Has Anyone Noticed Yet?

[Cymsdale]

Off topic nonsense aside, now that I've tried the game myself I do see something off with the faces.

 

[Kanaric]

yeah i'm not seeing anything

The character portraits are all broken. Compare the beta patch faces to the previous patch. You'll see a big difference.

Those noses do seem deformed...

 

[Rinmaru]

The modders have confirmed that the portraits are messed up. The nose, eyes and ears are misaligned. The guys who created the portrait realignment pack are looking to see if they can fix it.

No disrespect toward modders, but I hope it gets fixed officially.

Dem noses

Once you notice it....



UGH I CAN'T EVER LOOK AT A RULER AGAIN

I'll repost my comment from the official beta patch thread:

The noses themselves haven't changed a bit. They dimensionally "compressed" all the Western and Muslim facial graphic files (eyes, mouth, nose, and ears) in an attempt to squeeze free some memory usage, but this rush job has unwittingly caused some of the noses not to match up perfectly with the rest of the features. I expect some more polish will resolve the mismatch/misalignment issue by the time of the official release, but in the mean time, I'll restore the old graphics files and portrait interface faces.

The facial alignments look off to me as well, so I restored the old Western and Muslim facial graphics and portraits.gfx file.

EDIT: For those bothered by this glitch/misalignment, I've whipped up a quick fix for the Western/Muslim facial features: http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?767593. It basically restores the facial features back to 2.1.1 state. I recall modifying graphics and interface files does not disable Ironman and achievements (please correct me if I'm mistaken), so it should be suitable for anyone to use.

Hwæt?

Oooh... now I see it, that is quite the honker.

 

[Anonymous01]

Yay for realism.

 

[DMcCool]

Is it just me, or are some of them fine, and others ugly? If so, I have no problem with this. Variety.

 

[killzone54]

lol i'm pretty sure they are broken

 

[Titan79]

lol i'm pretty sure they are broken

Maybe it's just a new graphical representation the game gives for e.g. the "Voice of Jesus" event.

 

[DMcCool]

lol i'm pretty sure they are broken

Hahaha I take it back. Oh well, on the bright side I guess this IS an open beta patch. This is one of the silliest bugs I've ever seen on this game, on par with the RoI bug of kings getting pregnant.

Will there be an assassinate Nose button?

 

[unmerged(77885)]

I guess this goes to show that I probably should spend more time interacting with human beings so I can observe what a normal nose looks like.

 

[scelestus13]

Wow. Do Indians have this problem? Cause if they do, how I missed this is beyond me.

No, read what I've said:

Only the vanilla Western and Muslim facial features are affected; PDS didn't compress any of the DLC portraits. And no, messing up the Muslim portraits is no less inexcusable than if they had messing up Indian portraits, as they explicitly TARGETED and MODIFIED Muslim portraits.

yeah its broken as hell, hope they fix it cause no only nose appear like that, eyes or even cheeks are misplaced(like copy twice) and i hate it, someone know how to fix it?
