Footprint Error
Mantra Kase
I have an unexpected problem with my graphics setting whilst playing guild wars. My footprints only appear in small outposts etc, whilst in explorable areas they just appear as great big yellow rectangles on the floor. It annoy's me sooo much. I run guild wars on my laptop using windows vista and this is the only problem i have had with it. Any ideas??

It is probably an error in the gw.dat file. You can try several things.
- it may clear up by itself after a while
- you can edit the "target" line in your GW shortcut to add "-repair" (remove it afterwards)
- you can edit the target line to add "-image" - this will take a looong time to finish, so run it while you're at work/school/sleep. (remove it afterwards)
If you don't have a GW shortcut, in Vista, go to the "start" bubble >> games - and right-click on the GW icon. Choose "Send To">> Desktop (create shortcut)
Right-click on the desktop shortcut and choose "properties". Edit the "target" line as above so it looks like:
"C:\\program files\guild wars\gw.exe" -image (or -repair)
Note that the -image is outside the quotes.

Thanks for the help, I reinstalled and it seemed to work in most explorable areas.
