I tried to make a sign with the following message:
"SAVE Kingsley. THWART the Dread. WIN the War. BECOME the Shield of Sanctuary. Take on the black of the honorable Councilor Vaughan. Join the Armigers today and be the heroes Sanctuary needs!"
Tried it twice, and when I put down the sign, it just said "Merchants Shingle". The description of the sign in my inventory read the message perfectly, but when placed both times, it didn't have the message.
Have you tried leaving the area and returning? Sometimes it only becomes visible after that is done.
.. which I suppose is another kind of bug.
I'm seethingly embarrassed to admit that fixed the 'problem'. <_____<
It's a known issue.
I'm wondering if it just grabs the labels for placeables once, when the item is first examined or when you first enter the area, and saves it like that until the next time you enter the area. Would save resources I guess rather than have every player having every label on every object updating every few seconds when these labels don't change outside of specific scripting.
