Did Patch 1.62 reintroduce the No Damage Bug?

[max_da_killah]

I started a new game after the 1.62 patch and a couple of hours in, shortly after I completed the Heist, my weapons (melee, ranged, quickhacks, all of them) randomly started to do excactly zero damage.
While having white and red 0s pop up with every hit was kinda funny for 5s or so, it makes the game essentialy unplayable. So I googled the problem and found out that it was apperently a thing that occasionaly happened two years ago. But hey, at least there is a solution for it, right? Turns there where quite a few suggestions for fixing it: simply saving and restarting the game, changing difficulty or deleting unneeded save files.
The last one was the one that initially worked for me, so I continued playing until a few hours later it happened again but this time nothing helped. No matter which save I load, all my weapons do no damage, only stealth takedowns and the System Reset quickhack can take down oponents.

So my first and most pressing question is: Is there a reliable way to fix this bug?
The second is how the ♥♥♥♥ did CPP:R manage to miss this during testing of patch? And since I have over 200h of playtime on 1.60 (started on that) and 1.61 without encountering the problem once I'm pretty sur it was reintroduced it with the latest patch.

1. Have you gone around to different enemies (and non-enemies maybe lol) to see if the issue applies everywhere?
2. Are you using ANY mods? This includes CET (cyberpunk engine tweaks).

I installed CET (overwriting an older version) shortly before 1.62 came out and some random Animals in Pacifica started taking zero damage. I uninstalled CET cleanly and left the area before returning and the problem was gone.

I have had this and I don't use any mod that changes the damage levels. I use three mods, CET, Rescript and no radios. Usually I get it when I have killed some bad guys and they respawn.

I have not entered any command that changes anything about the bad guys.

re 1:
The issue was global, or at least extended to hostile NPCs, Cops and civilians in Little China, Kabuki, Watson, NID, Japantown and Downtown (didn't test it anywhere else).

re 2:
I do use some mods (model & texture replacer for the wrench & kukri, CET, redscrip, cybercmd (u know, the essentials), virtual car dealer, the R34 GTR (both version), BMW M3, grimlock's FiveSeven) and have all of those updated for 1.62. And the game worked just fine for a while.


But I came accross a another suggestion for fixing the issue from 2020, that I hadn't seen before creating the original post.
And that was to remove all clothing. Sounds kinda stupid but wouldn't you know, as soon as V was naked I could deal damage again. Put the clothes back on and it was back to zero damage.
That got me thinking what excactly changed about my clothes between the last time I definitly could cause damage and the first time I noticed the problem. The answer is that I found a "Bully" clothes mod in some random container and installed it on my pants.
Replacing that with an "Armadillo" fixed the issue.

I’d review Your mod list, sounds like You’ve installed a mod that changes cyberware.

There are a few made by Ti200 (enhanced clothing mods,legendary cyberware collection and legendary cyberware MODS collection) that are not currently updated for the latest CET and cause this exact problem You are describing and is known to the mod author in the sticky post on all these mods pages on nexus.

I will say that I've encountered a certain group of enemies I can't damage in Pacifica and I haven't gotten the problem to go away. I don't use mods.
