APEX Editor loadout (facewear) changes not working

[evil_brownie 17]

As of the current stable/public APEX release, has something major been changed regarding which player controlled, man-type classes can use in the facewear section in the 3DEN editor?

 

Example of what I'm refering to:

- I start up the editor, any map (Stratis, Tanoa, etc.),

- Place a soldier that I intend on controlling immediately,

- Change it's loadout via the built-in loadout editor,

- hit preview.

 

The problem: with the exception of certain classes (unsure of just how many work/don't work), upon the preview start, my character will have lost it's facewear item (everything else is fine). Example: vanilla A3 NATO Rifleman doesn't work while some of the new CTRG stealth units will work just fine.

 

Doesn't seem to affect AI units i change, nor affected by usage of mods (tested both with and without), and changing it in-game via Arsenal function is fine.

The workaround for the afflicted classnames is to manually re-add the facewear via their respective init fields.

 

Any help would be appreciated, as i really can't fathom why this is happening all of a sudden :/

This has been happening for as long as I can remember. It's not new (at least not with the factions I use). Though I see it with my playable AI only. My player seems to be unaffected.

I haven't looked explicitly at this with Apex though.

I take back what I said. It doesn't work for the player either.

Also, some helmets are disappearing when selected in the edit loadout option too. This is new. The combat helmet doesn't seem to want to stick.
