Blocks of White?!

OK recently i have been farming with my 55 monk and have noticed that when i get hit or sometimes when i hit enermys a big White Block appears and will only go if a zone out. The Block is normally the size of an average HCP and just stays there.

My video card is a Integrated Intel® Graphic Media Accelerator X3100

So is this a corrupted .dat file or the game.
Will i need to reinstall the whole game or run the -image thing??
Has this happened to any one else.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Random blocks sounds like a image problem. try runnign the immage function, or if that doesnt work... then dl the dat file overnight.

Just out of curiosity... what is a HCP?

this isnt going to help the OP sorry, but i dont know either, so please enlighten us both

thanks

so what do you reckon the problem is and how to solve it? (if the image function thing is the way how do you do it and how long does it last?)

The image function dowlnoads the entire game (including the ones you do not have). This means it will be downloading so long untill your file is about 5-6GB large at the moment.

If your game is new and you do not have much downloaded you might as well delete the gw.dat file and use the image function to download the entire game form scratch.

This has the added bonus for you that you will never have to download an area you have never been to while mapping again.

Id sugest you do it overnight durign hours when the internet isnt needed at all.

hmmm well i think i will see if the game fixes it self first if not then i will just delete the GW file and uninstall it and reinstall the disks.

before you go crazy uninstalling, try adjusting your in-game graphics settings and see what happens. also it might be a good idea to see if it(FXcard) needs/has driver updates.

that card is in a lappy, right?....it might just be overheating as well.

ok well i think this happened once before and it fixed itself with the next update so i will see what happens and check if i need any driver updates on my laptop.
Thnx for the help and an admin can close thins now if they please.

Theres no need to install from the disks. All you need is the client and your login information.

To do teh image make a copy of your GW icon (the one you doubleclick to start the game) and remane it to somethign like "GW image" (you can rename it to whatever you like, but this is the most obvious). Rightclick on the image file and select properties. Go to the field where it lists where you installed the game and add " -image" at the end (without the brackents and with the space). Then just save the changes

Doubleclick the Image icon and it will automatically update the game and will close as soon as it is up to date.
