Character creation borked after patch!

Didn't see this posted. If so.. then ignore.

After downloading the patch I decided to make a new character and when I get to the costume customization screen I found that there is no animation and you cannot see weapons or shields to customize them. There is also no animation on the character select screen. The blank figure on the body type selection screen animates fine. Wasn't this a bug on test?

How am I to create my character now if I can't see my weapon?!

Known bug. Determined to not be a showstopper, but supposedly high priority for a fix.

It needs to be since it's the first thing new people see. Is it the same at the tailor or will I be able to fix it there?

yeah I hope this gets fixed, today's patch messed up my character creation too.

Here's BaB's post on this bug:

Just a head's up, we've verified this issue in this particular incremental build. Not sure what's caused it, as we can't even replicate with the latest code/assets, but the programmers are looking into it.

Right now, it appears to be purely cosmetic, and only affects characters in the costume creator/tailor screen. So we're considering it a non-critical, but high priority bug. If anyone knows of any similar effects outside of those areas, please let us know as soon as possible.

IMO the fact that they don't know what's causing it makes it a critical bug, come on now. Can't even see what auras look like because of this.

I swear I imagine their offices being a bunch of floppy disks strewn all over the floor with magic marker labels.

Thanks for the link. I hadn't seen that. I still think it should be more than non-critical. As I said earlier the CC is the first thing a new person see and one of the main hooks of the game. If it doesn't work right what kind of impression is that going to make? And that's not to mention the influence you'll have to waste popping into the tailor to make changes then out to see if they look right then back in to guess again if they don't.

Don't forget all the empty Krispy Kreme donut boxes, half full coffee mugs and empty soda cans...

Word on that.

I discovered a workaround for the CC Bug. On the CC screen switching from colors to scales allows the animations to display correctly and draws weapons and shields. Switching back to colors causes it to revert back to the non-animated character view. So switching back and forth between the two allows you to view the color changes you've made for weapons and/or shields.

Try selecting the "Scales" portion instead of Colors, that made my animations work

dangit, beat me by seconds!

Twice!
