Hi i'm new to the forums and i've been playing gw for some time now i have a w/mo level 20 and i wanted to create a new character i chose the ranger and happy of the way he looks as soon as i go outside ascalon to do the ranger test i notice whenever my ranger fires an arrow the hair sticks into the head its pretty annoying and i don't know what causes this problem i posted this in many forums but i didn't recieve any answer to solve it

ranger hair bug
Crimson Icarus
Crimson Icarus
anybody!!??
Narada
I may be missing something, but it doesn't look like there's anything wrong to me.
Kwisatz_Haderach
Have you tried looking at from the other side?
Crimson Icarus
yes i did look from the other side its only on the side of the pics the other side is fine its kinda weird and annoying...
bizarresk
dude, its absolutely normal, i dont see one problem on those screens.. stop being a i dunno what they call it and play the game.
Crimson Icarus
wait wait are you guys blind? you don't see the huge hole in the head!!??
pkodyssey
Maybe his "hair flap" got loose. LOL. I personally like the frog floating above the box , under the small tent next to the storage agent in "Gates of Kryta" This game is filled with so many graphic errors it is sad.

Crimson Icarus: I'm guessing you probably have corrupted files. Unfortunately the only way I know of fixing that is to first uninstall Guild Wars, delete the program files/guildwars directory, then reinstall the game. That will give you new & fresh files, but unfortunately it also means downloading all patches again.
Music Baby
yeah, try to re-install your game. and make sure u have the latest video card driver.
Paul_Bunyan
I doubt very much that has anything to do with corrupted files. It's a graphical error in which his card/drivers/game are not calculating the geometry correctly. Too bad there's no console in GW to adjust stuff like that (like in most FPS's)...New video card drivers might fix it, though. What video card do you have?
But yeah, GW is full of minor graphical errors for many users.
Try it with a different hair-style, probably wouldn't do it...maybe, heh.

i have the latest drivers for my ati x850xt and i did reinstall but i'm glad you guys finaly did the see the bug because bizarresk dude, its absolutely normal, i dont see one problem on those screens.. stop being a i dunno what they call it and play the game. needs glasses so i think that its just a bug from the game and meh screw it

To me it looks like it could be a tuft of fur with a cord wrapped around the bottom (as long as I am looking at the right thing). Other than that I cannot see a hole in the head (Zach de la Rocha should have never left RATM)
Paul_Bunyan
I really don't like the latest Radeon drivers for the X800 series, they seem to cause more problems than they fixed, and even seem a bit more sluggish. If you can find the driver build made a few months back, like 6-8 months ago, can't remember the version, but I'd try that.
If not then you can just pretend it's a battle scar :P

It's not a "bug" or a "glitch" or a driver/display problem. It's common in EVERY game, it simple geometry clipping.
Because they have so many different head types, hair types & animations it's difficult (and unrealistic) to get them to all work together perfectly. In this case, the hair gets pushed though the scalp during the animation, and you can see the scalp come through. oops, oh well.
Try Doing the cheer animation with the female ranger, the shoulder stretches horribly. Better vertex weighting may have fixed that, but all things considered they did a great job.
As far as "This game is filled with so many graphic errors it is sad." I thing you need to play more games... Compared to most, this is a shining pillar of excellence.

Narada
Oh crap, I just noticed that bald-spot looking thing! Is that what you were talking about?
Paul_Bunyan
Umm, geometry clipping IS a bug/glitch. And the extent and existance of it is dependent upon the game and video card you have. It's not universally the same even on the same games. But you're right, few games have been able to really overcome the geometry problems, and there are much worse, yes.
Crimson Icarus
that's exactly what i was talking about lol its really annoying because its like that with all the hair and i really want to create a ranger...

Although a closer image would've been helpful; it is hard to see anything at the distance in the screenshots.

Crimson Icarus
so what do you guys suggest? shall i just forget about creating a male ranger or what i'm pretty clueless some didn't even see the bug in the pics some say its the game and others my files are corrupt i really don't know what to do or think
Epinephrine
Your ranger will work fine, even if his scalp shows occasionally. It shouldn't affect his bow skills or survival abilities in the slightest. Feel free to play him through.

Crimson Icarus
i tried playing with the skin color height face nothing still the same problem...
Darksun
I don't know myself, but I'm willing to bet it happens on other or ALL machines.. I will test it out.. Icarus, if you can post a close ss of the head & hair I will try it on my machine.
The other thing to note is that depending on the distance from the camera, the model will be using a different LOD. The smaller the LOD the higher chance of clipping & other issues.

Crimson Icarus

Numa Pompilius
He's got elf-ears! 
Seriously, I've never seen that with any of my avatars.

lol so darksun can you share the results of your experience with us??
Darksun
nope, it works fine for me?? that is very weird.. My theory as to why it happen does not apply here..
Detis Zan
Erm.. this should be the LEAST of your worries..
Mostly everyone didn't even noticed it until you got a closer head shot..
Most of the time when your gaming you're not going to be that close to your character to gaze at =P Odd it is but a real issue it is not.
Hey at least you're different from all the other rangers =)

gonna guess it's your graphics card
Baratus
Doesn't happen with that hair combo on my end either. Not to start a flame-war, but it's little things like this that have kept me from ATI, even though they had faster cores.
Crimson Icarus
my graphic card is fine all the other games run perfect such as half-life 2 css battlefield 2 black and white 2 that are much more demanding than guild wars so i don't think its my graphic card but maybe the 5.11 catalyst driver dunno
devilru
make a female instead?
Manic Smile
just because all other games run doesn't mean anything...it's not the power of your card it could be your driver coding...you ever heard of Omega Drivers? I can't standt ATI's normal ones. Anyway I wasn't trying to be insulting but if you're the only one with the problem it's not the game. 10 to 1 it's your video card driver. If not then I'd say the video card itself...if I'm still wrong I'll eat my words happily.

Sir Hadies
well to me i see no prob dude take a screen shot from the outher side you know cuz how the hand and arrow are so close to the face cuz he is aiming now if you can take a pic of the side then you will see.
Crimson Icarus
if you don't see anything i'm sorry you have a problem because all the others did so... look where the ear should be and you will notice something anyway i don't care i just created an ele
