Greetings @official_kp ,

We’re having some issues with the bug report template.

Can you, please, copy the information in it and share it here?

The bug has nothing to do with the mod. It can be replicated in vanilla by dying it using the vanilla dye system.

Just in case the above wasn’t clear, it’s not about using the dye bench vs. Tot, it’s that mods can interfere with the game causing what appears to be bugs.

In order to ensure that it is a bug due to programming of the game and not programming of the mod(s), you need to test it in an environment completely devoid of the mod(s) including removing the mod(s) from your system, not simply disabling or avoiding the features.

If that is what you’ve done then let us know :slight_smile:

I’ve updated the original post!

Since I’m updating the Bugs & Issues list, I just need to make sure I understand the issue.

  • Is it that of the 4 chains you dye it yellow and one turns black?
  • Of the 3 yellow chains, one of them is darker?

If you look at them in an undyed state, you will see that the colours also do not match - the chain nearest the toes is slightly darker in the original. This is just the dye system working in its usual unsatisfactory way - the chain starts out darker, so it remains darker when dye is added. All three chains are on a single dye channel, so one dye added to the far left box dyes all three chains.
Original state:

Dyed state:

It’s also worth noting that the problem is even worse with a male character - since this is all that the preview shows:

Yet another instance where locking dyeing as a function of the bench has made it worse than before, not better. Another of those wonderful Funcom ‘QoL’ changes that make the game worse than before.

The second one.
