Kiradcattan Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Okay, the first is kind of strange. When I actually change my companion's clothes, then interact with them in conversation, for some odd reason they're suddenly wearing a different costume. I don't know if it's a bug or just an in game issue, but it's kind of confusing when you see it happen. Second.. when the ship Darth Mar had was attacked by the Eternal Fleet with those boarding party bullets/torpedos/whatever you want to call them, They were completely white.. with a black stripe fitted in with the word Item on it. I couldn't make out the rest without getting filled with blaster holes, but still. Hope this helps, Kira Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if it's a bug or just an in game issue, but it's kind of confusing when you see it happen. This happens when the armour you use has a faction-split appearance. Most crafted gear does this, but some other stuff does it as well. It appears (normally) in one faction out in the world and in the other when in cinematics or KotFE/KotET chapters. For Lana it's one step worse, though, since she wears this stuff in Republic mode out in the world and Empire mode in cinematics and chapters, even if your character is Empire.

I couldn't make out the rest without getting filled with blaster holes, but still. Generally this happens when the proper texture for an object couldn't be loaded for whatever reason. Assuming your performance overall isn't terrible, the most likely culprit would be a corrupt file in your TOR installation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiradcattan Posted October 18, 2017 Author Share Posted October 18, 2017 I dress my companions in clothes that are drops or awards for quests done. Nothing major. I've also found that this may just be a glitch in the ship, because outside the ship, it's not that apparent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renanev Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 I've noticed the same problem with my companions' clothes, but only during cutscenes and conversations on my ship. Cutscenes outside of my ship haven't had that issue (at least not so far). It'd be interesting if this is something that could be fixed, because it does kind of throw you off each time.

Moonstorm Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 I have had the companion clothes issue both on and off the ship. Apparently it IS only the outfits that have faction differences. Is this some sort of ploy to get us to buy more cartel armors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiradcattan Posted October 29, 2017 Author Share Posted October 29, 2017 I found a way around the clothing issue. Grab some Level 10 clothes or some Cartel armor that you've already bought... you know.. the stuff you can Modify? Toss them into those and they'll stay in the same gear on or off the ship and don't mysteriously change when you're not looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any gear that you can find on Tor-Fashion with a (Pub) or (Imp) after it in the page title will do this because it has a per-faction appearance. Any gear without that only has one appearance that's used for everyone. Companions use one faction's appearance in the world, and the other in cinematics etc. If both factions look the same in the armour, a companion's appearance will not change. Sigh.

Styxian Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 (edited) This has been bugging me for at least several months now. It's so frustrating to find a cool outfit for your companion, only to see them dressed in something completely different (and unsuitable for the situation) in the next cutscene.

davracahan Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Has there been any official response to the armor switching bug? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenAndros Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 (edited) Have noticed the same problem. Sent an in-game bug ticket. The response I recieved was that they were aware of the problem and that a fix would come in a future [unspecified] update. That was six weeks ago and we are still waiting. I encourage all of you to send a ticket as well. It is an irritating bug that should be moved up on the "what-to-fix-first-list".

davracahan Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Any news on this front? I know cut-scene bugs are at the very bottom of the list of priorities, but it would be great if we got a fix for this eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlkarMBar Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Same problem here. It seems that they have classified it as a low priority bug. I think that the person that prioritized this bug applied blindly a priority guideline without realizing how bad this bug makes them appear. Having Kira speaking to you in some Sith robes that scream EVIL really breaks your immersion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwaneth Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 On my warrior Quinn's dressed as a jedi? I haven't even changed his armor at all so it's a bug. And the whole thing on Marr's ship is just bad. Imagine being a new player and you buy an upjump level to 65 just to see this in your first mission. It's very weird and unseemly.

SteveTheCynic Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 While I agree that a fix for the companion-appearance bug should get more priority than it has been given, I don't agree that it is even close to the toppest of the top. It is 100% a visual oddity and causes no significant gameplay issues. Nothing about it makes the game crash, corrupt your character, lock your character so you can't log in, or whatever. It just looks weird. If companions dressed in split-appearance gear couldn't fight, that would be an issue that should be fixed sooner rather than later (but if it was *only* split-appearance gear, the importance would be mitigated by the relative ease of avoiding it.

AlkarMBar Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Yes, of course it's not critical. But, as I said, it seems it's a low priority bug for them (tt has been months), and it really makes them look bad before the players, because it's a very visible bug.

D-keno Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 (edited) Low priority or not, a bug is a bug. It says something about their character and priorities that it's been going on for eight months and they still haven't gotten around to it. It might be a simple fix, or it could take a day, but it's still time invested into fixing the game and making it run more smoothly.

Do you not understand what "low priority" means for bugs in software? It means that "high priority" bugs get fixed first. If there is a steady influx of gameplay-breaking bugs, the whole category of "it looks weird" bugs will get delayed significantly, possibly eternally. And that is how it should be. I agree that the boarding-pod(1) bug should probably be given higher priority than the "companion clothing changes faction" bug, because all bugs to do with object textures should be looked at to make sure there isn't something going on that causes corruption. (1) It affects all boarding pods, including the ones in Black Talon and The Esseles, which are probably more important reasons to fix it, since new players who don't tokenise their first character will probably see that long, long before they see their companion's clothes change in cut-scenes.
