    Beneath the map is the item of interest "approach the gate" "Escape the Battle of Solace Bridge". The sparkles drag around beneath my map overlay regardless of where on my screen I move the map.

    Title: Blue sparkles appear on the screen when receiving blue markers from a quest
    Reproduction Rate: 100%
    Blocker?
    Details: When receiving a quest task and a marker is placed on the compass, the players screen will have these blue sparkles on the screen:

    I believe this is related to the markers that are placed on the map (even if there isn't a map) as well as the marker in the compass. When you close the map, these sparkles go away. Bring map back up, the sparkles return. I don't know if this is only effect NVIDIA cards. Would need someone with a different brand to confirm.

    Steps to Reproduce: Use a character quest re-set. Go to Crooked Shank. Note the players screen has no blue sparkles on the screen. Speak to Erno and click help to get his quest task and markers. Move around the screen toward the Mayor. Note the now present blue sparkles on the players screen. Close the map. Observe the blue sparkles are now gone. Open map. Observe the blue sparkles are back. This is 100% repeatable (for me).

    This is still currently happening as of R102. Here is a video:
