NPCs have no facial animation when talking to the player, anyone else having this?

Is anyone also having this issue? NPCs at settlements such as guards, workers etc dont have facial animations when talking to me. However npcs at stations such as mission givers and shopkeepers are working properly. Kinda weird and immersion breaker when a guard asks to scan you but his mouths doesnt move while he speaks :|

I have the same issue I think since update 6, I ignored it as a bug that would soon be fixed, but it persisted after update 7.
On the first months of Odyssey they worked fine, but one day every single NPC started talking without moving the mouth.
 
My NPCs are messed up too: They either don't talk at all - just throwing their hands as if in conversation or some move their lips but they don't say anything.

Your issue expired. Please add contribution to this


 
I generally only have it with Apex shuttle pilots. The NPCs in settlements and stations worked fine. I haven't tested it after Patch/Update 7 though, as I assume there may be server-side fixes going on.

you didn't have time to publish the problem as it has already expired ...
With such a "wonderful and sensitive" attitude to the problems of the players, the Elite will really fly into a black hole and can drag the frontiers with them if they do not overcome.

Also I noticed that this isssue depend on localzation. If I use my native, non English localization - NPC is dumb. In original - their speech is animated.

I experience the same issue (no lip movement), in the English and German version. I opened a new issue report yesterday, since the previous one had expired: https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/42837
 
Mine talk with lips moving. In all the glory 27 frames per second can offer.
Ooh, better frame rate than cinema or multi-million dollar shows on TV! If it's not during shooting fights, does it matter? You're complaining when some people get 9-12 fps in stations, less than a third of yours.
