Creating Pictures 3D Mode

[Eburaci]

Hi Team, thanks for all the work you do to make the game great.

I am noticing an issue that was not present in 2025. When playing games in 3D, between each at bat, there is a delay as it creates pictures of the next batter. (Blue loading screen at the top says "creating pictures...batter X.")

It does usually go away later in the game -- after, I assume, the picture is created. But, I do not understand why I have to go through this every game?

My settings are only update on Jan 1, disabled pictures for away/alternate uniforms.

Is there something that I am missing, or do pictures just need to be created in-game everytime?

Bumping this

I'll bump this again -- anyone have ideas on this?

Until a solution is reached, try confirming that your Game Settings>Facegen has the top toggle set at "None". This will disable fictional facegens. It will also, as of a recent patch, turn off all facegens (even if a .fg file exists) in the 3D game so all players look like the uniform model.

But I'd like to see if that stops your in-3D-game loading issue. That will give the devs some insight into the issue. I hope.

Thanks for the tip. I have done that (screenshot attached) to sadly no avail. Any other suggestions?

If you play a three-game series, is it worse in the first game and better in the third game? That is, maybe the game is working to make the fg the first time and then not a later time (because it already has a version of the face in its cache)?

Yes -- this is what is happening. When the game is first loaded in 3d mode, it creates all the pictures as each PA is taking place -- which leads to the laggy feel. In later innings, after the facegen exists, it does not (until relievers are brought in). This still happens even when I force OOTP to generate/update pictures in settings before first pitch.
