Have not logged in a couple of weeks, and when I did I could not see my characters at login screen, I can see the UI selection of characters, other than that it was a gray misty background, I could login to my toon in Ahgram, but there I could not see the character and many of the textures/meshes were missing. Able to walk around and use UI, but cannot see most, see some parts of buildings. No ground just a gray mist. Tried a couple other characters with similiar results. Did a lot of troubleshooting, and gave in. Backed up my stuff, and deleted vangaurd and reinstalled. Without adding any changes such as custom UI, and user.ini, so with the default install I logged in. Everything looked fine. It looks all good, until I change render to Highest setting, something I have always done in the past. And bam the grey clouds are back and the character selected disappears from character select screen. I can set all settings in video to maxium or minimum, but once I change the render above Balanced it loses everything. Nothing in my system has changed, no new software.... very confused at this point.
Try turning Anit-Aliasing in your video card settings to OFF. Something about VG doesn't agree with AA when the quality setting is higher than balanced on some cards.
Well that solved the problem. Not sure why I did not have the problem before, so thank you. And who would have thought AA could cause such a bizarre affect. Thank you.
probably have that new morphological filtering anti aliassing forced in your ati/nvidia driver. if this is the case turn it to use application settings . some other settings in ini file cause the same effect, but since u didnt touch those its unlikely
