SG colours on Widow costume bug?

Hey Everyone,

I just made my first Arachnos Widow and tried applying the SG colours to the costume. I could change all the colours except for the ones on the inside of the "cape".

Is this a known bug, did I do something wrong?

It looks really bad, makes the feature of using SG colours in the costume basically unusable.

Thanks,

RW

Capes, trenchcoats and other back items are bugged. Only way to change them is to use the "link all" in the color selecting and set them first and then unlink the colors to set the rest. This bug has been around for quite a while now (think it goes back to the introduction of trenchcoats).

Oh, thanks. I have been able to do it on a character with a normal cape though. It had settings for inside and outside of the cape. Maybe it's just the trenchcoat and Widow costume that are still bugged.

Thanks for the work around, I will try that. I just discovered that a Widow only has the special costume in the first slot, so this way I can still have variants of the costume. Fortunately the SG colours work really nicely to accomplish that.
