Top part of screen black around main bar when outside

I have included pictures to show what is going on. This only happens outside and when I turn nui+ there is no issue.

Hmm very weird. Do you have any other addons installed ? It may be a conflict with another addon and there are others that adjust the viewport which that looks like but weird that it only happens when outside.

I've just spent several hours with nUI+ installed and as of yet not come across this. However, a guildie mentioned graphic bugs, like seeing through walls and the such like without nUI being involved so perhaps another addon causing it that nUI can't hide.

This bug is being reported elsewhere, too, and it's a Blizzard bug. It's the same thing as the problem with water rendering when you resize the viewport. What is happening here is that the sky is getting anchored into the wrong place on the screen and leaving a black space where the sky should be.

Playing in full screen mode *may* resolve that... otherwise, it's going to have to wait for a Blizzard fix to the viewport bug.

Doesn't for me.

I get that bug as well. I play in full screen, on a Mac.

I presume that you only get that bug with nUI enabled... yes? It's the same viewport bug as the water problem... when nUI moves the viewport to allow for the dashboard (the world gets moved "up") the sky (and water) do not move with the rest of the world, so you end up with a black space at the top of the world view that's the same size as the distance the world was moved up by nUI.

I can "fix" it by ripping the viewport out of nUI, but that will cause many other problems (like your character moving down the screen vertically into the dashboard, etc.)

Hopefully Blizz will fix this quickly.

Curiosity question... Is anyone having a problem with water rendering and/or sky rendering on a PC? Or is everyone that's having this problem on a Mac?

Those of you who are having the problem with either sky or water rendering, could you please let me know if you are on a Mac or a PC.

Running on a PC with a GTX460 and I get the water rendering issue, solved by turning the liquid detail down to fair or low.

spiel2001 · 10-14-10, 09:14 AM

Do you get the sky problem?

Seer · 10-14-10, 09:35 AM

So far I only noticed the water problem (windows 7) and not the sky. Playing in windowed mode just for refence, and not full screen window.

If I don't forget perhaps changing the renderer to opencl instead of DX it might solve this. If it does I suspect Mac OS user won't have this problem..

Enabling opengl doesnt seem to fix it, then again, enabling it in game seems to crash it for me, and I"m not to sure it is on when set in the config.wtf..

No Scott, no sky issues just the water, also running Win7 64

Without getting into the whys and wherefores, I will be removing the viewport from nUI5, at least temporarily, until the issue with the sky and water rendering gets fixed.

Seer · 10-14-10, 01:30 PM

But... but... we wanna know the whys and wherefores.. Not to mention the hows and whens, and whatevers..

spiel2001 · 10-14-10, 04:32 PM

The viewport has been temporarily removed to resolve this problem until Blizzard gets the bug fix out. The change will appear in the nUI 5.07.04 (Development) update.
