I ran into an interesting problem with the Steam version of DP. I don't know if this affects the GOG version of the game, but just in case it does, I'm putting this here:
You'll likely have noticed that, rather than having all of York's addon suits as separate items in-game, you can instead only choose one at a time, which replaces the Workaholic suit from the base game. Personally, I prefer to stick with plain old Workaholic for sentimental reasons. The problem I ran into is, after opening the suit addon menu and selecting Workaholic (rather than just backing out without making a selection), I ended up with a suit with the name, description and (lack of) effect of Workaholic, but the appearance of the Happy Songkran suit.
As it turns out, there are two versions of Workaholic in the game: One in the base game files, and one in the addons. If you choose Workaholic from the addon menu, you're not disabling the addons and going to base-Workaholic, you're enabling addon-Workaholic. The trouble is, due to an oversight, the addon-Workaholic files contain the Happy Songkran textures.
If you run into this problem and want to use base-Workaholic again, it's simple enough to do: Go to the "addon" folder in your DP directory, and remove all of the .dlc files with SUIT in the name. Don't touch the subfolders, and don't delete the .dlc files, just move them to another folder so the game can't locate them. Run the game and load your save, and it will have defaulted back to base-Workaholic. When you next exit the game, you can safely move the .dlc files back. It'll still stay as base-Workaholic until you choose a different suit from the addon menu.
