Please don't tear my head off as I see this has been discussed far and wide over the internet but I don't see anything as far as recent possible fixes, so I feel this is a the best place to get a clear answer. I have issues with transparent hilts, to give some context on Duxton just built the light saber and was in the process of going to Onderon (no other planets have been completed). Probably doesn't matter too much but point is this i the first time in this playthrough I got the lightsaber built and I noticed the issue. As far as I could tell the lightsaber hilt from sith scenes and your encounter with Atris worked fine so don't know if this is an issue with players hilts, all hilts, etc. Guess I'll find out more in time on that....
I'm about 20 hours into this playthrough so like I am NOT trying to do anything that will involve restarting the game but I am just now seeing that installing everything from the workshop is ill advised (I have RCM + M4 that was just released), but we're already there solutions would be preferable, but I will move forward with ghost hilts if needs be as ridiculous as it looks. I tried that ini fix thing, didn't work. I saw the discussions on switching to the legacy version but like that would pretty much be a redo of everything no? Saves files probably wouldn't work period i assume, but correct me if I am wrong.
I also unbsubbed from everything, worth mentioning aside from RCM pretty much literally everything is visual related which from my understanding are usually safe with RCM, no lightsaber mods of any kind), the only exterior sourced mods were the AI Icon upconvserion mod and similarly the cutscence up-conversion mod. So the only mod left was RCM. I tried to troubleshoot by unisntalling RCM (through steam) and making sure all my overides folders and such were cleared but obv at that point you have a save file associated with RCM which I already knew wasn't going to work. Guess worth mentioning I can uninstall everything with the exception of RCM and play just fine, albeit with the ghost hilts. Not saying it's in fact an issue with the mod, but after more or less doing a soft reinstall (unsubbing from all mods, deleting content folders, override folder contents etc.) and then reinstalling (from steam) RCM + m4 and still seeing the issue I am not sure where else to go. Worth mentioning BEFORE reinstalling through steam I did try the autoinstaller (TSLRCM 186b), got the sith lord restored menu etc. but a crash on load. While I am not opposed to following what I would agree now is the proper wisdom of using the patcher and other tools as featured in the forums, I want to salvage my save file, so that is what is this about really about haha.
