Axarr.6358 Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Also got this bug in the story mission, "Mightier than the sword." The norn at the beginning had gone to plaid. https://imgur.com/e2ZRFtj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Countess.3267 Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 In "Lines of Communication" (Asura Act III finale), Flax is checkered. Zojja is also checkered, but only in some. She has a brief scene at the beginning where her normal skin is present. I'm an Asura, female, revenant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soliluna.1763 Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 I've encountered this issue numerous times in the personal story (as others have said, with Zojja) but also with other characters, some of them only minor characters who appear in the story for one particular mission. Sadly at the time I didn't think to record them and have only now thought about looking up the issue. (Just noticed that LightningFalcon.4928 posted above one of those characters from my human/male story). I just had it happen to an Ooze Projection from an event in Metrica Province at the heart just north east of Jeztar Falls. It's a little bit frustrating as the art quality in the game is one of it's stand out features. Hopefully the GW2 team can get it resolved before I continue into the expansion content - because I've never seen those characters before! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ectalem.2968 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 This is happening to me, too. So far, I only see it it cutscenes where two characters are talking back and forth in my personal stories. I haven't seen it in-game yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyhusky.2985 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 I've been going through the first few chapter of each stories for each race for the achievements, I put up a few untextured glitches earlier. but... The texture bug is still around. Last bit of asura and few parts in the sylvari's bit. Note - I played the asura one yesterday before the patch so I don't know if its been fixed, however, I am just gonna post it encase. Asura - Chapter 1 The inquest guy is untextured - https://www.dropbox.com/s/0dok4hz23hf9zzb/gw445.jpg?dl=0 Also later on Zojja is untexted again at the lake part, looking for tha chunk of the artifact Asura - Chapter 2 Talking to mink after you rescue him after the bandits, and In your lab looking at the diagrams, both times Zojja is untextured - https://www.dropbox.com/s/3m2snueizg7a922/gw449.jpg?dl=0 Asura - Chapter 3 Rescuing that professor, Zojja is untextured - https://www.dropbox.com/s/gfiv9mn5237qtcb/gw450.jpg?dl=0 Sylvari - Chapter 3 When you are a bandit, you are untextured but Cai sin't. https://www.dropbox.com/s/r7sw64udx30vdve/gw453.jpg?dl=0 **I also encounter a VERY VERY strange bug during the sylvari's 2nd chapter. When you're in the nightmare court's area in disguses for whatever reason it played the same scene TWICE! The scene where you see first that knight of embers person. The first time the scene played, she was untextured (here is the screenshot) https://www.dropbox.com/s/b43e6xqyrfjjx8u/gw452.jpg?dl=0 However when it played that same scene for the second time, The ember knight was normal... what is going on? She was untextured before.** I don't know if the game broke or something, but scenes should not be playing twice. The scene played a second time when I went to rescue the wardens, I think there is suppose to be a scene with you talking to the wardens, if so, it didn't show me that one. Also I'll be going through the Norn story either tomorrow or the day after if i find any texture oddities I'll post them when i am done. Surprisingly enough the Human story didn't have any textures glitches for me. Maybe I choose the paths that didnt have any errors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beethoven.5163 Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 The latest update said it has been fixed but I've only just encountered it again. It happened in the Sylvari Personal Story. Not sure if it shows up in other scenarios so here is the exact spot it took place in: Starting with the "Where Life Goes" quest, "Chapter 2: The Teachings of Ventari", the cinematic in "A Different Dream". Here, the Knight of Embers is checkered. I don't remember if the next cinematic involving her is also broken or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beethoven.5163 Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Update: It appears that perhaps every NPC that only shows up once is checkered. Just found the second culprit while following the story: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maulclaw.4365 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 According to the Patch Notes on the fifth, problems like this should have been gone by now. The thing is, the problem still persists as you can see in the picture down below:  It doesn't seem to be as extreme as before (I haven't seen any in-game cutscenes affected by it like in Season 2), but it's still very much present in the Personal Story and in dungeons. It's quite distracting and eerie. I'm hoping that someone from the team will be able to explain if any progress about this issue is going to be made or what might be causing it. Do I need to repair my client? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghost.1076 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 https://i.imgur.com/gJgald8.jpg Some checkered goodness in Caudecus Manor (Story Mode).

Kaden Zech.2407 Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Been having this issue as well with two of my characters at the low level personal stories. Any ideas on how to fix? It is VERY immersion breaking to just have this checkered box person talking all the time. Form the Apothecary because I was a street rat, to the first soldier in the tutorial... As well as the Doc trying to poison the wells. It's getting irritating. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thobio.8725 Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Character model: Zojja NPC During: Cutscenes of the Asura main story quest lvl 10 Character model of Zojja has the black&white checkerboard texture during the cutscenes of her talking https://imgur.com/a/azoUzsV Issue and screenshot made on 9th of february 17:45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArenaNet Staff Gaile Gray.6029 Posted February 9, 2019 ArenaNet Staff Share Posted February 9, 2019 I want to call attention to THIS thread, as this is the place to report issues with seeing "checkboard" effects on characters or NPCs. Please do not create a new thread on this topic, but post here so we have the maximum information available to the devs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FitzChivalry.9230 Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Is there any ETA for a fix on this? It's preventing me from finishing the personal story as I want to play it as it was meant to be experienced, not with a chequered flagg zojja.

GeekDavid.2786 Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 I thought the last patch was gonna fix it. I guess not. On my latest cutscene (level 30 asura) Zojja was checkerboard but the three order reps were just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naotan.3645 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 hi i am also experiencing this issue i believe it is only happening in personal story cut-scenes for me at least . i haven't see this problem in PoF or HoT quests yet. i have noticed it on multiple characters of different races an classes and the same cut scenes don't all ways have the issue e.g i did the early part of the char story and one time it had the issue and the other it did not thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JadedMemory.7041 Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Got this also, during one of the later personal story quests where you choose to find a missing exploration team and end up confronting a raised rogue guy, forgot the name sorry but here's a screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/EPhnXBm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 I experienced the 'checkerboard' texture when previewing a Mini-pet. (Submitted an in-game bug report.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zennia.5762 Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Chiming in with a "me too" on the missing Zojja texture. Really hoping this is fixed soon. It's not gamebreaking or anything but it really impacts the enjoyment of the personal story cutscenes. :/ https://i.imgur.com/BfaHJ0G.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altermaven.7385 Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019  Sylvari with the "Green Knight" chapter 1 personal story, happens at the first step and the last step. Bercilak, the ~~green~~ missing skin knight :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaden Zech.2407 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Has this issue been looked at yet? It's almost been a month with no word from Devs. :/ Do they literally not care because it's core? If so, that's a very poor reasoning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 They released a patch with the last update, more issues occured; I'd assume they are looking at what is causing the issues after the patch. It's not always easy to find why something 'bugs' out, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
