Strange Graphics Issue

Today I decided to make a new costume using some elements of the new Retro Sci-Fi set... and while those pieces all look great... the praetorian chest detail doesn't seem to want to play nice once I leave the costume creator.

Here's a pic in the creator... looks fine



But now outside the creator the chest detail coloring is all wrong...



Am I doing something wrong? I also tried the costume with no aura or wings to be sure it wasn't just my eyes playing tricks.

Well that chest piece isn't reflective and the same discoloration is consistent no matter the lightning or location... with that said... in CUTSCENES it shows up correctly!

Same map... same lighting:

Check your SG setting and make sure they're not overriding your chosen settings.
