just logged in and under every person a opaque black shape is under everyone. The shape changes as well as its size based on race/mount the person is. I updated addons and disable them all, doesnt fix it. Performance is unaffected, so im not really sure what is causing these to show. it looks like its the hitboxes of each model.
Anyone have any ideas?
I am experiencing the same thing. Hopefully we can get a resolution soon.
I’m seeing it too. Occurs with NPCs, including my hunter pets. I’m using DX11 and shadow details are low. Disabled all addons, no change. A friend of mine has it as well. We’re both using nVidia based cards but still using Windows 7.
Update: Remembered I had a Win10 laptop using AMD based Vega graphics. After updating the client and starting game, it does not occur there.
Update 2: After updating video drivers and trying a scan and repair from launcher, to no success, discovered that the problem doesn’t occur now if shadows are set to fair or above. If it is set to low, the black boxes come back.
Update 3: Black squares still appear under certain ground effects, even if Shadow Quality is set to Ultra High. Example: the little whirlwinds in Restless Wetlands in Waking Shores around 80,42 coordinates.
I’ve tried updating my drivers, disabling addons, and rebooted the computer.
Update: They are gone, i tried relogging and got stuck in the dc loop. During this time i updated my drivers and did a scan/repair and they are no longer present.
Thanks, this was helpful! I’m on Win7 using DX11 legacy and setting the shadows to fair made the black boxes go away.
I am having the same issues. Tried to change the shadow’s but it didn’t fix anything. Turning shadows up removed the black tiles/squares in the city, but the minute I got into dungeons, any new mechanics (fire, ground effects, etc) started having really big black squares.
Same here. Questing outside in Obsidian Citadel, I saw square shadows where fireballs were landing on the ground. Just started happening with the 10.0.5 update. (Windows 7.)
Same, just saw black squares at the edge of Krasus’ Landing in Broken Isles Dalaran (the area with the fel fire near the teleport to the warrior class hall). Hopefully this will get addressed soon.
Same problem here, also with Windows 7. Just started happening with the 10.0.5 patch. Hopefully it gets fixed soon as Windows 7 is still officially supported even if it is old.
im having the same issue . i dont know how to fix it . i checked all my drivers and settings . its weird it only does it to some things but not all things
Hey there,
This is due to a graphics bug new with patch 10.0.5. The WoW team is working on hotfixing it as soon as possible.
thank you so much for a reply
I’ve noticed it seems to be limited to circular effects that would fade outward to transparent, such as around rings of fire, or blob shadows (the low quality setting), as well as the shadows from the fireballs in obsidian bulwark.
It’s pretty ridiculous that it took almost 24 hours after the patch for ANYONE at blizzard to respond to this. Not being able to see ground effects has effectively broken the game for anyone doing any sort of serious Mythic+ key push or raiding content. How is it that you can implement a minor patch, and cause so many issues? As if you’ve not been around for 20 years as a company. Absolutely pathetic that this is the state of the game that we pay for.
I get off work from teaching and coaching at 6pm, and usually like to run a key or two before going and prepping up lessons for the next day. Extreme let down to get home, the patch isn’t finished, and then for the next ??? amount of time, I can’t do the content I would like, because I’ll brick a key.
Thanks for the fun times, guess its already time to go back to Elder Scrolls Online a whole two months into a new expansion.
Useless
There are numerous other graphical issues tied to this that I’m seeing as well. I hope all of this will be fixed soon! Raiding when certain mechanics are not being properly displayed is very frustrating.
after the hotfix last night all my issues have been fixed
