Not going to bring it up again for it has been stated many times on the forums, however something peculiar happened that maybe more knowledgeable people than I can find useful.
I run the native linux client and cannot do the whole force vulcan thing or run the windows version due to an ageing GPU. That being said I have the whole missing transparent map/no glyph graphics/n color in hp/mana thing and have been playing without for a long time.
However, I was in the Soulfire Bastion and died at the same time the boss did and when I respawned all the graphical errors were resolved. Needless to say i was surprised and quite pleased… until i logged out and back in… the graphics were missing again. I have not had it resolve anymore so hopefully this info can be helpful to maybe find a workaround or fix in the future.
Thank you all for your hard work for making a game I can thoroughly enjoy even when I cant see my way around half the time.
