I have the same issue with black boxes under some spell effects! It looks like alpha-channel (transparency) is not processed properly in spell shaders and black color is mapped on the texture instead. I have AMD RX 580 video card installed; tried DirectX 12, 11 and legacy 11, but it didn’t resolve the issue. Dear developers, please check the things you have changed in the last patch and fix the isuue. Thank you.
Issue example near the Bazual world boss:

The issue appeared first time with the patch 10.0.5.47799
SOme stuff is actually unplayable because of that bug. In random BGs for example every player has a black box under them instead of shadows. This is really annoying. And Bosses or some spells like Spear of Bastion create big boxes in white or black.
I use Nvidia 3070
I have the same issue, thought it was a linux problem.

Same issue, trying to run VOTI every floor effect is a black hole, dying because i cant see animation
I have the exact same problem. I’m running the game under linux. I updated the graphic drivers (Nvidia 525) and the runner but with no result.
having same issue , 1050ti, Win7
I also have Win7, and the video drivers are kind of not updated for this OS for a long time. May be Win7 is a common thing among us? Though, several guys experiencing the problem claimed they have Linux installed.
PS. It seems to be more general texture problem, as I do not see (for example) fire meteorite spots in the Kurog boss fight at all, but do not see these black squares at such zones either.
Yes I have Windows 7 too, with Nvidia 3080TI. So drivers are the latest ones but not exactly “new”.
I tried the latest Win7 x64 AMD video drivers 21.5.2 as well as a bit outdated 21.3.1 drivers - the problem still persists.
Im on linux and rtx 2070, seems like its a win 7/ linux problem
Same issue here, depending on shadow quality settings. I wish we can simply to disable shadows. (win7 zealot as well)
update: increasing shadow quality does not solve black boxes in dungeons, and other combat encounters.

If you change the shadow setting to fair it gets rid of the NPC and player boxes. Sadly there are still boxes around environment effects and explosion and magic effects. I also have had NPCs floating toward me and not walking. The thing is such a mess I sense it could be a game breaker.

Getting the same thing, Fair graphics fixes it for characters but its still bad for certain spell effects. Makes some parts of the game near unplayable.
Updated my graphics drivers. Win7 Nvidia card.

will add a data point that yes none of the user proposed fixes work so far. and same issue is reported on US forums too.
If anyone wants to test if they have the issue without running a boss, you can go to Algeth’ar Academy. There is a blue fire in the dungeon at first platform that shows the bug clearly even out of combat.

This. Couldnt say it better. Also Win7 here.
Same behaviour as the screenshots when i change shadow from low to fair. But the worldboss still was showing everywhere black boxes again. Just disable shadow completely please.
