A few people mentioned it on #gwp, but I didnt see a post anywhere about it yet, so figured i'd make one.
Anyone else getting the flickering blue bar(i'm guessing XP toolbar) coming at the bottom of GW window?
Just started with todays update. Never seen anything like it before.

i get it too, if u change ur resolution to sumting else than back to original it seems to get rid of it, but its pretty dang annoying.
The Great Al
thank you! Yes, I am experiencing this too...for the first time. have a 1440x900 resolution
j_unit66
1440x900 also, patch must of caused a problem with that setting....
The Great Al
changing the resolution and changing it back seems to help for a while, but this should still be an outstanding bug IMO, if it doesn't get fixed within the next few days. I hope Anet is aware of it.

I run this resolution as well and I do not experience the flickering bar.
What graphics card and driver version do you have?

I messed around with this some more last night.
Problem is with Small interface size.
A work-around is to change resolution and then hit revert.
Don't tab out to windows though or you'll have to repeat the process.
Also, if a mod could maybe move this to the bug forum, would be good.

Mine is white/yellow flickering in the last line of pixels (button) of the screen, only with Small interface (option I always use and will always use)
Sometimes I see a line in top of the screen too in loadings.

I get it with the large interface screen. My resolution 1440X900 and it only happens at the bottom of the screen.

My res is 1024x768 and I get the flicker on the last line of pixels only. It will go away sometimes when I port to certain towns. I never had this issue until yesterday with the new update.

i also have it, it doesnt like alt tabbing or programs in the background that are visible on the taskbar.
axe
Yeah I get the same thing on Windows 2000 so its not just an XP thing
The Great Al
This should probably be moved to the bugs section...this section would imply that there is something that we could do about it...but seeing as though I've played GW for almost two years, up to yesterday afternoon, with no problems, and then post-update the last line of pixels is screwed up, would imply that it's not our faults. Changing the res does seem to be a temporary fix, and sometimes it just goes away on its own, but I like minimizing once in a while, and it's just an unnecessary inconvenience.

yeah ive got this same issue. I run 1900x1200 on a 24 inch dell. I use the small interface and i get the flicker, switch to normal size interface and its gone. But i dont like the normal size! Guess it will do for now until its fixed hopefully.

i am experiencing exactly the same problems ... but it seems not to be resolution related as i am running on a 1024 x 768 , well at least its not only happening under 1440 x 900 .
I hope this gets fixed ... its god damn annoying .

Yep. happens when I alt+tab to windows and back - changing the interface size, or zoning fix it... but it's quite annoying.
The Great Al
everyone else have nVidias then?
Isil`Zha
yep.........
eggrolls
im getting it on 1024x768. using a 7600gt with newest drivers. i can only fix it by changing the resolution to something else and back <_<
Omega X
God I hate that bug. What did they change to cause that...
It seems to go away after zoning a couple of times though.

then it seems to be a nVidia compatibility issue..argh.
Heimdallw32
Yep, I'm on a 6600GT, drivers up to date, same issue at 1024x768, small interface size (normal takes up too much screen real estate)...goes away if I swap resolutions or swap refresh rates, but comes back if I alt-tab or minimize, or warp, or zone.
Something with the update must have borked the compatibility with Nvidia drivers. >_> Or that'd be my guess, at least. Not that I would know, just seems that way.

j_unit66
also have an nvidia 7900 gs, will check drivers later
Heimdallw32
Problem is gone completly at Normal interface size. They probably borked the small size when they were fixing an earlier glitch they accidentally introduced. >_>
attackofthecold
Yeah probably, yesterday night i tryed GW with my ATI radeon 9200PRO, small interface, and it still had the flickering bar. So at least we know it isn't limited to nvidia cards.
The Great Al
Can this PLEASE be moved to the bug forum...

Got the same problem since Update - Thursday April 5.
On 2 different pc's with GeForce 7600GT and 8800GTS.
Thin line at the bottom of the screen with different colors, and on top of the screen when loading.
I tried to test it with different whql driver versions, but none of them seemed to solve the problem (used dcp in safe mode before installing new driver)

No flickering bar that's valid for my laptop's GeForce Go 6600 and the PC's intel GMA900.
EDIT: laptop resolution: 1280x800, PC:1024x768

had it too since the big good friday update. 1024x768 res, small interface, ati x200m here.
flickers at the bottom of the screen showing the xp toolbar beneath. when zoning, i get broken white lines across the top of my screen while the screen displays this artwork of the map youre zoning into.
very annoying, among other things that update introduced.

Have it as well, at 1280x800, gf 7900 gtx sli win xp, newest driver for xp.
Happen as soon as I log in, character selection screen, in game. I fixed it by switching the icon interface from small to large, then switch back to small.
But as soon as I zone the damn thing start to flick again :P

It has to do with the interface size , try to change it to normal until they fix this (well I hope they will X°D ).
