Battle effects not working

[Edged]

I saw a post under "Insufficient Information" about this bug, but I do not have permission to post a reply. So I am posting a new topic on the same bug with sufficient information.

Here is the link to old post:

Just want to point out that the effects did work the first day of early launch than after stopped working. And when I logged in yesterday the effects worked again, but now when i logged in today the effects stopped working. I also am not able to see Sprites mobs / Bubbles and some other abilities Dungeon bosses use. Like lasers type abilities. I'm sure these are all battle effect option related. Oh, and of course i have "Battle Effects Settings" on.

Where did you get that information? I remember seeing it with the beta test benchmark but is there a place i can go to get that info? Id like to at least do my part in trying to get this resolved... ?

Hi,

I've been experiencing the same problem from the start and it looks like I've fixed it so I thought I would let you know in case it helps you too, since we both have AMD graphics cards.

I went into Catalyst Control Centre and clicked on the gamings tab and then 3D application settings. In here I changed the Anti-Aliasing Mode and Anisotropic Filtering modes from override application settings to use application settings.

I can now see the intro movie and other effects that I didn't even realise were misisng :P.

Hope this helps!
