THE RED MENACE

Even if it looks badass, it is still a bug !

THE GLORIOUS FIX

To wipeout this reddish color from the menu & loading screens,

=> Go in the Skyrim/Data folder
=> Delete the last .ini file created (it will have the name of a mod).

You can easily find it by sorting files per "Date Modified"

or delete the following lines inside of it :

rUIMistMenu_AmbientZPosRGB=0,0,0 rUIMistMenu_AmbientZNegRGB=0,0,0 rUIMistMenu_AmbientYPosRGB=0,0,0 rUIMistMenu_AmbientZPosRGB=0,0,0 rUIMistMenu_AmbientXPosRGB=0,0,0 rUIMistMenu_AmbientXNegRGB=0,0,0 rUIMistMenu_AmbientZPosRGB=0,0,0 rUIMistMenu_AmbientXPosRGB=0,0,0 rUIMistMenu_AmbientYPosRGB=0,0,0 rUIMistMenu_AmbientYNegRGB=0,0,0 rUIMistMenu_AmbientXPosRGB=0,0,0 rUIMistMenu_AmbientYPosRGB=0,0,0

[Thanks @Heartbeat-Pete]

If the .ini is elsewhere, for instance in a mod manager folder

1 - Open the console : “Windows+r"

cmd

2 - Look up the issuing lines location

findstr /S /I /C /C: “rUIMistMenu_AmbientZPosRGB” *.ini

or in a specific folder :

findstr /S /I /C /C: “rUIMistMenu_AmbientZPosRGB” "c:\specific\Folder\For\Mod\Manager\*.ini"

3 - Remove those lines of code that have screwed up our modification masterpiece.

[Thanks @VeyonTwo]

Et Voilà !

Hi @VeyonTwo, i added your contribution to the guide, thank you

maybe it is a little late to re-open this topic, but the problems at the end appear to the most veteran as the newest in this kind of things, I have seen that many people give up when they can not find the .ini file that was created after the error of making “saveini” in the console, here I leave you what I did after hours in the early morning of following forums and forums, in the end GPT is the best helper you can have if you are desperate:

1- Open the windows CMD “windows+r and search cmd”.
2- Go to the folder where you have the mods manager (MO2 in my case I have it in “C:/modding/MO2”)
3- Type the following once you are in the folder from the CMD terminal:
“findstr /S /I /C /C: “rUIMistMenu_AmbientZPosRGB” *.ini”
(This allows the system to search in a fast and optimal way in all the lines of code of the .ini files that you have lodged in this folder).
4- Remove those lines of code that have screwed up our modification masterpiece.

No problem, yeah it's a display bug.

You’re welcome! And thanks for the mention.

I just noticed Steam messed up my post (at least on mobile) and created 12 lines instead of 6. It should be 3 XYZ Pos and 3 XYZ Neg lines only.

rUIMistMenu_AmbientZPosRGB=0,0,0 rUIMistMenu_AmbientZNegRGB=0,0,0

So these lines with AmbientX, AmbientY and AmbientZ. Let’s hope it doesn’t duplicate it again.

Thanks @Heartbeat-Pete i updated the guide with your advice.

Actually, just delete the following lines in that ini file and you're done:

rUIMistMenu_AmbientZPosRGB=0,0,0 rUIMistMenu_AmbientZNegRGB=0,0,0 rUIMistMenu_AmbientYPosRGB=0,0,0 rUIMistMenu_AmbientZPosRGB=0,0,0 rUIMistMenu_AmbientXPosRGB=0,0,0 rUIMistMenu_AmbientXNegRGB=0,0,0
rUIMistMenu_AmbientZPosRGB=0,0,0 rUIMistMenu_AmbientXPosRGB=0,0,0 rUIMistMenu_AmbientYPosRGB=0,0,0 rUIMistMenu_AmbientYNegRGB=0,0,0 rUIMistMenu_AmbientXPosRGB=0,0,0 rUIMistMenu_AmbientYPosRGB=0,0,0

Deleting the whole ini file will probably disable the mod.

If you continue to have trouble finding it, just type ".ini" into the search bar in the data folder, then look for the date and delete that file.

For those who are wondering, yes this fix does work with enderal.
