When making a new alt, I am not able to change the eye color during the character creation. This seems to be a new problem that I am having since it worked just fine last week. Is anyone else having this error, or is it something with my computer or setup? I'd like to know where to look so I can fix it if it is on my end.

Is the slider there, or moving it just does not change the color?

There has never been a "slider" that I remember for choosing eye color during character creation, but maybe that is a different word than what I associate with the action. Eye color choice is the same as choosing hair color and lip color and skin color. You can choose from several set colors or use a color palette. The hair and lip and skin all work just fine, but when I click on an eye color or on that particular palette the character just blinks and no change is applied. I did go ahead and finish making the character to see if it was just that screen where it wouldn't show, but nope. The eye color stayed the original shade.

My bad I have not created a new character in a while. Slider=color wheel thing

Have you tried creating another character (after a system restart) to see if the problem remains?

~has anyone else run into this problem?~

Try raise the shading slider in graphics options. In my case, if I have the shader slider low, it doesn't show eye colors at all for some reason.

Yep, I did try that, but it didn't change.

Oh, thanks for this suggestion. I did recently change my shader slider to check some things and see if I could get higher fps. I didn't think of that affecting character creation. I'll try and see if changing that is a solution.

It's what happens when the shaders are set too low. :3

Try turning the shader on full and the textures at least half. I could never see my eye color until after I did that.

[Ramie]

Yes. I just found out that I needed to bring the shader way up to see the eye color. Unfortunately I like the better fps without it maxed.

Thanks for the help in figuring that out.

Well, you can at least max it out to put your eye color in, then take it back down in game. You know what color they are, and it won't be this wild ass color to mess up your toon's look.

There is a face or two where the eye color just doesnt change. I remember a friend had the same in the Beta's. As soon as she used a different starting face, the eye color worked fine.
