All PC's look cloned after patch!

I’ve been refreshing to see if anyone reports this too… but it seems I am the only one to get this bug or whatever?

After installing the latest patch (today 20th August) I was surprised to realize my husband’s PC, who was in the same party than my PC before the patch, and which is a female mesmer, looked like a faceless male stranger… in pink

Then we switched to our sister elementalists (again female human)… and that male stranger was here again!

(But at least he kept his cute quaggan backpack).

Then we went to Divinity’s Reach and… Oh the horror!

All people had been cloned!! All player character’s were cloned into stranger male characters with a default armor (which changed depending on their class, but nothing else) which looked all the same!!!

I wonder if this is due to the new Anti-culling feature or what. Anyway it is disturbing and uncomfortable and I don’t know what to solve it.

I’ve tried so far to:

- Reboot the game
- Reboot the computer
- Change resolution settings to all combinations (mainly smaller ones, less memory-consuming)

But no changes :/

I’ve also realized I get the name of the foes and ambient creatures in the distance, which is also bothering when there are too many, and I also tried to set all the “Show NPC/Enemies/PC names” options off, without them dissapearing (this can be seen also in the second screencap)

(and I can’t seem to make the images appear as images either, so I have to leave them as links. Oh well…)

I’m glad you figured it out, Sonia!
