Elder item background animation missing

Hello there.

1) If you don't see any of the 2 influences, that's most probably because you haven't got far enough in the endgame quest line, because until you reach a certain quest status, both shaper and elder influences aren't on the atlas yet.
Also, shaper|elder influences can also pop in undiscovered regions of the atlas, in which case you won't see them.

2) Are you sure you don't mix up elder and abyss items ?
Abyss items (stygian vises belts, and a few uniques) have abyss jewels on them, but they have nothing to do with elder items.

Please quote me if you ever answer this, thanks in advance.

This is how it looks like. Most of the upper corner maps are under elder influence, but there is no background animation showing it. Besides, as you can see there is no elder background on the item either. Strangely, shaper items appear normal, same with the abyss belt.
I am at the memory eater quest and so far I have collected 3 shaper orbs. At this stage influence areas should be visible.
Most of the atlas is unlocked 136/158.

Hello again.
Thanks for the answer, i think i understand now, but i must confess a visual of the problem would definitely help.
Now, i'll assume the last thing written at the end of your last 2 posts are failed screenshots links, and i was unable to do anything with that.
Anyway, the whole thing sounds ressource-related.
Running PackCheck.exe, located in your POE install folder, would be a good start.

Thanks for the link update.
The infos you provided are actually useful.
If packcheck doesnt find any problem, that means the data on your disk is fine.
If the data on your disk is fine, that means the problem most probably comes from the function that displays it (or a RAM issue, but that's unlikely).
Furthermore, if everything's fine under win10, that confirms that the faulty code is a system code.
In other words, a display function is wrong on your system, somewhere.
Now, i don't know precisely which system functions POE uses, but i guess looking into your display drivers, or directx stuff, might be relevant.
I would try updating|repairing|reinstalling one of those if i were you, but i'm not you (if you know what i mean).

Oh, and important question, do you have that bug since Elder items were added in the game, or was it working correctly before ?

EDIT

Oh, and also, first try switching from DX11 to DX9 (or the opposite) in POE options, that could directly allow to tell if DX is involved, in case the bug goes away.
