PC flashes white when hit- bug

[DanielShougun]

Like the title says, my pc flashes white when she gets hit.

 

I haven't installed any new mods. I've tested my saves and found a point were she doesn't flash but at the next save point she does regardless of whats in her inventory. Her stats and active spells are the same between the two saves. There is virtually no difference between the two other than the fact that every save after that point she flashes when hit.

 

 

Other than restarting from the good save point, I'm not sure how to attack this problem. Any ideas?

Looks like a regular "reflect" effect to me. Do you happen to wear any items or be affected by any spells or abilities, even scripted ones maybe, with a reflect effect? It doesn't happen in 100% of cases, as the chance is a configurable value of the spell effect itself, but when your damage gets reflected back to your attacker, that's what it looks like.

 

... Or at least I think it looked that way when I last encountered such an effect on me. It's been some years now, so I could as well be terribly mistaken. Or it could be an effect along the same or similar lines. It definitely is a magic effect though, this I'm sure about. Just don't know 100% which one.

So basiclly I can just open up the CS and edit the reflect visual effect and it should be alright. I'll give it a shot. Thanks

Hmm, you could do that, but that would screw up the effect itself. Why not first trying to find out where it's coming from and simply taking off the ring/amulet/whatever which is protecting you this way? Though if it's an ability this is coming from, getting rid of it could prove more difficult.

 

It is not a bug but a magic effect that is affecting you at the moment is what I'm saying. There's unlikely anything to fix and rather normal, ingame, ways to get rid of it.

I could be mistaken though, like I said.

I found that it was coming from the resist normal weapons effect. The problem is that the effect was added via a class expansion mod which I really like and don't want to get rid of. So I went ahead and edited the shader effect but not the spell. But.... it seems that that shader was covering up another one from a different enchant I have, so now I flash red. *sigh* Hopefully its from an item I'm wearing so I can just take it off like you suggested.

 

Thanks for your help.

Uh, just hope you'll not end up flashing in all spectral colors one after the other... :sweat:

 

Well, sounds to me that class expansion comes with a lot of fancy protection spells on you now.

You could start by figuring out what they are and then mod away all their effect shaders. Sounds tedious though, so good luck!
