Water problems on PTR

I had a slight problem after updating with the new patch today, version 4.0.1.13033
http://s.wowinterface.com/images/sty...tach/jpg.gif33.http://www.wowinterface.com/forums/a...1&d=1285446547

The screenshots were taken with only nUI installed, it happened on all chars, have more screenies if you wish. It was most disorientating riding round SW with this happening.

What is the problem with the water ? Lack of it sometimes ? If that is the case I have been having that problem all through beta and ptr before nUI was even set up to run with it so it's not a nUI problem as such. Now whether it is a memory problem and nUI is taking just that bit too much may be resolvable when nUI 6 is ready as I am sure that will have a smaller footprint.

Go into the Video options for WoW and turn down the detail of water effects to the middle or low. It's a known bug with the servers on Beta and the PTR last I was aware.

it was the double image of my char, pet and the terrain that was unusual.
I reduced the water effects and its good now.

I am new to this testing and when I forget to try things out it is not laziness its inexperience

That's never a problem... all input is always appreciated and we all start out not knowing what we're doing and learning from there.

Experience is simply defined as the ability to recognize a mistake while you're making it again.

Why is this only a problem when nUi is running though? I have the same problem and as soon as I disable nUI it goes away.

It could be related to graphics loading of the GPU... the graphics load with nUI is higher than without it.

Seeing same issue as well.. Setting Water Settings to Low fixes it, but seems like something that should be looked into
