Black texture on some characters and objects

I do have some odd black textures applied on zombies and traders.
I am on manjaro linux and use glcore on xorg. Nvidia card.
There was a similar report on the steam discussions and the guy told that it doesn't occur with Vulkan.
I cannot test this solution as I am not able to get past the splash screen with vulkan.
 
Reproduction Steps
Just by launching the game and by browsing the profiles, the odd textures are present on half the character profiles.

To add a little more data

Version V 2.0 b285
Platform Linux (Ubuntu 24.04)
Graphics Card MSI GeoForce RTX 4060 (8GB)

The problem exists only with glcore. With Vulkan everything works
 
Not all equipment have the bug, the enforcer outfit (female) does not have the bug and Jen looks fine.
The new desert and frost biome monsters look ok, so does the mutated, but every other zombie is dressed in pitch-black.

This is how trader Bob look:

This is a small update for version 2.0 Stable regarding the texture of the character. The Marauder and Desert Outfit skins are displayed correctly. The textures of the Hoarder skin's helmet, gloves, and shoes are okay. However, the outfit is displayed completely black.

This is a known issue with GL core, for those of you on Linux swap over to Vulkan for now. Thanks for the information though

I'm on arch linux, how do I switch to Vulkan? I looked all over steam settings and don't see any options about OpenGL or Vulkan, checjed graphics settings in the game, tried adding -vulkan to the game launcher but have no clue what I'm doing and still see the missing textures.

Open your Steam Library, Right click the game's title and select Properties.

On the General tab you'll find Launch Options section. Set it either to "Show game launcher" or "Ask when starting game". Start the game and select the launcher. In the game launcher you can switch the renderer from "GLCore" to "Vulkan".

Vulcan is very choppy (at least on on my system) so that's not a great solution.

Yeah it wildly depends on what distro and what flavor of GPU driver you're using when it comes to Linux. On the official closed source nvidia driver with the 1060 on my test bench I use for linux on Ubuntu 22 lts Vulkan runs great as it does on the steam deck too, but I've heard others on different GPU drivers/distros have the opposite
