Glowy Path/Loot Issue

sgaddis13

Has anyone else had issues with their quest path vanishing and their loot not glowing/blending in with the floor? I've had it happen in the past, but it seems to be frequent these days.

I have a guild mate who told me it's been happening to him almost every day for the last week or two. Subsequently, while in party with him and another guild mate of ours last night, all three of us had it happen. Restarting our consoles didn't fix it, though that is a trick I've tried in the past. We ended up cutting our game play short because of it.

I told them I would report it here, but I don't really know if there's anything we can do to stop it.

To me it seems to be more prevalent on busy days and instances, think chult on a Monday. Usually if I reboot my xbox that makes it better for a while, but as you said, not always. This would imply that the game requires too many resources to display the visuals, maybe some sort of memory leak or we all need better hardware - c'mon Santa, bring me an XboxX...maybe there is an in game setting that could be changed to prevent this, but it definitely seems to creep/progress/become worse over time in a busy map with much loot on the ground.

Happened to me several times, not sure how it’s triggered but I have a solution for it. Reset a quest path in enclave.

It happens to me when I have been playing for a few hours. Quitting Neverwinter and restarting usually fixes it.

That is a really good question. I wonder if it happens on the X, as well? I saw two reports on the PC forums, so I am guessing it is a universal thing.

Thank you for the suggestion. I haven't heard that one yet. I will try it next time before going through the hassle of rebooting the console and crossing my fingers that the reboot works.

Rebooting is almost like when (those of us who are old enough to have done this) we had to stand by the tv and adjust the antenna little by little until the signal came back. You have to make sure you're standing the right way and holding your breath before it works.

I usually exit to the dashboard, select Neverwinter and press select and then quit. When I start the game again the path has returned.

Restarting the game used to work in my case, but now I generally have to proceed to a complete reboot, and that is also hit and miss these days. I have no idea why.

This has been my experience.
