Player pictures not working

Teloch · 12-16-2020, 12:01 PM

Had a little back and forth with your Twitter about this, so...

I've created saves both with and without facegen. No matter what I do, no matter what settings I use, player pictures are always the default silhouettes. I've tried creating new saves, verifying my installation and re-installing the whole game.

What I did find, looking at how the previous games have worked, is that for whatever reason, the game does not create any player pictures to the save folder. Open to ideas on what to try next?

EDIT:
Turns out my virus shield was "protecting" me from evil player portraits without telling me. Had to set exceptions to allow FHM to do it's thing.
Leaving this here in case someone else runs into the same problem, or wants to celebrate me being dumb.

I think a trace file may give us an idea of what's going on there - on the start screen, go to Settings, then Troubleshooting, and click on Enable Debug Trace. Create a new game, and look at a few players, then go back to the start screen and Troubleshooting, and click on open trace file, and post the contents of it. The facegen process is tracked extensively in there, we should be able to see where it's going wrong.
