I first wanted to put this in the Mods section, but after doing a clean New game without blood mods present whatsoever, I noticed I have this in Vanilla so that's why I'm starting this here.

OK, I have this small annoying issue. I'm guessing I didn't notice this before since the original timer for the blood decals is small and the Decals themselves are small too.

After installing Enhanced Blood textures, this started showing because that makes the decals more visible. What's this?
Well, when getting hit, my character gets blood decals on the body. If I wait for the timer to run out and for the decals to fade away, everything works great! But if I don't wait for them to fade and transition to a new area (exterior-interior) they get stuck on the character.

Sure, un-equipping/re-equipping the armor removes the decals visually, but they are still registered as present somehow, because I won't get any new ones.
I can easily fix this by saving/loading but it really bugs me...

I have tried any possible combination, completely delete the .inis and let the game generate new ones + start a NEW game without any trace of the mod and it's still there.
In regards to the .inis, my only edit about decals is the lifetime changed to 120 seconds. I tried with 60 seconds...the same.

The game is patched to the latest version (not that I could stop it from doing so anyway since this is a first install on a new PC so I let Steam do its thing )

****
Please note that I searched thoroughly for this issue on the forums/google etc. It was a bit of a pain since most entries turned up the "Blood on the Ice" quest...

If anyone has any pointers on what I should do/edit, please help!
Also, tell me if I should post my .inis.

Thank you!
