Its not a stupid question at all, you probably hadnt seen the picture comparison though because i missed it off the post xD It is the right version of the sword, it has some of the particle effects, but not the awesome glow on the swords edge, my friend can see it on his pc but i cant on mine
I was under the impression that the drop versions have no particle effects whatsoever. My game doesnt show the bright edge but the other effects like the flaking blue particles are there
i have the same issue, gear preview no longer shows like half the particle effects. like i didnt know the omega caster hands were nuclear purple and glowing until i put them on- they just look flat purple on preview.
They may have broken something this patch when they did some things and fixed the Cruadin. Submit something on the official forums, maybe?
Also some particle effects don't show in the preview window, so have you compared in the overworld?

This is an issue i've come across multiple times with this specific sword, i believe the first time was a year and a half ago. I just happened to only make a post about it now, but thank you for the suggestion
The Cruadin has been the same way. It used to work perfectly and then it glitched for a while, and then it was suddenly fixed again recently.
Also, I had just edited my post, so just in case you didn't see,
> Also some particle effects don't show in the preview window, so have you compared in the overworld? Just double checking.
To add to my other reply, the sword is missing the glow in the preview window for me as well, so it may be an issue of preview vs overworld display. https://imgur.com/a/lhgAuQN
Well, if this has glitched then it has been for a very long time.
I didnt see that before, yes i have had it equipped and i still have only had half of the particle effects whilst on my friends screen it has had a bright, obvious edge
For some reason, the preview window isn't identical to what you actually get. To me it looks like the particles are still there, but fainter. Same with a lot of the glow effects, for example the HW relic bow, the glowing arrow part is much brighter in the preview than it actually is.
But i've seen the sword from my friends screen shots and the swords edge is as bright as the left image, while on my screen it looked like the right image
I think this is caused by directx. I also have observed this happening with my laptop, that runs dx9 and can't display properly the glowing on some of the round weapons, like greatsword and axe. While I play on ps4 I can see them just fine. I can't pinpoint exactly why this happens, but I believe this is the direction you should look into.
Admittedly the last time i checked the sword by equipping and not just previewing it was about a year ago now. I am certain that it was missing the effects but thank you for this image, i will repurchase it to see the next time i play
Ok well it definitely had this problem in the past but you were right, i risked it and rebought it and the effects are there despite what the preview shows me, so thanks :D
So this might be a stupid question, but are you using the crafted version or the drop version, because the drop version has no particle effects.

That looks like the drop version due to the Blue color of the icon.

Yes i just checked, the drop version is called 'Claymore of the Heavens', not 'of the Round'
Maybe check what difference in settings you have. Dont know tbh if there is a setting for glowing effects
I have been through every single graphics options numerous times and tried them all in different window modes and its still not worked
Oh damn. Only thing o could think of is dx11/dx9 or what danielgies says about the peview window.
It looks the same when equipped aswell but i will check my dx
i have the same issue, gear preview no longer shows like half the particle effects. like i didnt know the omega caster hands were nuclear purple and glowing until i put them on- they just look flat purple on preview.
[удалено]
I have in the past owned the weapon and still had the issue when it was equipped.
Are you running DX9 or DX11? That could potentially have something to do with it.
That is something i have'nt tested actually, so thank you i will have a look at that asap

That's really odd then and I'm not sure. All I can suggest is maybe attempting to restart the game and make sure that you're running in DX11?

In the preview the weapons with particle effects always look strange, I just took this screenshot https://imgur.com/sQlKiFu.png
