Particle Issues

(Moved this post from Technical Support to here)

I recently re-installed the game in hopes of checking out the new updates. However, I found that anywhere there are particles (in the environment, when using abilities, on the character model, the circle on the ground around a target, etc.), there appears to be black flickering squares or artifacts surrounding the particles, object, targeting, and even when leveling up.

I had gone in and updated my graphics driver and still am having this issue. Not quite sure where the problem lies.

Thank you!

Are you running the game on a notebook? It doesnt quite work with some mobile versions of graphics chips and some onboard graphics chips.

No, I am playing it on a desktop, although it's not the best with only Intel hd graphics 530 on it. But what I don't understand is that my 6 or 7 year old laptop runs the game just fine. And the desktop has been able to run more graphically demanding games..

Thanks for the reply!

I dont think the game has ever had proper support for integrated chips. Some may run it while others wont. A real graphics card MIGHT fix it. ^^
