I've already reported this in the bug reporting section (Under 3.1.3 bugs), buuut I've decided to re-post it in Technical Support since it seems like I'm the only one having the problem.
Please note before reading:
-Cache has been purged on multiple occasions.
-Video settings are irrelevant. I'm been fiddling around with them for about a day now and I've found no option that fixes the problem. The problem also doesn't change whether settings are set to the lowest or the highest.
-This is not caused by any of my addons (I'm pretty sure).
-Relogging, restarting the game, or restarting the computer does not help.
-This does not happen before 3.1.0. After patching to 3.1.0 I tried logging on before patching the rest to see if this made a difference. It didn't. (I could tell despite not being able to log on because the frostwyrm on the login screen is fudged up, too.)
The good news is that I can finally roleplay as the headless horseman. The bad news is... Well, everything else. This is preeeetty game-breaking for me. It's hard to roleplay when most of your face is missing, you know?
Now, I'll post the specs of the crappiest computer in existence so that we can compare it with my computer's specs:
Oshi-... That's mine. Welp, aside from my computer being the shittiest in existence, does anyone know what the hell's going on here?
Also, I've browsed tech support on the official WoW forums to see if this is a retail bug, too. From what I've gathered, it's likely that some files were corrupted. But I've tried both running repair.exe and re-patching, but no dice.
