Since the patch on the first went through, everyone appears to be wearing white armor. Additionally, most people seem to be wearing hoods, even if they’re in heavy armor. If they don’t have any headgear on, their heads are a solid black color.
Has anyone else had this issue? I’m trying to determine if the problem is with my hardware, a corrupted patch, or if I’ve hit a genuine glitch.
Correction: Apparently this only occurs with people wearing medium armor.
Didn’t you notice that everyone has the same armor (every race different, but okay).
That’s because, if someone’s armor has not yet been loaded, you see the Default armor, which has no/a really crappy texture.
I take it back, it is affecting everyone, but certain items are unaffected. The person highlighted below is a necromancer. Their Fervid Censer shows up just fine, but everything else is glitched. Additionally, the outfits and body types displayed are not accurate. I ran part of TA yesterday with a guildie, and her female norn ranger looked like a tale male human. Unfortunately, I didn’t screen cap it.
@Revolt: No, I didn’t at first, but yes they are wearing all the same armor. I thought that this was maybe a lag issue, but my lag and frame rate isn’t that bad. Also, it happens everywhere I go and the character textures never change.
IDK what’s going on, hopefully you guys can give me a couple of ideas for a fix or work around. I’m gonna go crawl through my settings. I’ll check back in a couple of minutes.
Thanks friend! I haven’t been on in almost two months, and during that time my wife let her friend make a toon to try out GW2. Apparently, she set all the graphic settings to their minimum. I boosted character model quality up one and now everyone is rendered in all their colorful glory.
Moral of the story: Never let your wife have your login info.
