i bought a new laptop the other day and finally got around to installing guild wars onto it but when i'm in game i get a lot of white boxes and weird animations... i have tried installing new drivers but it wont let me install ones that don't come from the hp website. I have also tried installing old graphics drivers too but still no look. The laptop is a HP Envy 13 d012na and the specs are as follows. HP Envy 13 d012na Windows 10 Intel i3-6100U @2.3GHz 4GB Ram Intel HD Graphics 520 Direct x 12 I have also tried playing guild wars in windows xp mode but still the same problem. I tried installing guild wars again after deleting every file possible but again still no look. Last thing i did was install guild wars 2 to see if that had the same problem but it ran absolutely perfect! im completely out of ideas on what to do... Can anyone on here please help me? Picture showing what i see ingame.

Try running it in compatibility mode, either Windows Xp or windows 7

I already have buddy, that's what I meant by running it in Windows xp mode... No idea why only guild wars is running bad! GW2, Skyrim and CSGO run fine...

I think so yeah, all drivers are up to date, Windows is fully up to date and I'm running direct x 12.

While logged into GW1 did you press F11 and check your graphics options? Might be as simple as an adjustment there, especially if every other game is running fine.

Turns out someone else in Ascalon was also having troubles with their graphics card on gw, it could be related?

No idea! Could be, I think it might be something to do with Windows 10 but I had it on my old laptop and it ran fine tbh. If anyone has this problem make a shortcut for guild wars and enter -dx8 as follows Guildwars.exe" -dx8

Oh wow, Windows 10! I totally forgot that my son had a problem with it when he first installed it. He has a HP Laptop as well. He had to reinstall windows 10, basically redo the whole freaking thing. He was pissed and it took forever to reinstall everything, but it's up and running fine now. Sorry I didn't think of that sooner, it happened so many months ago I completely forgot until you mentioned it.

I'm going to keep the info you posted about Dx8 for future referrence. All of my family, except my son, is still running on vista which is soon for the graveyard. If we have problems with GW1 when we update that may be the cure. Thank you for that! I myself only use a comp for office and GW1, so I'll happily re-install if need be for Gw1. My family however, hate the whole gotta get it right thing, will probably use your cure. I'm am, to be sure, guilty of ocd.....lmao! Must get those labels facing forward!!!!
just a thought tho, check your F11 options. It may in the longrun save on lag as well. At least that's what the A-Net techies told me when I had problems years ago. 6 months of back and forth diagnosis and that was their cure. Thanks a-Net, I think..... still assessing the lag.....

I'm glad the info might help you in future i get about 60 fps in town and nearly 100 when charr farming so I don't think it's lag. I did go through all the settings and play with it all but nothing other than this has changed anything but atleast I can play now

My son tried to delay the inevitable too, but eventually he did have to reinstall Windows 10 ...with far better results.
