Subject: Minimizing Bug with Weather |
| |
Description:
When you switch between minimized and fullscreen mode, your screen (or possibly go fullscreen, this has not been tested yet), you stop having the ability to see rain. You only see where it lands, and hear it. The only fix seems to be relogging.
This has been noticed on two characters:
THeifeng has:
PowerMac G5 dual-2.3 GHz with MacOS 10.4.5, an ATI Radeon 9600 and 1 Gb RAM
CrazedMage has:
PowerMac G5 single-1.8 GHz with MacOS 10.4.5, a GeForce FX 5200 and 1.25 Gb RAM
Both are on the Public PvE Test Realms.
Edits:
This has also been tested with other characters:
Player 1:
Is not a Mac user, and had the rain disappear, and messed-up graphics, and black flashes when he went in minimized mode.[ post edited by Heifeng ]

Thanks for the report. We too discovered this effect on the rain graphics. To our understanding it affects either Mac or PC clients in OpenGL mode, and is probably not a driver bug as it happens on both major brands of GPU.
We also discovered that if you wait out the storm, the next one that comes along works OK; it seems the failure mode is triggered if you hop from windowed to full screen or vice versa during a rain storm. Of course this is a lot easier to ascertain in the lab where we can ask for rain to start and stop at will..
Any other comments or observations on this are welcome.

This bug was found and fixed a few minutes ago. The bug will still be in the next PTR release, since it was built before the fix, but should be cleared up after that.
It affected both Mac and Windows clients in OpenGL mode.
