Hi everyone - I have a very specific problem and I'm having trouble figuring out what to do about it. So I'm still near the beginning of KOTOR 2 (just left Telos), and I keep running into an issue that I've narrowed down to being with the force cages. I've put the details at the bottom of this post but basically, when I'm on a map that has a force cage on it, turning my camera to face that direction tanks my frame rate, no matter where I am on the map, and no matter if the cage is on or off. It's fine if I'm not facing that specific direction, but that usually ends up with me running sideways and backwards into the camera, and generally I prefer being able to see where I'm going.
I guess I'd just like to know what my options are to fix this, and whether this is an issue with the force cage models themselves or the textures that run when the cages are on - or even something else entirely. I have TSLRCM installed through Steam, but that's it. Ideally I'd prefer a simpler fix of course, but I don't mind having to put in some extra work, even modding the game myself, if that's what it takes to fix this. I've listed everything I've done up to this point in spoiler tags below.
I'd really appreciate any help at all - I've pretty much exhausted everything I could think to do personally, and it wouldn't even be that huge a deal if this weren't my first playthrough, as I'd like to have the best experience possible. Thank you in advance for any ideas!
