Now this is one really weird bug...

I decided to go to Bloody Bay to hunt some masks for a badge. when I got to the helicopter, I couldn't help but notice that it looked... odd.







More images here. The textures kept changing randomly, with no apparent reason.

Huh. That's kind of cool.

It's all a Crey, Vanguard and grass plot.

Leo, don't you also have that weird City interface that pops up on the bottom of your screen? That bug is way weirder than the new urban camo copters that Longbow is using.

It's a texture bug with your graphics card running at certain settings. It's happened to me more than once.

Can't recall what I'd done to change those. I do recall having to /reloadgfx a few times to straighten them out, though.

Like these:


... for the blueprint look.



... for the "When office plants attack" scenario.

And this one, oddly, I kind of like...

See my Guides and Tutorials

I set my graphics settings all the way to 11 just to see what would happen, and my computer just refused to render anything. However, in the character screen it showed my characters in silhouette with just their chest emblems and a few other bits visible, which I thought looked really comicbook-y.

Ahh, my laptop has a bug like this that crops up all the time. Usually when I alt-tab out to something else. Interestingly though, sometimes the texture that randomly appears is a part of my power tray, which I find odd as it's a bunch of textures rather than one.

All sorts of things can be replaced, like a roof:


A costume (which leaves a rather rainbow snakeskin feel, I felt):


Sometimes removing parts of the costume entirely:


I think that this one time, Imperial City's windowlight glowmaps may have been pasted onto the buildings of Paragon:


the glow behind alert text:


and my personal favourite, the sky itself:

It was wonderful watching my power tray glide across the sky.

It's a bug that crops up often enough, but it's little enough of a nuisance that I don't really bother looking to fix it. It sorts itself out if I just change the character and world texture levels. A quick notch up and down and it's good as new.

Has happened to me a few times as well. I did get a little "huh?" moment when I logged in on WW and saw roof etc had fallen down and cluttering the scene (although other chars jumped up and behaved normally). When I exited WW I did not see anything wrong, but when I returned inside it was the same (bugged). A relog did help vs that.

make my skin crawl :s
