Odd Looking Avatar durring the login screen and the tailor screen

[ikers494]

Ever since this new patch my avatar graphically looks horrible at the login screen and the tailor screen when i am changing his appearance. It goes away the instance i log in or when i exit the tailor instance. This problem has not happened to me before the patch so i am wondering whats wrong. My computer or the new patch

I would guess it's the patch. Can you post a screenshot of what it looks like when it's terrible?

I get the same thing now and when I click accept while tailoring game freezes and crashes to windows

Same here, bt before patch as well. I can fix it by running in windowed mode, and resizing a few times. Annoying, but does work for me.

I've had the same problem - it only happens after pirates has been running for several hours and im switching between characters.

I'll take a screenshot next time.

I had the same thing in open beta once. So it also happened before this patch, maybe less frequent though.

Or i hope so for me at least. I guess the fix to the issue is to be active in the forums

Same here, but also in beta. I think. Depends on what you are experiencing.

It crops up for me when I switch characters after playing for a while. Still happens on rare occasion.

The character only looks distorted on the server select screen, and at the tailor's.

Does your character look like he/she has become some sort of zombie? The eyes are kind of pink and featureless - a little unsettling actually, altho' not as bad as when they exit a building and you see their squished up insides. I have no experience with 3-d but I'm guessing the textures become distorted?

Anyway, yes, same thing here. Sorry, no screenshot. It's a minor thing so never bothered. Next time it happens I'll take a shot.

Sadly no this has been around since OB and has been bug reported. The Avatars textures fail to apply properly .. its easy enough to bypass by simply restarting the program which will fix it, but it will come back eventually. I cant seem to consistently recreate it though .. just happens sometimes.
