New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…….
Original story (published on March 30, 2022) follows:
Developed by Respawn Entertainment, the same studio that brought us the legendary Titanfall, Apex Legends is a Battle Royale title that was released in 2019. In April last year, the game hit the 100 million registered players mark.
But despite its popularity and large player base, those who play the game often encounter bugs such as crashing to the desktop with no error message after Season 12 update and Octane jump pad not launching players into air.
And now, Apex Legends players are complaining (1,2,3,4,5) that the Octane Riding Dirty skin has missing texture. Many say that his hands have the default character textures and are not associated with the Riding Dirty skin.
The problem seems to be making the skin completely useless for now. While many are angry with Respawn messing up the skin, others say Octane looks cooler with his default textures.
A bunch of players initially thought they had corrupt game files and tried generic solutions like verifying game files, restarting the system, and reinstalling the game but soon realized that was not the case.
You can see in the image below how the Apex Legends Octane Riding Dirty missing texture issue looks like.
Below are some reports from players who are seeing the default character textures even though they have equipped the Riding Dirty skin.
As it turns out, Apex Legends developers (Respawn Entertainment) are aware of the issue and said that it will be fixed in the coming days. However, they did not share any timeframe.
Until then, we will be keeping tabs on the matter and update this article as and when we come across new information, so stay tuned to PiunikaWeb.
