I use the 3d model for my player frame, and every time I jump down from skyhold on my warrior, the model flashes like crazy, like it's picked up the animation effect the fireball the warriors get hurled into on the way down, or something. If I remove and replace my helm, the 3d model updates correctly. But if I don't do this, it flashes indefinitely until I hit another loading screen. 

Not sure what to do about this, it's a side effect of models now being able to show spell effects. There's no way to know when visual effects change  so there's no good way to know when to update the 3D portrait.

The landing effect for warriors leaving Skyhold is probably the biggest culprit, so I may just end up hard coding fix for that occurrence.

If you ever find a fix or want to test on another class, hunter's tame beast leaves a spell effect behind as well. Not that I am asking to fix this just that there is another for you if you need to know

Models went back to ignoring spell effects so this is no longer an issue
