Rather weird costume bug

I have a character on Exalted who I logged in to, they had no powers and were effectively lvl 0....and all her costumes were messed up. And by messed up I mean the following:
Female Head
Male Torso
DEAR GOD WHAT ARE THOSE? Hands
Female Legs
Male Boots

Oh yeah, and this is viewable by everyone, not just me....and even when I change this costume to a normal one, it still keeps coming back...

Make sure you aren't in SG mode first. Go to the tailor, save the costume to a file named MessedUp. Back out of the tailor. Exit the game.

Go to your CoH installation folder, find the Costume folder, find the MessedUp.*** file (can't remember the extension, sorry) and open it in Notepad.

Copy the contents of the file and paste it into a reply here. Someone should be able to copy/paste that data to a new costume file and see if they can recreate the issues. That would likely eliminate it as being something entirely on your end.

If it can be duplicated, you can file a /petition about it and update the ticket with the contents of the costume file and let them know that others are able to recreate it using that same costume.

I have a similar problem - no pics I'm afraid as yet.

It first happened when I was making a new char in the char creator screen. I can get as far as choosing the bottoms when they and everything below this point subsquently vanishes. If I perservere and ignore the fact that nothing appears to be there I can still complete creating the character and enter the game's first zone. When I arrive the char is completely and correctly dressed in my chosen attire. However, during the course of the sewer trial, or any other mission, parts of the costume vanish and all that is left are black boots, sometimes only the upper half of costume is missing.

Also, I am finding if I try to change the costume on any of my old chars at the tailors the above happens, all I can do to remedy it is to back out of the tailor without making any changes at all.

Besides the above I am find that sometimes parts of the scenery on maps are missing - in blocks - this comes and goes and can occur in various places.

I can't find anywhere where it says whether this is a known issue. As it is getting very near the holidays I am reluctant to bug/petition or raise a ticket with support regarding the above. I am wondering whether there is a work-around to save me doing so or will I just have to put up with it until after the holidays.

Any help and advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks Tex for your advice.

Happily, for the last 24 hours not seen either of these problems, maybe they were just a hiccup. If the scenery problem does crop up again I will of course open a support ticket.
