Wierd crew glitch when depthcharged

[thefretmaster]

hey all. i searched for this but couldnt find any references.
when my boat gets hit by anything that causes the lights to flicker in the controll room, my crew ,look odd when the lights come back.
it looks like all the highlights on them have truned black so bits of them are like they have a solid black texture

anyone come across this?
