Hair colour keeps changing

[Jaeger Pilot]

My character is a hot blonde elven mommy, but when I change maps her hair colour change from blonde to dark. Has anyone else experienced this? I just noticed it now in Arlathan Forest.

You need to go back to the mirror and use it. I had this problem with my character that the makeup gets removed. Loading in the mirror and adding it back fixed it for me and now it sticks.

Okay. I will try this. I wanted to change her makeup anyway, to make it more noticable, so I'll do that and report back.

This, I think. I've only had time for a brief playtest so far, but my guy seemed to have different coloured hair every time I changed to a new zone. Not even sure what his hair colour is, tbh... (just a preset I used for the playtest, didn't pay attention).

normal i created a blond elf, the first map it was nearly black, and in the forest is was a dark brown :) but its mostly the lightning/shadows if you manage to find a bright spot (or without shadows) its the normal color.
could be a dlss porblem but not shure only enabled it and leaved the options be since no performance issues occour

I'm hoping I don't have this issue when I create my own character, as I am planning to try to recreate my Inquisitor who had silver hair (elf also). Sometimes games don't handle light hair colours well, might be worth messing with the graphics options to see if that makes any difference...

Theres a bug that may happen on applying style changes, reloading saves can fix that.. the lighting thing hapens in various games but i also think its tied to graphical options. High and ultra lighting and such reduce oditties caused by the different shades of light.

But thats one of those things that happen irl and people dont usually notice, also our mind adjusts for it (even more so for people were already familiar with). Some specific shades of hair and eye color irl cause that all the time to the point people notice and comment on it

Heck i know a girl whose eyes look red, dark brown, dark and sometimes light brown

We usually see that if you go from very different shades of light but irl we dont do that often, maybe at a night club. The games fantasy style with magical realms and high bloom enhances that- you go to yellower woods to violet, deep purple, bluish, the greenish necromantic looking areas etc etc, all the while teleporting over drastic different ones

Heck the character creator demonstrates that. On there try changing the lighting options, each is a different shade, even skin tones change because of the drastic shades and bloom

I made some changes at the mirror. Heavier glam makeup on, and even lighter hair colour. Kind of platinum blonde so I would notice it more if it changed. So far the mirror trick has worked. Will report back if it changes again.
