    Theyll probably just leave it in game and use it for a Yellow Snow Name Writing event. Why bother fixing it when you can make it worse.

    something must be messing around with your pwi files, i just went there and there was nothing but lag but keep informing the forums if it continues, try and verify your pwi files again. or submit a ticket.

    files :
    Does Best performance option use a different set of files (gfx)

    hardware:
    or does it increase framerate ?

    b:surrender It happens to Pressa too something everything though goes black and white its crazy but its usually way up in the air and if I move out of the area it goes away till next time. :o I have reinstalled and verified but it always comes back eventually ever since like a year and a half ago but its not game breaking so Pressa doesn't need to report it cause its also fun to look at.

    Heh that's nothing compared to what I've had. How about teleporting somewhere, and the collision detection in the ENTIRE AREA is gone, and I fall through the world into an endless loop.

    generally its your video card trying to read corrupted files from when you download the game (thats why you should always verify after download) my GF plays pwi on a desktop comp and we found out when glitches like that happen the cpu usages spikes because the comp is working harder to find the appropriate folder to read and its not server wide or youd have over a thousand posts in here already, and best performance will work because its in a sub folder of the graphics options " not the initial graphics package".

    have you sent this in on a ticket? its a problem that is not universal (not affecting the rest of the players) so if you send this in, hopefully you will get a reply that will help you adjust your PC to fix this.

    my own first suggestion is to 1) first log off, and turn off your PC. then 2)try setting all to their lowest levels, and see how that works, gradually moving the sliders up til the problem happens again, then back down till you are at a point where the game is settled. but this is certainly something to report.

    Good luck!

    Best performance does use a different set of texture files. I'd say it's likely that one of those files is corrupted. Run a disc scan for error and then verify files. Might also defrag while you're at it.
