Micadog Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Getting the same thing myself. Always from those 'energy towers'. Either get the green line, but depending on the viewing angle, it can turn into a huge sheet of blinding light that covers most of the screen. Very off putting and certainly hard on the eyes. Changing the camera angle or view angle can help, but it rarely goes away completely. Have found it in 3-4 locations on Tatooine and 1 on Nar Shaddaa.

Lonewolf Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Agreed this can be very annoying, definitely something BW needs to fix in the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeedaix Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 If you have nvidia graphic card, the newest beta driver will solve your problem: http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp-290.53-beta-driver.html I love you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeedaix Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Wasnt Taris for me it was Tatooine, It seems to be a render issue (duh) that fixes itself upon getting closer (well for me) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micadog Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 To the OP. What triggers migraines varies from person to person, but sudden bright light or flashing light is on most lists of known triggers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xianpu Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 (edited) Got some pics of it in Balmorra. It was terrible for me in Tatooine too. Got an ATI card and definitely have the latest drivers... it's very annoying, I suffer from migraines but it hasn't triggered anything like that for me, it's just uncomfortable to look at. It flashes as well, last night I was struggling to look at the screen because of it. My husband saw it too, he has a slightly better graphics card than me. It looks a lot worse on mine though. http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/213/screenshot2011122914115.jpg/ http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/406/screenshot2011122914114.jpg/ http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/802/screenshot2011122914113.jpg/ Edited December 29, 2011 by xianpu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thenego Posted December 29, 2011 Author Share Posted December 29, 2011 Wasnt Taris for me it was Tatooine, It seems to be a render issue (duh) that fixes itself upon getting closer (well for me) Thank you for your response, Jeedaix The exact opposite actually happened to me. As I closed my distance to the 'power generator' it became worse. I tried swirling my camera around as well as zooming in or out. Adjusting my camera had several affects on the glitch. Sometimes this technique made the issue worse, better, or it didn't change at all. Also, it would pop up during conversation scenes. This was probably the worst of all, since I could do nothing to adjust my camera or run though the area quickly, and I had to keep my eyes on the screen.

Thank you Micadog for your post, I know that this causes migraines, but I always try to give circumstances outside of my control the benefit of the doubt. It may sound very 'wussy' of me, but I try to avoid looking at my screen when I see these anomalies specifically because of this reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zegeldis Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 What card do you have? I have a GTX 580, am downloading the drivers now, and am curious to see how it works. I have a GTX 460. Nice card, runs the game great but the whole graphical glitches thing is doing my head in. Last night I couldn't even read some of the story line texts correctly as there was this big yellowish/green "thing" in front of the NPC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triss Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Thought it was my graphic card playing up when I first saw this. Was in beta too! But yes, drastically needs a fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaelthun Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Thought it was my graphic card playing up when I first saw this. Was in beta too! But yes, drastically needs a fix. Same here, figured AMD wasn't doing a proper job on their drivers It's only this one game asset though, the weird spire things. Everything else is fine.

SW_Mystaya Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Same here, i've had it for several days now, when I played in Alderaan. It is really annoying. I'm trying to rotate the camera away as much as possible when it happens, but it always comes back. Hope they do something about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ommm Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 (edited) /push This issue should not get ignored, especially if it can get fixed easily by simply deleting said tower in the camps. Edited December 29, 2011 by Ommm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrakusMa Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 All of those are client side, more than likely due to video card issues. I have been to all of those locations and do not experience those effects in the slightest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daeborn Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 The lighting glitch is the one bug I have to agree needs fixing like ASAP. But it's not game breaker. I know they'll fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poeple with both ATI and NVIDIA have the error with all sorts of drivers. Sytem is updated. Edited December 29, 2011 by Ommm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daeborn Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Thank you Ommm for your response, I don't care how fussy or prissy I may sound, but I'm honestly concerned for my health. Many people are unaware just how much of an affect these sorts of effects have on your brain and eyesight. It isn't good to say the least. For whatever reason they did not fix this sooner, it really needs to be fixed now. I doubt you'd ever really find a correlation between a lighting bug in SWTOR and health. You're looking for a link where there is none. Apart for people prone to seizures I highly doubt there's an adverse affect on the public in general.

Fraxture Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 (edited) Thank you DerWige for this suggestion, I have an ATI card, with the latest drivers. This issues seems to persist. I was going to say I don't have these issues, but I am Nvidia as well. I have heard many ATI users with all kinds of graphical issues though. And I am maxed on all settings and effects as well..
