RSram✭✭✭✭✭I put in three bug requests since beta about the missing textures. There is nothing wrong with your client; It's just a visual indication used by the developers to quickly see which geometry has textures and which doesn't. So in this case the squares do not have textures assigned to them. It doesn't affect game play and there is nothing you can do about, but just look away.1 -
j4k3s7a✭✭Might be a corrupted install or something. Try running C:\Program Files (x86)\Zenimax Online\Launcher\GameConsultant.exe I think it's a repair utility
Edit: Just finished running for me (took ~3 mins). It's not a repair utility, but may be able to tell you if you have any corrupted files. It was just a configuration output for me (IP settings, antivirus, drivers, etc...)Edited by j4k3s7a on August 14, 2014 3:02AM0 -

Cyberdown✭✭✭that's what they use in the development process for things that need a texture added to it.
now the question is, do you have a corrupted texture where its loading that by default since it cant find the actual texture file...or is that something someone forgot to add artwork to.0 -

Just three on the missing textures in front of the cave; since April, I have been playing almost every day, logging in about 1500 hours of play time. I average about a one bug report every 30-40 hours. You do the math:)
Repairing the client didn't work for me, and the bug reports were a month apart for this issue because I was playing 3 different characters.

zgrssd✭✭✭✭It's the games way of saying "something went wrong when loading this texture".
99% it just "sorry, your computer did not game the game the file in time or it gave a corrupted file". Especialyl if it does not persist for the same items, the issue is plain on your end.
/reloadui can sometimes fix it.
You should do a repair scan of the game at earliest convenience. If that does not help propably the loading of the textures timed out. This indicates a very high load on your disk at the wrong time.
Make sure you have some space on the disk, no other programms are running and put the eso.exe on the exclusion list of your virus scanner.
Maybe lower the texture quality to be save (the smaller the texture, the easier to load and process it.Edited by zgrssd on August 15, 2014 7:47AMElana Peterson (EU), Dominion, Imperial Sorc, Rune & Alchemy Crafting Char

✭Having a bright red box to flag a non-fatal error in a finished product is a terrible decision. It simply screams "beta, please debug". I have been getting these boxes a lot, at irregular intervals, ever since beta, and they keep cropping up.3 -
KitLightning✭✭✭✭Your build may not be parsed correctly or this is actually a missing object. Either way that's a dummy set in place of a missing object within the build. Usually if the textures are absent, you would have been presented with a claymodel of the object.
Are you able to give the exact location of the said issue?"I'd rather be insane in a sane world, than sane in an insane world!" ~MeWarning - This is a spoiler and looking at it for too long may cause irrecoverable eyesight issues.

I actually think it's kinda brilliant as it's guaranteed to get noticed.
That is to say, there's no Missing it. (Ahem...)
I haven't seen one of these in a long time though.

Saying there's nothing wrong with the OP's client is an overly simplistic view of what the "Missing" boxes actually mean. It is actually an issue with his client, because I guarantee that other players weren't seeing the missing textures. It is a problem that is generally fixed by relogging, but it's still an issue with the OP's client. Which, before everyone goes insane, is not an assignation of blame. This is a statement of fact.----

✭Played the ESO beta on a 2008 MacBook Pro that barely ran the game at all on ultra-low settings, with a lot of stuttering and screen loading messages.
Never saw boxes like that though.

PSLAnimal✭✭✭✭You just find a missing khajit in a box. Grats!
But it's Schrodinger's Khajit, so it has the potential to be both alive and dead until you open the box and collapse the wave-form.Animal (Ask me what the PSL stands for. Go on. Ask.)

ZOS_AmeliaR✭✭✭✭✭Typically "missing" boxes appear when graphics haven't loaded properly. If the boxes aren't bothering you or you're not seeing them too often, feel free to giggle at them (and take screenshots, as you've done already
) and move on. If you'd like to see what should be there, or if you're seeing a fair number of these boxes, using the /reloadui command may allow the graphics to properly load.
If /reloadui doesn't help, turning off the grass may (Settings > Video > Grass off). Keep in mind that if your graphics are running at a higher setting than is recommended for your computer's specs, you will see issues like the missing boxes, falling through stairs, and getting trapped in rocks.2 -

I love the falling through stairs one. It is my favorite. The first time i encountered it i was baffled. I whispered someone, 'how did you get up there'. And they were like , 'i just walked'. I was all like, 'thanks smart ass!' And he was all like 'take the stairs dumbo!' I was all like, 'what stairs? Dur dur'. And he was all like, 'the stairs your head is sitting on'
Anywho the laugh riot went on for hours, i still enjoy missing stairs.

Its not missing textures actually; the textures are there on your client. Its ***-poor coding in the rendering system that occasionally does not load a texture, it gets skipped. I know this because I have two accounts, and when one of us sees the 'missing box' the other one does not, they see the item itself. I have found that a /reloadui command or logging out/in or changing instances will fix it.maybe this has been talked about before and maybe this is the wrong category, but

Are you playing on identical computers?
The rendering system is having issues communicating with the client, which tends to happen when you have your graphical settings turned up too high. It's not a server-side issue.----
