[BUG] Head and Body Markings not showing correctly

Bad_Company

Hi everyone.

I don't know if this bug is currently being looked into (since I have sent a ticket about it some time ago) or if you guys at ZOS (tagging you, @ZOS_GinaBruno, just in case) are even aware of it. I might as well be the only one experiencing it, but I figured I should have checked this out.

Here are two pictures, the first being from my Character Selection Menu and the other an in-game screenshot.

-Picture 1-

-Picture 2-

As you can see, both the Head and the Body Markings I applied to my character are visible in the Character Selection Menu, but not in the actual game.

Apparently, this happens with all Head and Body Markings. Also, in the Collectibles Menu they both appear to be unequipped, but when I do try to equip them I have to double-click twice, as if they were equipped but not showing. Whenever I do so, changing zone in game reverts the change back to Picture 2.
This is kind of frustrating, as it either forces me to follow this procedure every single time I log into the game and/or I change zone, or it forces me to play without said collectibles.

Is anyone else experiencing this? Am I the only one?
Bear in mind this is EU/PC, just in case this is a region/platform-specific bug.

Any further information regarding this bug is appreciated.

This happens with Khajiit as well, using the markings dropped out of the crown Crates. All I know is the markings are invisible, I haven't messed around with them any further than seeing they don't show up though.

I have applied both Crown-Crates-exclusive collectibles and the standard ones on my Khajiit, but this issue doesn't seem to show. It occurred only once, but never again after that.
I don't know why, but men and mer characters seem to be just fine.

Anyway, if and when you have the time and patience to do so, try to follow the procedure I reported above and see if the isse still persists. If so, you may want to send a ticket to ZOS as well.

I'll test it out later when I log in again, and post in here if I notice anything.

My Khajiit is a female, though not so long ago someone else had made a post about the issue on Khajiits (markings from crown crates are invisible) and his was a male character.

@Betheny
Tested again on my Khajiit. It seems the issue occurs every time you equip both a Head Marking and a Body Marking. I used to have only a Head Marking active and didn't run into this bug, now it's there too. Also, IDK if a character's gender plays a role in this, but both my Khajiit and Argonian are male.

@ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom Can we please hear from you about this bug? I've sent a ticket, no answer. I've posted a thread, no answer. Has the issue been at least acknowledged, or not?
Thank you for your time.

This happens to me with all my characters. I will set a different beard and hair style and when I use a wayshrine it reverts back to the original look. Same thing with body markings.

Bad_Company

@FLuFFyxMuFFiN

Does it happen to human/elf character as well? It never occurred to men/mer characters of mine, but if it does this bug is more serious than what I thought in the beginning.
Also, still waiting on a comment from ZOS. @ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom

This happens to hairstyles on all my chars. I zone and their hair changes... Not every time, but quite often, and especially when I enter a trial or dungeon, or go to Rawl'kha. I also see body markings on one of my chars in char selection screen, but they are not equipped ingame. My chars are bretons, elves, redguards and khajiits.

@Pathfindr

Strange, never occurred to me to that extent. Sorry to hear about your issue, I hope we get a response from ZOS soon. Maybe try tagging them along as well, didn't work up to now when I did so.

Sorry to double-post again, but it seems like I fail to reach you guys at ZOS somehow. I would really like to know if this bug has been acknowledged yet. Thank you for your time.

On my Khajiit I only equipped the body marking with no head marking, and got the bug. My Khajiit is a female.

Same here, Bug reported it a while ago.

I'm amazed at how fast ZOS employees reply to threads regarding either Crown Crates or the new Elk Mount, but just fail at replying here despite being tagged not once, but three times. It shows what's important, I guess. Awesome.

I have the same issue. However, it only began after I had allocated the drunk personality to my characters. I removed the personality and the issue stopped. In my case, it is obviously linked to those premium personalities from the CS. It only ever happened after using a wayshrine too or not long after having used one.

If anyone here is using a personality, turn it off and see if that fixes your issue. If it does, then it's obvious some of these issues lie with those.

Good to know, I'll try removing personalities and see what happens. Did the wayshrine thing happen before you removed the personality (as it seems) or did it keep on happening later?
Anyway, not being able to equip CS items that you paid for because of an over-reported, not-looked-into bug is kind of frustrating. Hopefully we'll get a reply. Maybe next year

Never had any issues before or after removing the personality. It just seems the personalities and wayshrines interact with one another and that is what caused my markings and hairstyles to disappear. I only linked it to the personality as it happened to me for the first time minutes after I purchased and applied the personality. I've had the personality off for the last 2 days and haven't had a single issue with markings disappearing. I was gonna make a thread about it, but completely forgot about it.

I should mention that I only have the drunk personality, so I have no idea if the other premium ones would have had the same effect, nor have i ever used the other ones that come with the dlc.

My Khajiit's body marking came from a Crown Crate, so you'd think they'd be in here fixing the issue, but nope.

This has also happened with my Bosmer + the AD skin.

Those personalities also interfere with harvesting animations or fishing animations...often halt the action I set my character to do and go into their stupid pose instead of starting the harvest action or whatever.

True, this happens especially while using Drunk or Assassin personalities. The characters just stand near the node, displaying their idle animation from the personality, and you get the loot from the node after the normal time-lapse has expired.

I'd also like trying to tag along @ZOS_DaryaK , as I've seen he (or she, so no one can jump to conclusion such as "That guy is assuming the admin's gender!") is active at the moment on the forums. I'd really like to know something official about the bug hereby reported.

ZOS_DaryaK

Hey folks, I've moved this post the the bug forum where it'll be seen by someone who can investigate this issue.

While I don't have any information about this bug, I can confirm that I am a...
