Hey,

I am not sure if this is the right place, but I have some Problems with the lookin of my toon.

When I start MXO in 2006 my toon had white long hair and a normal face without tattoos or something like that. Last week I restart playing MXO. Installed the client from my discs, downloaded the patches and what was that??

After login I had some strange colors in my face, red eyes and tattoos. I have no idear where they come from SMILEY!! I can remember, when I restart in 2007 I had the same problems but I can't find the old thread from here, sorry.

Can somebody help me?? What can I do? I have a WTB Thread to buy one of those new RIS Pills. Is that the only posibility?

Thanks a lot for help

If it is not a graphical error then the Pills can be farmed from the Hideouts all over the City.  Here is a guide to where everything is, you need to farm at Old Miller Projects, I forget which Hideout that is though sorry, you may have to ask around ingame or wait for a more helpful person to reply >_<

You can get pills to change the appearance of your RSI.

I'm guessing the features were probably there, but for whatever reason, your card couldn't render them.

There's some stuff on RSI appearance pills in the Redpill Rescue section of the forums.

/edit SolidRevolver hooked you up with the information you need in the above post.

Sounds like your old graphics card couldn't render the tattoo's et al.

Reminds me of how PBlade got his tat's haha.

I guess quite a few people fell foul of this, hence the RSI pills being released.

I count myself lucky I was able to see tattoos/facial details at character creation time all those years ago!

Is it possible that your graphics card was not to scratch back then? i know when i first started playing i had the same issue. my 1st character had grey hair, no tattoo's, but when i updated, my character got Red hair and some tattoo's. O_O

Sounds like the same problem, but what do you mean with "scratch back then"??

My old laptop could not render hair color nor face/body details, even at character creation. I assume your pc has improved, and the has a better graphics card to pull it off.

I believe what Riac was saying is that your Computer's graphic card is not under Minimum Specification to play this game.

Read those stickied thread above your thread regarding the Nvidia 8xxx series. Apparently the 8xxx series hates MxO although  9mmfu posted a way to have a Workaround to be put on your useropts.

Edited to Add:  Vista could also be the culprit. The devs havent found the cause yet.


#36300438608 04/07/2008 11:23:15 Re:Strange Lookin
I allready did that "useropts.cfg" thing but there were no changes!!

I have Vista but i had the problem on my xp computer in 2007 too.....

Maybe I just need one of those RIS Pills....
