Graphical issues

[kurngar]

Since 4.1 I have had an interesting graphical issue in Uldum, the water in the lake looks it is filling every time I fly over it and several of my mounts have weird clipping issues ie. wings not there. I ticketed blizz and they had me dump all the folders we normally dump and this fixed the issue. I reloaded all the addons that i run and the issue was back. I then just disabled nUI and no graphic issues. I then loaded just nUI and the graphic issue is back. I will post as soon as I can so you all can see what I mean. Thank you for your help

I've had one other person bring this up and for the moment I'm clueless as to why nUI would cause it. That said, if you change your video option for water rendering to "low" it will fix the problem until I can figure out what's going on.

[kurngar]

will do, thanks for the prompt response, although watching the lake fill like a bathtub is fun...lol

[spiel2001]

Okay, I've fed this issue up the food chain and the folks in Blizz's engine development team have a few questions to anyone and everyone who is having this problem...

We need more information regarding this. Does it happen with multisampling enabled or disabled? Is it in DX9 or DX11? What graphics card is used? A gx.log would be nice.

So... if everyone who is having this problem could answer those questions for me, I would very much appreciate it. I will collect it all and pass it back up the food chain.

You can find your gx.log file in your [ World of Warcraft > Logs ] folder. Just use the paperclip icon in your message editor when you reply to upload your log file with your message or scroll down the message editor page to the "Manage Attachments" button.

not sure if it helps but i do remember WoW saying something a couple months back about a driver update causing issues. I do not remember the exact issue though just remember reading not to update my video driver due to it.

[spiel2001]

I've passed your info on to the Blizz engine development team... hopefully they can get this problem fixed soon.

[Kazaran]

I've encountered the same issue, but setting liquid details to low didn't help. I've noticed that some objects seem to shift position a few feet down when any water is within the field of view - the screenshots show what I mean.

[spiel2001]

Yeah... this is a Blizz bug. They're working it. Hopefully we'll see a fix in 4.2 if not sooner.

[leedell]

This is a definite fun one. My MSI Windows Laptop (ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4330) and iMac (ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro) both have this issue, but a friend with a Windows tower and an nVidia graphics card says that she has this issue as well. Seeing her rogue running through the terrain in Uldum with only the hair showing is funny. . .(only because it's a friendly rogue).

In addition to the water and height issue, the Fire From the Sky quest is affected, as the red circle showing where the flaming death will land. . .is significantly displaced from the target location. (The intended target is hit, but it looks like the projectile hits elsewhere.)
