My character suddenly has a red light around him.

[droaan]

I'm using UP9.5.

I reached the mission where you hop aboard the Dane for Lacroix, and around the point where I hacked the computer I noticed my character was emitting a red glow. If you've played any Dark Souls games, you know what I mean. There is never true dark around me. In the dark, or light, I am throwing off a red area glow that can be seen at all times.
From third person, it sucks because my character is suddenly glowing around his head.

Has anyone experienced this glitch or know a fix?

I never heard that issue before but I probably know how to fix it. Open the console with the ~ key from the main menu and type "vamplight_enabled 0" into it.

Hey, you're the guy! Thanks for all you've done. I'm really enjoying this game, and I don't think I would have bothered had it not been lovingly worked on.
It's weird, I reloaded 8 earlier saves and they all had the glow, even though I only noticed the glow at the ship. Shut the game down, posted this, and maybe 2 hours later turned the game back on and the glow was gone. So it hasn't come back, but I believe it was a glitch with blood shield.
That said, if it comes back I will try this. Thanks man. You're a god.

Actually this is a feature of the plus patch connected to the Blood Shield: it should glow red when actvated but the glow should stop once the shield is deactivated...

Exactly! The glow persisted long after the shield had worn off, and only went away after shutting the game down and restarting.

I figured out how to fix this and why it happens.

Your shield was torn apart which just doesnt deactivate the glow.

Cast another shield then press F8 or whatever you reassigned Deactivate Discipline to.
