Is Grahtwood's landscape buggy?

There seems to be an issue with the graphics, particularly outside the huge tree in Grahtwood where if you raise your mouse cursor toward the sky, the foreground and most of the buildings and landscape disappears, leaving NPCs walking around on thin air. My husband had the same issue on his and one other guildie. Ive updated my video drivers, and relaunched many times and its still a problem. I even removed all the add-ons and its still glitchy. Im surprised i havent heard anything about it in the forums. I have done all the quests in that area and had two left and it worked fine up until about a week ago. Anyone else having foregrounds and landscapes dissappearing depending on which direction you are pointing your mouse cursor?

    I had this issue briefly, but I wasn't able to isolate a cause. It was in a different area than you mention; looking at certain angles caused all the objects on the landscape to disappear. I never noticed it again however.

    Sounds like a Driver issue.

    I'm in Grahtwood right now and I don't have this problem. I don't remember seeing it before either.

    Here is a screenshot of my toon outside the giant tree near the stables in Grahtwood. This is what i mean about missing graphics.

    the driver i was using didnt have issues, but then last week it all started, so i did update my drivers and its still happening. It is the same for my husband on his computer and a guildie as well. I might try another driver too, though if it were a driver issue, it would be happening all over tamriel and i been playing for ages in Daggerfall and also Ebanheart and this issue isnt happening anywhere. I go and log in to Grahtwood, and there is the issue once again. Hmmm

    Yeah, I had this issue, but then in the middle of the forest. Here, two images taken at the exact same place, but one with the mouse pointed slightly down, the other slightly up.

    Yes, it was happening to me west side of the Grahtwood forest as well that made doing questing near impossible due to not being able to move around on the landscape and hitting invisible walls. This is exactly what i am getting too!!! One other issue both my husband and i did see also was the ocean turning black in color, but only in a certain section of Grahtwood about 4 days ago when we played briefly.

    Thank you for posting, this just verifies that others are also having this issue. By the life of me, i can't figure out why its happening. The other areas i am questing on the other factions are not having any graphical issue whatsoever, only Grahtwood. I hope the Devs take notice and look into it just the same.

    I ran into this in near the Bone Orchard of Grahtwood. Has not been resolved. This hasn't occurred in any other areas of the game.

    Please fix!

    It is not a driver issue. It is an environment issue. Definitely server side. I ran into this last night and still was able to run into walls, rocks etc. I submitted tickets and hope that everyone here did the same especially since this was like this weeks ago at launch.

    Encountered this issue too near Elden Root, the trees completely disappear at a certain angle.

    yep, it still happening to me too around different areas in Grahtwood. It is the only location i have encountered this problem. I submitted several bug reports and yet, that was weeks ago and its still happening.

    Not had that, I have had people disappear/reappear and the odd building in the middle distance disappear.

    I'm guessing that the game redraws them/stops drawing them to save memory. And it appears to be all maps for me, not just Grahtwood.

    But as I say I've not had it that bad.
