Face Paint Damage
Is Face Paint Damage working for the PC Version? Or is it just on consoles? If so is it limited to Finn Balor Demon and Goldust?

I have seen videos on YouTube of it working on Sting 88, Wolfpac Sting, and Ascension. I believe these are on console though. I am yet to see a video of the PC version. I just wondered if anyone else is getting face paint damage in their game.

Yeah, I thought the same thing. I've had a few matches with Ascension and they were some good matchs. Long, sweaty and bloody! Yet, no face paint came off at all. I've checked my settings. Everything is set to highest settings.

Unless I'm missing something, I have yet to see any face paint come off. :(

None of my CAWs have lost any face paint. Have yet to notice it happening on the original roster either.

I have also tried setting blood to off as someone mentioned this worked. Again this was on console though. I have seen no evidence as of yet that the PC version has face paint damage. A shame as this would have made things a little more realistic.

Update: I have just tried Demon Fin Balor and Goldust in a match. These are the two superstars that were first mentioned to have this happen with their face paint. The result is no the facepaint does not come off as the match progresses. So whether this is or was a bug of some sort who knows? Or perhaps its a feature for consoles only? Or a mod? Anyway it does not work for Fin Balor, Goldust, Wolfpac Sting, Sting 88, or any CAW. I will try Ascension as they were mentioned but I don't hold up much hope.

Update 2: I have started a match as Roman Reigns and used player 2 keyboard controls for Demon Fin Balor. Obviously as Roman I can kick the sh1t out of Fin. His face paint is fading as well. Maybe it is something that doesnt work in AI vs AI matches unless there is a way to increase the length of time it takes for a AI vs AI match. I will experiment further.

So human vs human face paint come soff? but AI vs AI or Human vs AI it doesn't? Intersting.

If this is the case, hope they fix this bug. But for now, there are worse ones to fix from what I have read on here so far.

Every year... I tell ya. You would think the devs would have this game under control by now. But it is, what it is.

You misunderstand me. Human vs AI the paint comes off. The only way that it doesn't is AI vs AI. This is also in free play mode. I am unsure about Universe Mode AI vs AI. I guess when there is a painted wrestler I will find out.

It's certain wrestlers. I know goldust and finn balar (Demon) were confirmed.

Also Sting 88, and Wolfpac version. Also the Ascension tag team. I have tried all of them in a Human vs AI match and the paint comes off. Its in AI vs AI matches where it doesn't. Also Steel Cage matches crash the game for me. The game is riddled with bugs. But then that's typical of a rushed to PC version. They should have ironed out console bugs first and then apply a good port of those to the PC later on next year. Thats what they have done with all other pervious years games.
hey If you have already uploaded the subject of downloading a shirt in the game Big E or Angel or Undertaker works in PC version? i must have a clear answer :)
and why not see anything and this black screen/white the starting of the game is seth roliins to be no? like 2k17 brock lesnar or because of knee from seth roliins is after to start the game menu right that is reason again right? answer me for a 2 questions please up message

Is it possible it only happens with head damage?

Hmm. Still interesting. As I have yet to see any paint wear off. I'll also add, that I am playing in Universe. I've had caw with face paint vs AI. I've also had The Ascension, in a match vs AI. No paint wearing off. I've only had one AI vs AI. Most matches, I play myself.

Haven't tried any of the ones confirmed with paint in exhibition matches. I've just been going at Universe. hehe

Maybe once the bigger bugs are (I hope) looked at and fixed, they'll fix this, if it is a bug. So far, it looks like something is going wrong. At least on my end. Only thanks to playing with Ascension.

I'll try them again and make sure they get a lot of head damge to see if that helps. Didn't think of that cb4n28. Might be something to look into.

I've yet to see any face paint damage, just had a match of Goldust vs. Finn Balor (myself vs. AI), got Finn's head damage in the red, nothing. It looks like such a cool feature, I wish it would work. :(

I've got the game on PS4, as well as PC. Can't say I've noticed face paint damage on my PS4 copy. Although I didn't actually know it was a feature, so maybe I just didn't notice.

Face paint only seems to degrade when playing against other human opponents. Tried 1P vs CPU and CPU vs CPU but paint didn't seem to be affected.
ATM Gamer Oct 23, 2017 @ 11:35pm 
It seems we all are experiencing different issues surrounding this subject. But the game as a whole has a lot of bugs with it. I cannot even complete a Steel Cage match without it crashing. The face paint one is a minor issue to the Devs I guess but hopefully one that does get fixed whereby over the course of a match we get to see face paint degradation. (hopefully).

I can confirm that for me it works with Human vs AI opponent and that is all. I have yet to try it with different settings though. I might set the actual game momentum to slow. ( 3 settings of slow, normal, and fast) and see what happens then. I will post back with my findings.
