I was playing Mystic Estate last night and had something happen that
I've never seen before. I had just taken out a bot with a couple of
water arrows and then turned around because I thought I heard a noise.
When I turned back to look at the bot again the textures were gone and
it was just a ghostly white model. The only thing that looked normal
was the small green eye. In all the time I've been playing fan missions
I've never seen this happen. All other character models looked fine and
still had all of their textures. I was able to finish the mission but
just wondered if it was a bug in the mission or if there's possibly
something wrong with my version.

Nope, never had that happen. But I've had my video card fritz out in sort
of similar ways. Just rebooted to make sure it was clear and all was
well. Of course, the last time that happened I think I was still using a
Voodoo Rush chipset card so it was 1998 or so.

I saw this too, but it happened right before my eyes. I was the bot up
on the second floor. I've never seen that before either.

This was the bot on the third floor that's standing in front of some
doors that overlook the balcony in the back of the mansion. It's
between a couple of tables that have Mechanist maces lying on them. It
was almost like my two water arrows washed his textures away.

Yes, as I got further through the mission I saw it happen a second
time on that bot, too.

When I reloaded the game the next day, the bot on the second floor had
its normal color texture back but had lost its shape. It looked like a
large crumpled up blob about the size of a large rock.
