Console cross-eyed bug, 1 year later

JadeCoin

With the release of Elsweyr, we're coming up on the 1-year anniversary of the cross-eyed bug on console, which was reintroduced with Summerset.

For those who haven't seen it, it looks like this, and it currently affects 100% of my Nord, Breton, and Redguard characters:



This image is taken from the thread here. The bug first appeared with the new texture pipeline in CWC. It went away when the old pipeline was reverted, but returned with Summerset.

Is ZOS aware that this still hasn't been fixed?

My characters have it 50% of the time. It’s quite funny

My Breton has this too. I had to give her a helm to make her look less derpy, which is pretty frustrating given the effort involved in getting her to look half decent.

Synnastix

Lmao launching and rerolling immediately

It's very frustrating in a game where a lot of emphasis is put on customization. Yes, it's just cosmetics, but given how much money the Crown Store must make on costumes/motifs/outfits/etc., ZOS knows that customization matters quite a bit to their players.

My imperial has the lazy eye instead of cross eye...

It's actually kind of amazing at the jewelry crafting station lol.

But yeah, fix would be nice.

My Nord gets this off and on. Really not a good look on my buxom blonde.

Yeah.

For now, I’ve sort of tried to embrace the derp via the Drunk personality. She’s a far cry from the noble Breton I initially envisioned.

Yep, drunk and cross-eyed, I see where this all leads: "Who made that Breton a healer?"

@ZOS_GinaBruno, remember this? Please don't leave our lovely characters in this pitiful state!

Is this very hard to fix... it seems like it? My main has this a lot.

Omg WHAT ARE YOUR EYE SLIDER SETTINGS SO I CAN DUPLICATE THIS AWESOME LOOK!

It doesn't affect elves as far as I can tell. It's just barely noticeable on some Khajiit and Argonians, if you really look. I think all of those races are fine as they are, in terms of this bug. It's really just the humans that are affected.

That's not so bad, the Argonian eyes in ES:5 where it goes inside the head, now that is really annoying!

This is why I use the oracle eyes. Harder to tell your eyes are crossed when they're milky white. xD

Edit: Though actually looking at my human characters, none of them actually have this. I wonder why mine are immune. ._.

@General_Zeranth what distance are you viewing them at? From close up the bug is not visible. I play with the camera zoomed out quite far.

Also, I'm not sure whether this affects the Xbox One X. I'm on the One S.

Other things that make a difference are vampirism (my Breton vampire looks just fine... well, bloodshot like a Skooma addict, but otherwise just fine) and how light or dark the eye color is. Darker-eyed characters look worse than lighter-eyed ones.

Realism and immersion. This is clearly a feature, not a bug.

Left4Daud

I play on PC but this makes me sad. I remember seeing this when the threads first popped up and I can’t believe it was never fixed.

I agree!

This is the only time I've felt that the console version might be superior!

I noticed this bug a long while back and resorted to the Oracle eyes also (well that or full face mask). I could not even look at my characters while thier eyes were doing this!

sudaki_eso

Agreed, very annoying. Have this on all my redguards...

The way you said that had me rollin'

All my Bretons are 'effected' --- i put it down to too many hits in the back of the head; you'd be messed up too.

snarkomatic

I got it to go away by playing long enough with the "width between" and "angle" sliders, but it took a couple of tries. Where's the usual tin-foil theory about this being a ploy to get more appearance change token purchases out of console players?

GaunterODim

My redguard stamplar has it and its the reason why I wasnt very happy with any look on her. Ive gotten her the torch personality now and the meridian skin and her eyes are no more while it kinda fits together.

MornaBaine

Wow. I've not seen this on NA but now I'll be on the lookout for it! On the one hand, it is pretty funny. On the other, it must be absolutely infuriating to those affected. I'd LIKE to say I'm very surprised this has been going on so long without a fix but... sadly I'm not.

General_Zeranth

@JadeCoin
I've viewed my characters in the selection screen and each at multiple distances in 3rd person view to check and even without cosmetics or any cover ups I didn't see anything like this on my Redguards or Bretons. I don't have any Nords so can't check that one.
If it makes a difference I'm still running an original Xbox One, but my husband has an Xbox One X and his human characters aren't affected by this either. Maybe its a hit or miss but man I hope it gets cleared up soon!
As a person who loves her cosmetics and tweaking a look to perfect I know the pain when something messes with that appearance we strive for.

LurgidBean

Here I was thinking I kept really screwing up in character creation.
I've deleted so many almost-perfect (for my tastes) Bretons and Redguards because I couldn't stand looking at them on the character select screen.

Because it is the eyes it is so noticable, please fix!!

burglar

I love this.

Sathukai

I haven't seen it on my end yet, but I would be filing tickets every week until they tell me they're looking into it.

Sorry, the wife and I are moving across town and we got a late start this morning.

Ahem!..."This is just a ploy to get more appearance change token purchases out of console players!!!"
