Issue Description:
It seems as though character portraits are generated at runtime and cached for the session. Sometimes these portraits come out looking very bizarre—as if they’re being generated using either strange lighting conditions or a low-quality LOD of the character’s model—resulting in a very bad-looking portrait.
Steps to Reproduce:
Issue seems to occur randomly on startup, and can sometimes be visible on the Change Operative screen or in-game.
Visiting the barber in the hub and making any change will regenerate the portrait under (seemingly) correct conditions.
Platform:
Steam
Approx. Time of Issue & Timezone:
11/25/2022, 10:50 EST
Reproduction Rate:
Common
Upload Supporting Evidence:
Here is a new character that was just edited at the barber, generating (what I believe is) the correct portrait.
Upon relogging, the incorrect portrait is shown at both the operative screen:
and in-game:
Here’s a zoom on the correct-seeming portrait:
Here’s a zoom on the weird one:
Same exact character, no changes, but the first image is after visiting the barber and the second image is after quitting/restarting the game.
Upload Console Log:
(You know, I don’t think the step-by-step guide in this section is actually going to work for most people, I get a powershell error when I follow it.)
The only things that really stand out to me from the logs are this from the main menu startup:
