New players get either blank images (different colors) or an image of a ball field.

These forums are great. I was noticing this problem, decided to search for "blank FaceGen" and up popped this thread.
I can lend my support, if only by circumstantial evidence, that this is true. I play OOTP on my laptop and sometimes close the cover so that the computer goes into standby mode. I had done so today and experienced this problem, as I now recall, and I tested it just now after reading the above. When I closed the cover and went into standby, then "woke" the machine up, all new FaceGen pictures from that point on, either on demand or requested by the Picture button, were background only. I had to restart the program to refresh the capability of creating faces.
I hope this can be fixed in the next patch, but I am grateful just to know what causes the problem and how it can be avoided. Thanks to all here.
