Swords invisible how to fix?
Half my swords are invisible and this also goes for stuff like vesemirs blade and the little dagger you use when you're beheading a creature. Here are a few photos to illustrate

Are you using any mods?

Bro no. I checked the previous posts and its all the same reply as well. Apparently this happens after you start a new game that isnt ng+ after finishing the game once. I'm kind of appalled that no one gives two ♥♥♥♥♥ about this even though it seems like a common enough issue.
I fixed it by verifying game integrity, it restored 3 files.

I started a new game that wasn't NG+ and the only one so far that has had a sword problem was a bit with Lambert. We went back after killing the vampire and he had one sword in the cut scene. He then had two swords after he killed/murder the guy for info and he and G. talk about meeting up at the Seven cat's inn.

I have noticed that when I manage to put away my sword right before a cut scene, abandoned village stuff, that when the cut scene finishes of villagers returning, I have my hand at my side like I'm still holding a sword. Until I fast travel it stays like that.

I take it fast traveling or jumping to another different map location (Novigrad to White Orchard) doesn't clear the graphics?

Edit to add: Nm you got it fixed :)

My problem is that most swords are invisible forever, mostly witcher blades, plus some extra like ciris blade, vesemirs blade, the little knife you use to gather monster trophies, etc. I'm still not sure what it is exactly that caused it, but i didnt have it in my first playthrough. So its not a temporary thing, if its invisible, its invisible forever, and its not random either (if a sword is visible once its not going to bug out, and vice versa)

Now im not sure but i believe the problem is caused by multiple save files. Like i said, this mostly affected the witcher swords and in my completed game i had only witcher swords in my cache. I guess something went wrong with recovering the skins for the second playthrough that wasnt ng+, but verifying game integrity did solve everything, including the npc swords.

Still, thanks for taking the time to answer
