Character appearance changed by itself (Imperial)???

Soul Shriven
Just noticed today that my character hair has changed from white to brown. Have tried to create a new Imperial char just to test the color appearance and there is not white in Imperial any more. What's going on? Did ZOS changed Imperial race appearance and updated all already create Imperial player char???

Last time I used a minimap though it tanked my FPS.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭Are you using sweet fx or something?
[edit] I used it in Skyrim and it often gives green-ish shades, you gotta adjust teh settings. Not sure if its allowed in mmo though.Edited by LadyNalcarya on March 29, 2016 10:27PMDro-m'Athra Destroyer | Divayth Fyr's Coadjutor | Voice of Reason

✭✭✭✭✭I can't create a new character to check it because I'm out of character slots (can I PLEASE buy more, ZOS? ç-ç), but my Imperial's hair didn't change. Her hair is dark brown, though.Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.
Meet my characters:Command: Do the thing.
Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.0 -

Both screenshot were made with exactly the same graphics settings, both on Ultra. But it's a good guess
. I filed a support ticket with ZOS, still waiting for their explanation of this effect. 0 -

Yes, sweetfx (custom settings) are enabled and used in both screenshot, I did not change anything in between there screenshot, all graphics settings and post processing filters and 100% equivalent. But the main question is - white hair color is not available now when you try to create an Imperial char, and before it was.0 -

First one looks like vanilla though. Its a stupid question, I know, are yo usure it was enabled? Because my vanilla eso has the same color palette while char select screen clearly looks like sweet fx or enb.Dro-m'Athra Destroyer | Divayth Fyr's Coadjutor | Voice of Reason

Yes totally sure, I have a bunch of screenshots taken in diff time, everywhere I have white hair. Only yesterday I noticed that something's different in my car appearance. I have configured graphics and sweetfx once when I have exited tutorial and did not touch it since. I'll poke around my settings tonight just to make sure that I'm not making any false statements here and post a few more screenshot.

Well, to check it, I went to the same place and...
Same color palette, no sweetfx.
It just looks like it wasnt working or something. This thing makes red and green accents much more pronounced and presets often look like the lighting is yellow-ish (liek on you char select screen).Dro-m'Athra Destroyer | Divayth Fyr's Coadjutor | Voice of Reason

Thank you for taking time and going there, much appreciated! I just did the same experiment for the sake of argumentKoshkaMurka wrote: »Same color palette, no sweetfx.

. See screenshots taken at exactly the same point below.
With sweetfx:
Without sweetfx:
None look like it used to be before:
But I agree on this particular screenshot, most likely sweetfx was off. Does not change my point though - hair color has definitely changed on its own for my char.Edited by uladz on March 31, 2016 4:54AM0 -

✭✭✭I warned everyone this would happen. Everyone thinks the new DLC introduced bugs but it's just another Reachman plot. The Nordification of all races has begun.
It's not Abah's Landing, it's ABBA's Landing.
See here the before and after shots. It's a bottle blonde Dragon Break.1 -

✭Hrm. You can certainly still make blond Imperials! Screenshots taken 2 minutes ago, PC-NA.
White-blond Imperial (definitely looks like the same hairstyle and hair colour as yours), hair colour bottom left:
Yellow-blond Imperial, hair colour top left:
Looking carefully at your pictures, I can see that everything is a different colour in the "new" pictures compared to the "old". In particular, the rocks, the statue, and the Skyshard are really different! Even your character's armour is a different shade of green than it used to be! (Also, the sweetFX screenshot is horrible - people actually make their computer give those kind of colours on purpose?!)
Maybe something else changed on your computer at the same time as the new ESO patch? Did you update your graphics drivers? (Or rather, did they automatically update themselves?)
