"black head" visual on character

[Sigmund ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Freud]

I recently changed up my cyberware a bunch and all of a sudden my character's head's skin is colored bluish black, reaches about below the neck and cuts off, the visual cyberware on the face is this glossy pure black and the hair is completely removed.

Tried reloading a save but it didn't fix it.

I don't actively run mods (used to run some very slight script mods and QoL in the same save but decided to run standard again after the updates constantly rendering them obsolete, disabling them did not cause any issues before)

Couldn't find any posts regarding what it could be online, has anyone encountered this?

Had a fully black head too with fully glowing red eyes. Thought it was some hidden feature though as I'm doing a 'bad guy' playthrough right now. This is all with a clean install with fresh settings files/saves and a very stable PC.

Don't know exactly how it looked for you but in my case it might have well been a hidden feature.

Prior to 1.62, people such as myself had a visual glitch, usually in cars, which caused NPCs eyes to literally glow. That went away and was replaced by this issue in addition to things like hair being lit incorrectly (lol the hair glows instead of the eyes... sometimes).

I've been playing this game a lot and never saw anything remotely like this bug until after 1.62. BUT HEY, AT LEAST THE GLOWING EYES ARE GONE.

All of these bugs seem related to specific kinds of lighting conditions.

They aren't. Fresh 1.62 install with fresh settings files and saves generated. However, I've only seen it in the inventory, and only once for a relatively short period. Imagine the entire head black as the abyss with eyes glowing bright blood red. Had that recently.

I'm thinking of issues with folks other than the player character.
I remember it being very severe in the car when you first meet Peralez.

Is that with RT/PT? I would avoid RT/PT as it is not how the game was intended to be viewed/played. It's even more obvious when you see how dark some areas are and there STILL not being a flashlight or something in the game.

nahh not like this, for some reason steam is failing to upload the screenshots (maybe cause i'm in the new UI beta but cba to revert) but it basically looks like the head is made of black plastic, the entire area the cyberware takes up (even the skin between stripes of metal) are just this glossy black that resembles an analog film material, the eyes are full white but don't glow and the hair is shaved, not completely gone.

Got it today, if you still somehow havent found an answer. Head to a ripper, i set a save at them. then i changed one thing on V, saved again, then restarted the game completely, quitting to desktop. Loading the save back in, it was fixed.

TLDR: Go to rippperdoc, change something on V, save, quit to desktop, load save.

I'm on ps5 got the same issue today, i think you only have to restart the game, like close it down an restart, worked for me at least, no need to change anything at an R-doc either. It apparently happens when playing for extended periods, which i have (almost 12 hrs)
