Everyone that is starting to play with there Skyrim INI WILL have this problem. If you generate the monster INI you will have a Red Dragon.

Took me hours and hours to find the answer.
Fix red logo:

Remove those lines from your INI.

Since you are here you may or may not have noticed the Map is messed up. But I can help with that also...

Fix map uglies:
Remove these to fix the map.

Have fun playing. I am trying to Do both ...test the INI and Play...lol

EDIT: 2/25/2012 as this keeps getting dragged up from the Depths..If you have the Red logo..the Fixes still work, the problem now is that Bethesda changed the save path for the Generated INI. it is NOW saved in the "DATA" folder. Another oddity is that it can assume the name of one of your mods, (usually last loading mod). it will still have the INI extension so is easy to find...look for a INI file that is around 41k in size. You can have more then one INI file now, the game will read the one in the DATA directory, along with the one in the My docs folder. You can either edit out the offending lines and use the monster INI , or just delete it.

I am STILL using the monster INI file .. I Play 8 - 15 hour sessions...

Confirmed. This works!

Bump for a nice discovery.

Hi, Thanks Z

This bothered me to no end...lol

You da man! Red logo and map is fixed! I was wondering wtf I did to screw it up.

Edit to make OP easier to read.

And your Welcome...

It worked for me. Thank you so so much!

Thanks man, it worked like a charm, but do you know why this happened? At first I though it was the Hircine's ring curse that made things bloody-coloured, but I see not...

Thanks.

This only showed up for me when I Generated an INI from the game console. I think this also happens if you use the "Do not argue" Generated INI . I have not confirmed this .

anybody can help me how do i replace these files or get to it? im new to this >.<

Go to C:\Users\YourUser\Documents\My Games\Skyrim and edit Skyrim.ini with notepad or any text editor. Remove the mentioned text lines and save the document.

Greetings.

I should have put this in the Mod section. but guess it works in either forum. I have seen people tell others to fix this by changing the values to be all"255" magic pink. that could in turn cause problems. so Bumping this as to the True Fix for this problem.

Read the OP. I am still using my 1400+ lines (generated INI). 41k as compared to the Original @ 41 lines 4k I have no problems as of yet. The game runs for hours on end. Longest run so far is 15 hours. I got good sleep last night I wonder if i can break that record!!

It's been in the forum for a couple hours but things fly across here so fast there's no way in hell more than a few people will ever see most things before there's a new page.

What we badly need is a single sticky covering the huge list of things we're digging up that can be updated over time. This way everyone has a single post they can go reference first:

Edited:
Changed wording to reflect the intent

It is reading my docs folder. I edited out the lines causing the red dragon and all is normal again.

I've tried your fixes - 1. The red one didn't work for me for some weird reason
2. How to fix the map problem if those lines of code never existed in the ini in the first place?

I'm just going to grin and bear it for the moment - It doesnt really affect how much I enjoy the game itself.

Thanks for looking into these issues,

Hi,
I edited the OP the fixes still work you need to find the proper file...

RE cap...if for some reason you "saveini" in the console you will have a Red Logo on start screens...the fixes still work , the file has been saved in the DATA directory now....Check the OP, or the links in my SIG.

Have fun, I am...2 580's in SLI and Skyrim happy loading me 6 GB VRAM!

Cheers bud - I had no idea that it would take the guise of one of my mods - that's what stumped me!

Can confirm it works now: Thanks again!
