What Nvidia graphics card are you using? Only DirectX 9 ones or something will show it.

Why do my bosses glow with post-processing disabled?

I'm pretty sure that support ticket is wrong and that it's tied purely into DirectX.

I have the same problem: While my card does not support DirectX 9, I know the effect is possible. In PvP matches, 'allies' glow, just like they should. Does anyone have an idea on how to reproduce this effect on bosses?

It is post-process effect. I just turned mine off to check.

wow, first time i saw a boss glow, i think to myself... is my videocard broken because nothing has glow in the game before. Than after looking at the forum, i finally got the answer! boss suppose to glow and that the color represent different element for them.

which card model number is it?

and does it say direct x 9 COMPLIANT or merely COMPATABLE

some of nvidias cards were budget cards made without the pixil and vertex shader features you need for the glow (example any of the 4 series mx cards)
