a /nui rl and it seemed to take care of the issue for me at least inUldum and over the damn.

Accordingly it appears from the Blizz forumns that this is related to viewports.

Yeah... I kind of figured as much... that change removed nUI's viewport and, thus, the problem went away.

Looks like Blizz fixed the problem in most of the world for the 4.1 patch but missed a couple of areas.

Just open [World of Warcraft > Interface > AddOns > nUI > Main > nUI.lua ] in a plain text editor like notepad and do a search for this line...

Code:
WorldFrame:SetPoint( "BOTTOM", nUI_Dashboard, "CENTER", 0, 0 );
.
and change it to look like this...

Code:
--WorldFrame:SetPoint( "BOTTOM", nUI_Dashboard, "CENTER", 0, 0 );
.
then save the file and reload WoW.

I am having the same water issues. I switched from directx9 to 11 with nui still disabled and the water was gone. I changed liquid detail to low, enabled the addon, and the water came back. I still have the issue of the graphics not on the same plane as my charactet at certain angles. Pc with windows7

Any plain text editor, like Notepad, should work.

Disabling WorldFrame:SetPoint in nUI.lua does remedy the problem, but, and with no offense to Scott nor any other addon author using viewport mods, Blizzard needs to step up and actually fix this, instead of beating around the bush, and pretty much placing the blame on the addons being used.

I've been following the threads pertaining to this on the WoW forums, and what it pretty much has boiled down to, in spite of users making the effort to link discussions with addon authors regarding this NOT being an addon issue, but instead, a problem with the way the aforementioned function is being implemented by Blizzard, is simply this: Since disabling your addon makes the problem go away, there is no problem to begin with.

Can't say as how I am surprised by this, honestly. I can, however, applaud the time and patience put forth by those authors who have to deal with this sorry attitude.

disabling viewport

I disabled teh viewport as was suggested in the first reply on this thread, made the changes exactly as specified, saved the file, completely exited wow, restarted wow and everything works fine. so if that fix isn't working for others i would venture to guess you did not make the change correctly.

Scott, my email address changed... how do i update my email for your mailing list regarding nUI+ updates?
