White Pixelated Clouds/Fog/Auras

Recently (past week) started getting a graphics issue of blurred animations, like white clouds or fog, and things like paladin auras being blurred and pixelated.

Running a Dell Latitude w/Iris Xe graphics.

Tried adjusting various video settings and no change.

Anyone seen this recently? Someone posted about it back in March but I did not see any resolution to it.

Thank you!

I’m running on a Dell with iris xe and i have the same problem.
i think that the updates of today (dell suggested) have crushed the game.
tomorrow I will try to restore system point.

Resolved!!!
Install previous version of Intel Iris Xe Drivers!
it works!

It’s a bug with the new iris drivers that were released in feb, I have the issue too. I’ve been rolling back the driver to last year’s version for months now and windows constantly re-updates it for me, sometimes two or three times a day, sometimes mid-game.

Nothing like being in p8 WSK when your screen goes blank and your driver auto-updates, crashing your game. I’ve tried disabling driver updates, tried enforcing it in the registry… nada, it still upgrades itself back to the busted version… at a rreaalllyy inconvenient time. Don’t drop anything on the ground, you’ll lose it. :smile:

If/when your driver re-updates itself on you… just go into the game options and set ‘transparency quality’ to ultra, and the white globs will disappear.

Harrogath is the easiest place to test, half the city is missing textures and is just a white mess.

OMG! Thank you! That has been driving me nuts!
Even with the updated driver boosting the transparency to ultra seems to have fixed it.

THANK YOU!

you’re welcome. it drove me nuts for months.
:smiling_face:

edit: I mentioned once before on the forum that i’m using a lappy with integrated iris graphics and miss cheetah said that it was technically not a supported device, that i’m lucky it’s working at all and that one day it may just stop working entirely as it doesn’t meet spec. so i’m loathe to make any bug reports and admit that i’m running the card, lest blizzard introduce a system requirements check on game launch. so shhh
