Can't see any PC or NPC models, only the weapons they're holding

[Ooloo]

So I got the last patch a few days ago when it came out, same process as always, everything was working fine.

Today I log in and all I can see in character select are the weapons my various toons are holding. It doesn't say any of my files are out of date, I can log in, I just can't see anything other than the zone itself and weapons being held by npcs and pcs. Everyone looks like a shadowed man. If somebody isn't holding any weapons I can't see them at all, other than their floating name.

I tried reinstalling the patch, which didn't work, and nothing else has changed or been installed or updated on the computer. I think they enabled an XP bonus for thanksgiving weekend, not that it should have done this.

Any ideas, or just do a full re-install?
