What is it with the character screen appearance that it doesn't match my in-game appearance. Last night I put the beret on my chua, and promptly dyed it a different color along with other dye changes to my costume. But still, on character select, my character has the beret on, but it's dyed the wrong color, and the other dye changes I made aren't showing. It has NEVER shown the correct weapon, using instead my equipped one instead of my costume one.
 
I just don't understand how the character screen appearance, particularly the dye choices, don't seem to match in-game. This (so far) only seems to affect one character, my other characters that can use dyes have the character screen stay updated. I'm wondering if it's linked to using the costume weapon, as this character is the only one I have that both uses a costume weapon AND dyes.

The weapon display bug has been around since Beta.  Every time a patch hits I report it as a non-essential bug.
 
Never noticed the wrong color on costumes though.

I noticed that yesterday.  For a while haven't faced the naked bug again, but I change dyes on an alt, and when I was on my way to my main, notice the dyes in the login screen where not the same.
 
But haven't logged back, so no idea if is a temporary issue, or a drop patch issue.  With luck maybe the login screen updates the char data on certain events, like login to game, and not fully dynamic.

Since this is my thread, I feel the necroish is ok, as this is still happening.
 
I now have two characters who's character screen dyes do not match in game. I have removed all costume guns, wondering if maybe that was the issue, but still these two persist in the wrong dyes, for weeks now. I can understand there being a small delay, if you don't update the char screen in real time, but a week later? After a patch (or two) and STILL it doesn't match?
 
I bet if I went and redyed the armor of the character that is broken, it would then show up on my character screen as the color scheme I currently have. It's SO annoying!
 
P.S. Yes I know this is minor in the grand scheme of things, but tired of talking about the same 3 things so figured I'd bump this.

			I still experience the nakedness a lot :))))) don't really mind it much since I don't spend a lot of time on that screen.

I don't usually have dye issues.  My weapon does usually look like the actual equipped weapon rather than the costume one.  I usually don't care an awful lot since I don't linger on the character select screen.  Haven't seen one go naked in a while, though.
 
When I do an explorer's path quest that jumps to a cutscene to show my surroundings, it does seem to ignore my dye (but not my costume).  I reported it as a bug, but I suppose Carbine's got bigger fish to fry right now than a dye bug for a quick cutscene clip.

			It's one of those inconsistent and hard to pin down bugs, because it stretches across several systems. The login server and the costume system don't play well together obviously.Fun Fact: The costume system also does not play well with the cutscene system (or vice versa). Any cutscene in which you can see your character, they will appear with no costume/dye.Edit- and I see Vic beat me to the punch, though he was Explorer specific. Happens in any cutscene though.

To fix it, after dying an item take it out of the costume slot and put it back.
 
Somehow the character select screen doesn't update when you dye something, only when you move items into costume slots. The database set-up that would cause that is kinda terrifying, but there you go.
