I think the only reasonable explanation at this point is that my game is cursed lol

Yeah, I really don’t know the cause. I just looked through all my mods and game files again to see if by any chance I missed an extra blood overhaul mod or something but came up empty handed. I was under the impression that this blood spatter was added when they updated for next gen and added extra effects. So you’re saying you’ve never seen this on your side?

I believe the artifacts are referring to some small patches on the leather pieces that are oversaturated- I also know for a fact that it’s not just this armor, because on my last unmodded play through I encountered the same thing while exclusively wearing the vanilla grandmaster cat armor. The blood seems to get applied to Geralt when taking damage as well as after killing enemies.

I wish it was that easy haha, I don’t use any blood mods, and I did experience this in vanilla as well.

This has been driving me nuts. Taking damage in game results in a big ugly low res glitched blood spatter texture front and center on Geralt's torso (see attached image). Maybe I'm not searching the right way but I can't find any mod or information on how to turn this off altogether. Anyone know? (I tried changing the DecalChance modifier in the user.settings file but that didn't fix the problem. I'm not very knowledgeable about creating mods or editing files lol)
