When you right-click on another player and select "Info", you should be able to see the character's biography along with the character's portrait and other information. This feature is broken most of the time, though occasionally it does work. Sometimes, it works after a long delay (several minutes). Sometimes, only the portrait is missing. Other times, fields like "Species", "Career", and "Gender" are blank as well. See the screenshot below.

do not worry, patch is coming soon, I am sure (not)

I mean, I'd rather they fix almost anything else first, but I do hope this gets attention.
That is your right, and yes, I too first noticed it right after season 6 rolled out.
Latency related perhaps? like our newly introduced season 8 missing/corrupt or non-existant textures?
Please note that it is not just the headshot that is missing. Sometimes, the biography and other fields are also blank. In addition, the player's shuttle or fighter is sometimes listed instead of his or her current ship.
yes, it was working in season 5, and after 6 rolled out, it's been just as the OP describes...really hit or miss as to when and if it appears versus missing much of the selected toons details.
To see this one broken for this long though, is one reason why the devs have a BAD habit, of seeing something, anything, in the game that is broken or buggy, and don't do a thing about it, letting it fester, until is integrated as something 'new', as it's replaced. It feels, somewhat lazy, as the shiny new, gets a bit 'too' much attention.
You'd think some attention to the little things, even some things overlooked, but possibly clever, would only 'help' the devs in keeping customers around more, rather than have these mad membership rushes at expansion releases, that end up causing sever problems, and overlooked bugged code, just like this thread is indicating.
Just feels... sloppy, when you come down to it.
But who cares, next lockbox is more important
