Stance, Missing anim & Hair Physics issues still there

SnakeDodger · March 10

So...I had hoped this patch would bring fixes to these following issues:

- Poor Idle stances with weapon drawn, especially the staves; body twisting in an unnatural way.
- Animations missing from some Infinite Archive interactions; selecting the verses and visions no longer play an animation as it's supposed to.
- Hair Physics (in hairs that have it) are broken when dual wielding, the hair sticks up as if the player is permanently in a 'falling' state.

Of course, i don't expect every patch to fix every issue, but i'm wondering if the team is aware of these, specially the last two. The missing animations and the broken hair seems to have gone largely unnoticed.
These issues have all appeared wih the animation frame reduction update, and they are still present.

Thanks for these @SnakeDodger! Could you share what platform you are on? Also, could you provide a bit more detail on the hair physics one? Which hairstyles are you seeing this with, and what race/gender is the character, please? If you have any screenshots of this one, that would be a bonus.

As a follow up for the Infinite Archives one, we can confirm we do have a bug in for this and are working on a fix.

I'm not at home rn, so i'll use the screenshots i've posted before, and maybe follow up with additions when i log in again.

I think the bulk of hairs with physics are base game, and as you can see, whenever the weapon is drawn, the hair floats up. The hair usually looks like that when you're falling from a height after jumping.

Afaik, it only happens when dual wielding, it behaves normally when i switch to the staff, for example.
Also, i'm on xbox.

I am still getting horrible jerky animations when in combat with my bow. How do they not notice these things?

@ZOS_JessicaFolsom I tested what i can with my altmer main, the affected hairs are:

1 - Coil with ring braids:
Extremely minor, but only because the 'physics' part of the hair is as well, just two tiny braid loops that bend up when pulling out dual weapons.

2- Dominion War Locks
Similar to the first one, the bendy part of the hair, which is the middle, sticks up slightly, it's almost not noticeable because the bottom part of the hair is glued to the character.

3- Left-Parted Cropped
Now this is extremely visible, the entire back part of the hair floats up, creating a noticeable gap between the back and the hair that is not present when readying other weapons.

-Without physics issue:

-With it:

4- Long Combed Hair
Shorter than 3, but same as before.

5- Long Cornrow
Extremely noticeable, the hair is practically horizontal.

6- Braided Ponytail
Here's a difference between one weapon vs two.

7- Heroic Hind Braid

8- Heroic Pony Dreads

9- Long Hind Braid

10- Maximum Ponytail

11- Orsinium Ponytail

12- Wrapped Pony Dreads

.

And to the comment above, yes, the jerky animation glitch is still there, i'm not sure we're talking about the same thing, but it happens whenever you 'fast sheathe': when interacting with something while your weapon is out or when it automatically sheates when you go to the inventory. The character's arm spasms, then snaps back in place in a pretty jarring way. Again, these issues all stem from the same update.

I get it when I am using various bow skills in addition to regular firing. It's hideous.

Thank you for the additional details (and screenshots!) @SnakeDodger. Also, @whitecrow, thank you. We've passed along what you shared about the bow skills animation issues as well.
