Noob: Body invisible at character creation

[HawlEffect]

Just downloaded the game. No mods. Just starting out, total noob, no idea what to expect.

On the very beginning character creation screen, immediately after starting a New Game, I can see hair, and trousers, and... nothing else.
Doesn't matter what race I choose.
Shouldn't I have a body, or do we all start out invisible?

try revalidating your game cache files. sounds like somthing got corrupted

Thanks.
Re-validating files had no effect.
Then I uninstalled, deleted everything, and downloaded again.
Same problem persists: Clothing, hair and staff are visible but nothing else.
If I press Escape and then Exit, the game crashed with a message that "The game encountered an error."

System details: Playing via CrossOver (a Wine-ish port) on an M1 Mac. Which I suspect is not officially supported. ;-) Likely more a CrossOver/Mac issue than a Kenshi issue. Will check CrossOver-related forums for related info.

PS- Not just during character creation. If I start the game as a Wanderer in a town, *nobody* has bodies. It's just a bunch of moving disembodied clothes & hair lol

First, try to install everything in the dependencies folder. Second, try using the 'borderless' mode. Third is to update GPU driver.

yeah, Mac is not supported, any bugs encountered with it we can not officially help with. game is made to run on windows only. since we have no experience with Mac.

best i can offer is to partition part of your drive and install windows on it.

This is generally a good idea for Mac users with x64 chips, but unfortunately OP has an M1.

Use a linux proton instead of a windows.

? I thought there was no Proton version for Mac.
