Just loged in and my head does looks different, only happens on bootcamp rooms.

Please provide more, and if possible, FULL screenshots of this happening. I'd like to see more to prove it's not fake.

Loged in to take another screen and its back to normal. Got another from before thought http://i.imgur.com/WwtX2BV.jpg

Edit:
Changing quality didnt affect mice. Also the pic on OP.
Anyway whatever happened its fixed now.

You're on low quality.

nevermind is happening again, hight quality pic http://i.imgur.com/ysxILB2.jpg

Huh, that's odd. Is the issue perhaps with your standalone? What standalone even is that?

Rafaelsilva one, he posted it on the first tfm forum when he was supermod. Its a bit outdated (still got flags for loging on different servers) but im used to it.

Not sure its related to standalone since i loged before on this and everything was normal.

Impressed it's still working. (might casually drop you a whisper to get it from you)

I was in bootcamp earlier on browser and didn't experience it, nor did anyone say anything. :s

I see this pixelation in other rooms. (Using a browser btw, no standalone.) It seems to occur when a mouse's clothes or shaman decorations are loaded while I'm on low quality. They stay pixelated until they are reloaded, even after setting the quality back to medium or high. The in-game avatar that shows my mouse's current outfit is pixely as well.

Pictures below (enlarged with the flash player's zoom):
1) my mouse naked - not pixeled
2) my mouse with clothes - pixeled
3) other mice with clothes pixeled, naked mice not

The shaman is presumably pixeled because of the tattoos.



Not sure how it happens in bootcamp, since clothes are supposed to be disabled there. (Though I can make it happen there by logging onto a guest and doing /nosouris to change the mouse's fur from white to brown.)

Good eye, thanks Nublet!
Could it maybe just be in general the mouse sprites? I'll test this theory in a sec~

Since yesterday, idle, running and ducking animations seem to be rendered to bitmap using the quality setting at the time of loading them. These bitmaps used to be always rendered in high quality, regardless of your setting.

Thank for your post, now i get it.

Been doing some test today and looks like they are loading in hight quality again

The default quality setting of the client is now high, while it used to be medium. Your standalone might use medium as the default setting, causing the animations to be rendered slightly different.

yeah, yesterday (and early this morning) my standlone was loading with medium quality. Now is hight so maybe Tig did something already.

Did my post get lost? Whatever...

Noexcuses a dit :

Nope, still pixeled. (Note that your mouse will be shown in high quality as long as you are wearing the outfit with which you logged in, since the game was in high quality at that time. Only mice whose clothes are changed/loaded after setting the quality to low are pixelated.)

Makinit a dit :

Well, assuming this change was deliberate it really makes no sense. I guess the low quality is supposed to reduce lag, but that can be done better by disabling clothes altogether, which leaves me with only two clothed mice - me and the shaman (or one if I undress my mouse). I doubt that one or two clothed mice cause any noticable lag.

On the other hand, I now have to set the quality from low to medium if I don't want my mouse to look totally crappy, but raising the quality also raises the lag. So the whole thing is useless. Please change it back, or fix it if it is actually just a bug.

I really hope they're going to fix this soon. It was fine as it was, low quality was able to reduce the lag by a lot while not forcing every single aspect of the game to look crappy. Now it seems that I'll have to play on Medium if I don't want to be completely repelled by the appearance of the game, lol. Might as well just quit then.

I figured out how to reproduce this.

If i change quality settings to low on a regular room and then i go to a bootcamp room i get this pixelated look.

To avoid this i got to enter bootcamp first and then change quality to low.
