I'm reporting this, please contact support about this issue. I'll keep you informed.

Is there anyone else experiencing this?

@HorizoNiki: The tech team would like to know if you checked your drivers. It may be related to out of date drivers. Could you give us details on your configuration?

[HorizoNiki]

Sure.

Operating System: Windows 8 64-bit (6.2, Build 9200) (9200.win8_gdr.130410-1505)
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3230M CPU @ 2.60GHz (4 CPUs), ~2.6GHz
Memory: 6144MB RAM
Videocard: NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M x2 SLI with available graphic memory 4096 MB.
Driver Version: Latest - 331.82.

The game seems to be running just fine, though. It's just this one glitch.

NOTE: It just might be important - I am running this game on a laptop LENOVO Y500

Also, when i enter the customization for the very first time, the face textures are completely black for all the characters. And only then, after browsing other characters for a while, the game seems to start the glitching. Sometimes it shows proper texture, sometimes it doesnt. Also, whenever i try to take a screenshot while the "black" face is on screen - the screenshot is just a whole black screeen. My bet, it might be a DX11 fault.

I have this exact same issue, along with the empty/mismatched player portraits issue brought up here (link). The opponents are not using disguise abilities, and it even happens in the tutorials and wolfpack.

I should have posted my findings here too. But here's my other post: http://forums.ubi.com/showthread.php...looked-so-sexy

But anyway, I have had the same problems too. The same glitch makes playing multiplayer nearly impossible. The only way to identify targets is LoS. Player portraits for targets and scoreboard are either blank or completely wrong. Plus everyone in the map looks like freaks.

I did notice that on the first run of the game (so far once every day), uplay starts downloading a patch always starting at ~22MB (out of ~26MB). I never see a confirmation screen or it installling. As far as I can tell, nothing happens. Was there a patch to apply but the game is just not applying it?

Haha!:d

Yeap, same problems as mentioned above here too.

Nvidia released their 331.93 beta drivers today. The release notes indicate that the missing/swapped character textures have been fixed. After testing it out for a bit, that doesn't seem to be the case. I still get bearded ladies and other ugly character mashups. Plus the target portraits are still showing up blank, which means multiplayer is still unplayable for me at this time. Any news on this?
