Beam-Out Giving Character Extra Facial Hair

I first observed this occuring on the Holodeck server back in March, but now we're at season 2 and this glitch is STILL occuring. Is my Mirror Universe counterpart really THAT persistent in invading the Prime Universe?

(Also, both of the boat lights on the Sovereign are green, instead of the Red/Green configuration that they're supposed to have...but I'm sure you've already gotten messages about that)

    yeah, that's not as easy to fix as you think. that's not extra facial hair, you're seeing through the model. what is happening is that the Alpha channel (the part of a texture that makes it transparent) of the beard is being interfered with by the alpha channel of the transporter beam. This is the same reason parts of your uniform disappear under your combadge and rank pips during transport. Unfortunately, it's a bug that's been plaguing game designers and graphic artists for years, and it probably won't be solved any time soon.

    Yeah, but the thing is, I never had this problem before the season 1.1 update. My character looked just fine when he was transporting back then =/

    This is true, they also fixed it for a while but now its broke.
    Also when you leave your bridge you transport out, this was also fixed for a while.

    I hope Cryptic start maxing long term fixes to the game.

    I just recently re-subbed and am noticing this too. I never had this happen in beta or at release.

    My Character Last, during beam out his eye brows change as well as his hair style, and he does NOT tap him COM badge!
    and the emote does not work for me either!
