[BUG]No face, no legs and sometimes no arms

**Floren d'Asteneuz** · January 15, 2015, 07:57 AM

Hi,

Since the last update, I have a bug : one character on 3 has no face. Everything else is fine (helmet, moustache...) But face is just an empty space.

On strat interface (generals, etc) and on tactic map (soldiers).
On the strat map the soldiers has often no legs and no arms, but the weapons and armors, leg protections included, are visible.

Is it normal ?

I didn't install any other mods and steam updated this mod automatically.

When was the update? Today? What soldiers are affected? What factions? Some from the team can surely tell you what's wrong then. Is it only from a distance that bodyparts are empty (no imposter models) or is it no parts at all?

If it is not only from a distance, something could perhaps be wrong with your variantmeshdefinitions, f.e. no skins in it? Perhaps you then should delete the DeI-pack No. 2 and download it again. Yesterday f.e. after some modding in my personal fixpack I suddenly had no generals on the map, just little flags. It turned out that all of my changed general variantmeshdefinitions (I changed all to get rid of the ugly Spartan beards) were totally disturbed although I did not especially change them that day. Don't know what happened with the PFM. So it was all my fault. After installing back-up variantmeshdefinitions all was fine again.

I had the bug too and screenshoted it 'cause it's very funny! A running coward ghost! The soldier disappear, leaving everything else behind! Hahahaha! I think it may be a rendering problem or whatever it's called. It only happens at a certain zoom level: more or less and the soldier comes back. Here:

I have the same bug, playing as Rome. With me, it's the limbs and the faces of the soldiers that are invisible or transparant. You can only see the uniform and the weapons they're holding. My Steam version of DeI is fully up to date. The only mod I use besides DeI is GEM.

Maybe GEM modify textures?

Just a side note but for the UI cards, you have Petrobras, if you want to switch to "full DeI" you need to delete what is inside the UI folder to replace those bullgod cards.

Thanks! I was asking myself how to get away with this thing! It was good once, but now it's incomplete.

At a certain zoom level some units/variants may be missing imposter models. These models are used by the game to improve performance/decrease variation when you zoom out.

Try standalone version, I did not had any of those so far.

**Don_Diego** · January 15, 2015, 03:10 PM

No this isn't imposters, it seems you are missing actual skin defnitions? Strange though, not seen this issue at all lately. Are you sure you have all steam packs running and cleared out any old mods that might conflict?

**Dresden** · January 15, 2015, 03:17 PM

This looks like they may be running part 1 of 0.96 maybe in Steam. I would recommend removing all DeI mods and resubscribing to them.

**Floren d'Asteneuz** · January 16, 2015, 05:38 AM

All right,

The problem is indeed that I have the older version still activated. So, I uninstalled the mod, but strangely enough it seems that I cannot unsubscribe to the older version (no option there, cf screenshots) any help from someone ?

**Butan** · January 16, 2015, 10:32 AM

Do two things:

- unsuscribe from the workshop
- delete left over .pack in the data folder of R2

After that if its still showing in the mod manager, there is something amiss. Worst thing, just let it as is and just dont activate it.

And also you can download the standalone version of DeI and not deal with any workshop problems. In exchange you wont have auto-updates ofc.

**VektorT** · January 16, 2015, 01:00 PM

Not sure if the problem is it. I dont have any old version, I deleted every mod from data folder before installing 1.x version.

**Floren d'Asteneuz** · January 16, 2015, 03:01 PM

Thanks for the help.

And I confirm (in my case) it is due to the old version's ghost. Having reinstated the mod and deactivated the old version, it works perfectly.

In fact, I played with the old version while the new was installed and didn't have the features of the new mod until today. (Icons, culture buildings, modified units (those parthian cataphracts !!!))

So thank you!
