    We're doing what we can by cataloging dxdiags for the devs to see which chipsets are having the issues.

    Things like this are difficult to track down, because not everyone is getting the glitches.
    Do you need help learning about patching the game, installing it, changing antivirus/firewall settings, changing network settings, learn how to use a computer, keeping your PC maintained and more?

    For the time being, if looking at the grass or moving away doesn't seem to help anyone, try putting the game in windowed mode -- solved my issue as well as others' issues on different games. Rather than flashing, there is a performance hit and everything becomes very choppy. In this case, simply looking away does work.

    Happens when viewing a specific building with bubbles floating on it's wall. There's a teleporter inside that causes the game to crash to desktop when you attempt to use it.

    It is the graphics on the teleporter building in TB home. Just change the graphics on that building.

    There is another location with this issue, Caves of menaces, in the water where you exit the boss from (the cave in the back), if you look at one of the walls (south west) this happens also.

    Like closetyeti, running in windowed mode stops the blinking but the performance becomes choppy. This only happens in Dragonfang Village and Raging Tide City. I've also updated Directx and the graphics drivers.

    I get flashing but not a black flash. Almost always in the Tideborn areas, most common the starting area, but I have once got the same thing inside archo west.
    When it flashes the ground just vanishes, dosent turn black, but like you just deleted the ground your walking then comes back then deleted again and repeats. Seems to fix itself if I exit client and reboot, untill i go near tideborn starter area again.
    I was told it was my video vard not being campitable, but this is a expensive box and if the game has a prob with high end graphics cards then have a prob here :P
    I am in Vista 64, I have 24GB ram, 3TB HD, using a CoreI7-950, ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2 with 2GB ram, using 2 of them on crossfire bridge.
    I did some messing around, because was getting really annoying, and I pulled out one of the video cards so removed the crossfire connection, the problem does still happen, but it seems to correct itset if i re angle the cam to look at the sky then back at the ground seems to be ok. So not sure if the others are using crossfire or not, but possible problem with that maybe?

    I also tried to use Windows7, I got a free upgrade with my pc, and it seemed to be alot worse a issue on Windows7 then on vista64. Help hope something happens

    Happy PWIng

    Here is the link to view my DX diagnostics.

    I only appear to have the trouble in the new Tideborn area, the city was okay, but the other beginning areas are not. Pointing the camera directly at the ground and zooming in stops this, however as you can imagine, it is awkward to quest in such a manner.

    I am currently attempting play in Windowed mode which alleviates the game breaking flashing error to be replaced with game deterring lag and choppiness. Including delays in response to any keypresses and mouse commands. Oftimes changing the camera angle will not exit the camera changing stance as it acts like I am still holding down the right mouse button until I click it again.

    I hope there is resolution for this soon. I was looking forward to the expansion for so long :) As someone who works with programming myself I can appreciate the time and effort required to correct any issues. Best of luck!

    Issue has gotten worse for me. Use to be flashing only, then blinking black screen. Now however I get as far as "Entering Perfect World" and the whole thing locks up. Have had PWI for the last two months with no problems. This just started in the last few days. Not sure if it was the latest update or what. Am put out that this issue keeps me from the game. (the only one I actually paly anymore). Hope it's resolved soon.
