I’ve been encountering an issue where all of my character portraits in the selection screen have really washed out, pale faces. It’s pretty annoying, especially when I’m trying to choose a character. Is there a way to resolve this problem?

Restarting the game usually does the trick for me when this happens. I’ve run into it a few times over the years, especially after switching characters. Give that a shot!

If all else fails, you could always use a total makeover kit or just create completely new characters. But just a heads up, I’ve tried that and they’ll sometimes end up with the same pale issue again!

Same here! My Sylvari and Asura characters ended up with the same washed-out look too after a makeover.

Yeah, I’ve noticed this bug popping up recently too. It can be a bit random, unfortunately.
