weird red tint on skyrim logo and loading screens
Haven't been on in a while and I loaded up and my Skyrim logo is like a red color. Also the loading screens have this weird red tint too and Idk why? The only mods I've downloaded since last time ( about 1.5 months ago) are UIextentions and Additem menu. Does anyone have any idea what this is caused by or how to fix it?

oh geez, I used the saveini command in game the other day, perhaps that was it. If so, how should I go about fixing that? Just the same thing you mentioned with moving or deleting them from the directory? And finally, would i need to delete all the .ini files or just the Skyrim.ini and SkyrimPrefs.ini?

Thank you for explaining

saveini creates a ini file in the data folder with the name of the last loaded plugin, in my example here it was XPMSE > https://imgur.com/a/YEvOhE8

if you find an ini file in your data folder which a name from a mod then delete this one, if you would open it then you would see all the settings in the game.

No!

No Load Order (and the mods that don't appear in Load Orders like texture and ENB mods) means we have no clue.
Also if you've updated any mods it could be one of them.


PS. If you post your Load Order plus any Mods that you have that don't appear in your LO, also tell people what Mod manager you are using.

Jesus christ, you guys and your mod lists from heck!

Honestly, the best thing to do is see if LOOT can find any errors, but if that doesn't work you will just have to do the tried and true method of disabling mods and seeing if you can pinpoint one that is causing the problem.

Are you using any ENBs? Sometimes if the settings aren't good it may cause weirdness with your graphics. I recommend checking any ENBs you may have installed, and disabling any mod that has to do with graphics/graphical interface.

yeah I agree the mod list is a bit much, but it has had 0 issues since using it, other than some performance. This literally just happened out of the blue.Like I haven't played in a month or so and I loaded up and the logo was reddish and same with loading screens but in game was fine. I haven't switched ENB's either so I don't think that would be the issue.
Thanks though for your suggestions

Sure its not a graphics driver issue maybe? Has the been updated recently? Maybe a new card installed?

Hadn't though of that. I haven't updated my driver since late may but I may try updating now since there is a new one. Perhaps that'll fix it.
Thanks for that suggestion!
Unfortunately no new card, waiting until the new ones are released to see the new selection.

Ok, not seeing anything that jumps out.

I'll list the ones I've seen in lists before, which means it's probably not them, because I've not heard of red colouring on the logo before.

Also noticed a couple with RED in the name like RED FLAME, which might be worth checking that they are not colouring other textures.

okay so as for checking those mods, I very much appreciate it. With regards to red flame, it's just a dungeon mod with a vampire theme so I'm not too sure if that would affect anything but I suppose it is worth a shot nonetheless.

Anyway, I did some troubleshooting. First I disabled UIextesions and Additem menu because the problem happened after adding those. No luck, still red.
Then I tried disabling my ENB and still no luck. Then disabled ENB series and ENB helper and still no luck. I then re-enabled all 5 mods and, well no luck either lol. I'm still not entirely sure how this happened since it happened seemingly randomly.

If themain menu/ loading screens are the only problematic areas, I will just live w that because disabling all mods seems much more a waste of time than anything. However, I will first switch to another mod profile with no mods on it except for some essentials that allow me into game quickly and such, and see if the tint is gone.

check your data folder of skyrim and make sure that there is no duplicate of Skyrim.ini or SkyrimPrefs.ini
as far as I can tell there is not a duplicate.
I have Skyrim.ini and SkyrimPrefs.ini as well as Skyrim.ini.baked and base and the same for skyrimprefs, as well as Skyrim.ini.BethINIbackup and same thing for prefs.

red tinted logo and loading screens are the cause of problems with the settings files, either having the wrong settings or having duplicates, therefore one of the following often helps:
  • delete, or move them out of the folder, the setting files in your My Games\ Skyrim SE\ directory and let the skyrim launcher generate new ones
  • if you used the saveini command within the game, the game will create a settings file but will use the last plugin loaded as name - that was I meant in my post above.

Ok, sorry, I saw the name and thought it was one of those mods that affects fire colour. Feel free to disregard that comment.

oh geez, I used the saveini command in game the other day, perhaps that was it. If so, how should I go about fixing that? Just the same thing you mentioned with moving or deleting them from the directory? And finally, would i need to delete all the .ini files or just the Skyrim.ini and SkyrimPrefs.ini?

Thank you for explaining

Hey, no worries! I appreciate you looking so closely regardless. Thanks again!

saveini creates a ini file in the data folder with the name of the last loaded plugin, in my example here it was XPMSE > https://imgur.com/a/YEvOhE8

if you find an ini file in your data folder which a name from a mod then delete this one, if you would open it then you would see all the settings in the game.
