Weapons and shields graphics bug.

[XGhastlyNappaX]

Been playing for about an hour or so today, when this randomly happened when I lowered my graphics settings a bit for smoother gameplay. When I go to a new zone there are different colors or images popping up on my weapons and shields. Is there any way I can fix this or do I have to start back over to the last save point before this occurrence?

@XGhastlyNappaX; Hmmmm...

Your rig looks perfectly capable of playing DAO at the highest graphics settings.

I did notice that you have multiple Razer hardware devices showing up:

DirectInput Devices
-------------------
      Device Name: Razer BlackWidow Ultimate
         Attached: 1
    Controller ID: 0x0
Vendor/Product ID: 0x1532, 0x0214
        FF Driver: n/a

      Device Name: Razer Orbweaver
         Attached: 1
    Controller ID: 0x0
Vendor/Product ID: 0x1532, 0x0113
        FF Driver: n/a

      Device Name: Razer Firefly
         Attached: 1
    Controller ID: 0x0
Vendor/Product ID: 0x1532, 0x0C00
        FF Driver: n/a

      Device Name: Razer DeathAdder Chroma
         Attached: 1
    Controller ID: 0x0
Vendor/Product ID: 0x1532, 0x0043
        FF Driver: n/a

The Razer "Synapse" utility application is known to cause problems with some other games, (the Frostbite-based ones) but I haven't heard of any issues with DAO.

I also see "app crash" notices for DA2 and EpicGamesLauncher.exe, (you may want to check those out) but nothing about DAO having had a problem.

What install channel did you use? 

If not the EA/Origin download, I recommend uninstalling your current one and re-installing that one.

If you do have the EA/Origin version, have you tried the "Repair" or "Update" options?

Mods?

DXDiag?

[XGhastlyNappaX]

No mods. Legit game 100%. No cheats or mods or anything.

DXdiag Report?

(See: How to post relevant info when you create a question.)

[XGhastlyNappaX]

Say's nothing was found.

[ThandalNLyman]

You're missing the point.

We need the DXdiag report itself to see if there's a clue to what's causing the unusual behavior you're seeing.

I used Origin, the most recent one because i just downloaded the games the other day again on the new PC.
