Character map bug (console exclusive?)
There's an interesting bug that only happens on the console versions of RE4 (Xbox and PS4/PS5 only afaik, haven't seen any reports of it on Nintendo Switch) where the game's character map will randomly appear on certain textures.

I'm a bit curious about this specific bug because it seems to just happen at complete random? It would be interesting to know what causes it and why it happens.
I initially planned on posting this on the re4_tweaks repository but felt that it belonged here instead. 😄
Edit: Another instance of it happening shown here: https://www.reddit.com/r/residentevil/comments/wrhq7w/anyone_else_got_this_glitch_in_re4/
This icon map texture is the "fallback" texture for the game, so it defaults to that when it can't read the texture that's supposed to be there. Pretty amusing seeing it happen on console versions though, as I was only able to trigger it on PC by modding the game :p
Ahh interesting! "Fallback" texture sounds about right. I still wonder why it only happens on console and not PC.
RE4 has some weird issues lol
