In Game flickering of red lighting/glow effects

Support Technical Support
1

Hey everyone,

I noticed this less than a week ago, but red “glow” and “lighting” effects seem to be flickering. I checked my graphics card drivers, my monitor drivers, and played with all of my in game settings and cannot figure out what is causing this.

I tried uploading a video, if it helps: https://youtu.be/7nYnSW_w4nQ

Does anyone have any idea how I can correct this? What information do you need from me?

I have noticed this in the Orgrimmar Portal Room, in the Horrific Vision, and in Molten Core.

Update: I just went to Ulduar, and the shield when you first walk in now also does this.

What is your anti aliasing on? and do you have an Nvidia GPU?

Hey there,

Can you try resetting the user interface and see if it persists?

If it does, are you using DirectX 12 or 11? (Under System → Advanced → Graphics API)

Also go ahead and post your DXDIAG:

  1. Press Windows Key + R.
  2. In the Run window type dxdiag and press Enter.
  3. In the DirectX window, click Save All Information.
  4. Name the file “dxdiag” and save it to your Desktop. Open the new dxdiag file with Notepad.
  5. In the posting section here hit the </> button for “Preformatted text” then paste (Ctrl+V) the DXDIAG contents. That’ll make the information much more readable.

If you are unable to post this due to the length of the DXDIAG, please feel free to use pastebin.com and share the link with us instead. Use the </> button as well in order to share the link.

Hey there,

I reset the user interface using the steps provided on that link. No add-on managers and I renamed the folders.

I logged in to try it and went to the Molten Core and it is not occurring. I wonder what addon was causing it.

Do you still want the DXDiag file?

Thank you again for your help!

Soundscape,

Looks like we missed your reply. To answer your question - if you got it fixed with the Reset UI, we don’t need the DXDiag anymore. You’re usually safe to reinstall the addons one by one. I recommend doing this manually rather than using an addon manager to avoid resyncing the old data that caused this in the first case.
