I reinstalled Etw and downloaded and installed IS and BSM

Then this happens

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

How come his hat is all funky? What on earth is that and how do I fix it?

Help appreciated

Actually it looks like he's wearing it back to front.

Aren't you more worried by the fact the unit is standing in a wall?

That sir, is exactly what I was thinking. How on earth does that even happen? Is there a mod that turns his tricorne around?

I wish it was

Nothing short of common in the World of Empire:Total War

Yet the question remains. How do I tell this gentleman to adjust his hat in a proper position?

He is an officer wearing a slightly different uniform than the rankers.

Notice the braid and sash?

CONTENT!

Where's the bug unless if your on about the green guy but he's turned his head by the looks of it and I can't believe your mentioning this when bigger bugs are still noticable

It appears that his bodyguards wear their hat in the same fashion. Are you siding with the rebels in a revolution by any chance?

I've heard it's an occasional bug with IS and DM for clothing to be reversed.

I also hear that it was common practice to avoid obstructing one's view on the field... in the 90s. That kid knows where it's at.

Just spotted this same weird hat in my own game, and studying it closely I don't even think its a tricorne on back-to-front. In fact, to me it looks like a quadcorne hat (not that there was such a thing) but it distinctly has four corners.

I am terribly sorry of zombie posting on this ages old thread but...

...the problem is still persistent on my vanilla installation

So that got me thinking, how is it possible for a vanilla installation to have a grapchical anomaly? I don't have any mods installed and I installed ETW in a clean folder with nothing in it.

Gentlemen, this is truly puzzling.

For those of us who are not familiar with the topic here is a short summary:
Every "general" model has a groovy hat. That is to say, his tricorne has made a turn of n degrees. I would not have concerned myself with the fact anymore BUT as the problem has stayed even after reinstallation, I am concerned.

What we need here is a Sherlock Holmes/Hercule Poirot of bug solving. If somebody can fix my hat for me, I will PERSONALLY rep you like no man has given you reputation before.
