Invisible Characters

Hi,

i had an issue where i could not see Marauders ingame. They appeared completely invisible to me and were not attackable. I would only see their Nameplate if they attacked me. Also their horses would stand around empty in the world.

How does the problem present itself:
Spoiler:
  • I sometimes also see their empty Chaos horses standing around.
  • The issue is present in all RvR Zones T1-T4 as well as in SCs.
  • I stopped playing around mid April and started again on 19.06.2020 (i had to download a lot of patches and stuff, so maybe something could have gone wrong there?)
  • This Problem is not a Marauder only problem, the past showed that other people had the same problem but with different classes. Order as well as Destro.

I did the following things to try and fix it:
Spoiler:
  • Relogging
  • Restarting
  • Iogging on different characters
  • Deleting cache folder
  • Repairing game files via launcher
  • When i log on my mid level Marauder he seems to be completely fine, shows all armor, quests, attacks and mounting works
    When i create a new mara he starts naked without showing the starting armor and the Gift of Savagery does not show.
  • When i try to join a Scenario on my Marauder i get put in an endless loading screen. At some point the scoreboard pops up and that's it.
  • Meet up with a Marauder and test stuff
  • Disabling all Addons
  • Relocating entire game folder(worked at first but did only last like 10 minutes)
:!: THE FINAL FIX :!:
Completely downloading a new game version and copying them over my already existing files, logging in on one character, than closing the game and opening it again worked.
What is getting lost by doing this:
Spoiler:
  • Your ingame settings for showing enemy/friendly names etc.
  • Chatsettings(how much log is available to scroll back through, Profanityfilter) Your chat windows and their filters stay.

I have had this issue before. Except mine was both Mara and SH and I had no health markers. I am not sure what caused it but I solved it by downloading a fresh copy from the torrent. Sucks but it worked.

Have you tried disabling addons, like running the basic ui set up if the mara still invi?

simple fix that worked for me: just move the whole game folder to another location. you can move it back afterwards if you like.

That worked at first. But now it happening again after one BG. At first i saw the Marauder completely fine, but than at some pint he did not show up anymore but his dmg increased in the scenario overview. After that i tested with a friend, and i could see his Marauder in open RvR, i could attack him and he could attack me, he mounted up and i saw it. After that i joined another SC. This time with 2 Marauders and i could not see any of them.

I welcome all other ideas.

Updated the stuff i tried

I tried changing directories again, with a repair in between. And no change at all this time. I Join a SC to see if i can see marauders, i see there is one in there but again....invisible, untargetable.

In the end this seemed to have fixed the problem.

If this thread could be let open that would be good, so if it happens again i can further investigate and add to the information i have already gathered.

Try enabling the addons 1 by 1. Maybe one of those could be triggering it.
