Dragon Lord question

Is there a setting or checkbox to get rid of the glowing square? Just started playing a dwarf DL and it's a pain in the tuckus to see a silver key on the ground.

No option to turn it off, it's probably something in the graphics settings that make it the bugged out square.

Normally, it is a circular aura, which then changes color based on element choice in the Dragon enhancement tree. Definitely a graphical bug.

I'm getting a very bright white, very square area. It covers all Rems, keys, etc. Have to use Bcksp to find items because it makes the change of the cursor very hard to see as well. Toon is a Dwarf. Haff on Thelanis.

I had this exact problem, and found that my DirectX setting under Options was set to DirectX9. I changed the setting to DirectX10 and DirectX11, and the big, bright glowy square the size of a puzzle tile that completely blocked my view went away. So try changing your DirectX setting in Options and restart the client.

My DiectX setting was greyed out, so I had to reset my adapter through the login settings. DirectX11 fixed the problem. Thanks a bunch.
This should make the pillar jumping in Down You Go much less aggravating.

I agree and HATE the circle on the ground, there should be a check box in the DDO Options to turn that off. This is also one of the reasons I don't play Alchemists as the circle is just plan anoying.

Glad that fixed it for you, too! And yes, jumping and puzzles are much easier without that bright square "tile" around your feet instead of the aura/circles.
