Lightsaber Bug

[KeyG]

The game is freshly installed on Steam, but it's an old save game. No mods are installed!

If you switch weapons does it stay that way? Does it happen if you load the game from the start of the level rather than a checkpoint or manual save?

It's only with the lightsaber, even death or other points don't help.

I know this bug, but I came across it in JA.
This happens if you added new files into game base folder and used the old Save. In you case – you installed a new game and used save files from a different game build/version/installation file. The effect would be the same. I had this problem, when I loaded older saves with new files, affecting the game, like an updated Player model. Thus the lightsaber was misplaced.

The only way I could fix that was either using a console and a cheat (in JA this was 'playermodel Player', or 'playermodel jedi_hm1', depending on the model used), or by loading a map via a console 'map mapname' (in both cases this could affect your Force powers, weapons and inventory). Not sure if this can be fixed by other means.
