@holger1405 The reason for recommended clean install (after uninstall and removing all files and folders) is based on previous experience where a game file failed to proper download/update yet the extension was intact and the game was reading the broken file as custom mod and overwrite the original file. Game repair (file check) was reporting all good because it was ok yet one extra file containing problems was still loaded as mod file.
I am talking here about a different game but sine I come up with the fresh install policy I didn't encounter any more "funny things" after game repair (integrity check)
Long story short, instead of game repair I always remove the game and install it from scratch.

NP, but I never had a problem with the repair options, neither in Steam nor in Origin, and it is the "less headache" option. 😉
Honestly, if it is still not working after making sure that nothing it blocking it, I would rather asume a hardware problem or that a configuration or save file got corrupted/wrongly edited.
- @holger1405 Ah, it makes sense... I forgot to mention that I have a nasty habit to alter the games (mods and custom config mostly), in fact I can't think to a single game which I play it as it is. I guess that's why repair doesn't work for me most of the time.
For an intact game I agree with you though, game repair/integrity check would do the trick.Well, I also have textures for smoke or dust not load on a rare occasion, like outside the Kett Stronghold on Eos during the mission or while landing down on foot in the final mission, I think.
This is definitely a corrupt or missing texture problem in that case. As for the face, I assume there was a bug in recreating the sibling's face based on the facial features I chose for my character. Some rare instance of the parameters chosen not leading to a successful sibling face generation. I don't see how it could be a hardware problem since it's very specific problems I have with just two sets of textures in the entire game.
I never modded or messed with configs. If any of you have the game installed, feel free to try the save game out that I linked and see for yourself. I think I saved it right as the messed up brother's face appears in the mission where you have to play as him.OK, this is really something. 😂
Your safe file:
Once I reset the brother's appearance to standard Scott:
I never heard anything about such a problem but apparently you are right.
The engine can't render Scott if he is the customized version of your Ryder.
So as a workaround, if you plan on a second run, change the appearance of Scott at the Character Editor in the Sickbay of the Tempest to his standard appearance.
