If you could look at the image posted at the URL below...

http://www.cybersyzygy.com/particle_problem_002.jpg

This just started for me. Every time I log in, I have to go view / beacons / hide all particles or I get this all the time now, where ever I go that there are particles. I can't figure out why this is happening all of the sudden since I've been playing with the same card (6600 GT) in the same athlon 64 3200+, 1 gig ram system since I started in January and I haven't made any changes to my settings. Even uninstalled and reinstalled and I get the same problem with particles... This started happening just before the last patch and carried through to the current one.

I've reinstalled my video drivers, uninstalled and reinstalled, removed and reinstalled... nothing works. I'm at a loss at what to do besides go buy a new video card, which, it's probably time for anyway..

Is there a fix, something I'm missing?

Thanks!

o.O That's weird! Never heard of that happening, do you use any attachments that could cause this?

I'm not seeing the invisable, and ctrl alt T won't have any effect, but to make things a lot uglier... the problem is with the particles, because when I turn them off, I can see everything just fine.

Nope. Because it even happens on my alternate character now. It's a problem with the client, as far as I can tell.
