Profile pictures flickering

hightreason

The profile pictures will often flicker while the dialog is playing. Here is a beta testing video with an example of what I mean cued up to the time.

What's happening here and is there a way to fix it?

AC version 1.68.4
Unity version 2020.1.13f1

There's no timestamp for the video. At what point does the issue occur?

Let's also see details/screenshots of the Menu that displays the profile picture.

The forum must have removed the time stamp. The flicker happens fairly frequently, but I can see it flicker once at 14:43 and again at around 14:52

Not sure which things about the subtitles menu you want to see but here are the settings you most likely want to see

The prefab is just a label and a profile image with another image as a background

This speech menu hasn't changed since the very first game in the series and haven't had an issue with this flickering ever before.

Are you making use of expression textures, or does each character just have a single portrait graphic?

Does this portrait graphic have any animation options set in the character's Inspector?

Though it seems random, there may still be a pattern to the issue. Does this co-incide with mouse clicks, speech tokens, or other characters speaking?

It's hard to say where the issue lies, but if you're not using animation or expressions then AC isn't doing much else besides assigning the sprite to the Image. There are a couple of things you can try, though:

1) Check Duplicate for each line? in the menu's properties
2) Switch your portrait element's Image component for a Raw Image component
