jimmorrisson Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Sentinels/Marauder's also need the Classic Lightweight Vibrosword holstering glitch which was introduced with update 4.7.1 Merciless Raider vibroswords still holster correctly - that is the offhand will criss cross correctly - presumably because it is mainhand only.

Eshvara Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 (edited) Yes please! It's so annoying trying to preview something and it just bugs out completely. Floating savers, bald head, missing feet, no legs but feet, no feet but legs, nothing but just a head, very base models of all armor sets. And the list goes on.

Rolodome Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Just a tip or two to avoid the disappearing parts bug / work around it: - If you click to your companion's window, then back to yours, it resets it back to what the display should be - If you use it in a private stronghold with no one else around, it rarely bugs out in that way, if ever (at least, that has been my experience) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The preview window has its own mind!!! Edited November 1, 2016 by Eshvara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllisonLightning Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 The preview window helps decide what I'm gunning for on GTN as far as CM shinies other than designing my perfect characters. This require methodical work with mix-and-match as well as dye effectiveness... my head and limbs going missing is counterproductive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pscyon Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 In its current form, it makes me want to put a boot through my monitor! Won't the preview window just resize your boot, put it on your head and colour match it to chest piece though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gomla Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 For the past month or so, whenever I try and preview something everything vanishes. I know it's happened to a few other people too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BounceDK Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Preview window bugged. Companions losing buffs when traveling. Companion colors resetting in cutscenes. Memory leaks. Insta fps drop as soon as fighting begins. The list of bugs that's been around for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zasszz Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 While the devs who do not care about bugs are maybe some day soon at fixing things, adress the clipping robes bug too. But they wont because they dont play their own game. They only add content and bugs. Fixing things isnt part of their job anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthEnrique Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 (edited) Hasn't this been going on since like before chapter 16? Or was it shortly after? Edited November 2, 2016 by DarthEnrique Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psandak Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Now does this in anyway could possibly affect the Cartel Market sal-.... Wait a minute... it does... why haven't they hotfixed it yet? Because as Rolodome points out there are perfectly viable workarounds. Just a tip or two to avoid the disappearing parts bug / work around it: - If you click to your companion's window, then back to yours, it resets it back to what the display should be - If you use it in a private stronghold with no one else around, it rarely bugs out in that way, if ever (at least, that has been my experience) In a development environment, as soon as a viable workaround (that works most of the time on the first try) presents itself, fixing the issue becomes a lower priority. When all it takes is two clicks of the mouse to correct the problem... Another problem with fixing the bug, is its randomness; when a bug is not reproduceable on a consistent basis it makes it that much harder to troubleshoot and determine the cause. Personally, I have opened the Preview windows hundreds of times since I first heard about this bug and it has only affected me ONCE. I am not saying this issue is not there, because it is, I have seen it first hand. All I am saying is that this is not a game breaking bug, it is one with an easy workaround and therefore one that will probably never get fixed.

IanArgent Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Now does this in anyway could possibly affect the Cartel Market sal-.... Wait a minute... it does... why haven't they hotfixed it yet? That having been said, ease of describing bug is orthogonal to ease of determining root cause, and both are orthogonal to implementing a fix. Since it's a graphics bug, I'm going to suspect it's a Hard Problem, like many other graphics bugs in this engine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not saying this issue is not there, because it is, I have seen it first hand. All I am saying is that this is not a game breaking bug, it is one with an easy workaround and therefore one that will probably never get fixed. It is pretty game breaking for me. The most annoying bug in the game. When I preview stuff it breaks pretty much every single time. It happens every time I zoom or rotate my character in the preview window I lose my character model or the preview screen goes blank entirely. Switching to companion and back does fix it sometimes but this is incredibly annoying if you have to do it every time you preview a different piece of equipment or dye. Especially annoying because it isn't a viable work around to have to teleport to stronghold if you want to preview stuff off of the GTN from fleet.
