Skyrim SE Green Glows (Needs Research)

[Guest]

So we need some clever person who know about INIs perhaps to have a look into this bug. I have noticed turning 'Blending' off under the NIF alpha fixes it, and it doesn't happen with the normal blending modes. The normal blending modes don't work though for the soft water effect of foam. I don't have any time to go beyond that testing at the moment.

My friend frogprincessQ4 said this also:
 

When I disabled "Screen Space Reflections" the green glow is gone. There is probably a .ini fix for that, but you can also go into the launcher --> advanced and uncheck the box there.

So I am assuming this is caused by a bad interaction between the alpha blending and SSR. Here is an image:



This is a vanilla bug as it has been reported to happen with the default game from quite a few people. If you want to try reproduce it, just go to Solsteim and look at the animated hand-placed waves; or load my WATER mod as they are everywhere in Skyrim.

I'm just putting this out there as the chances Bethesda will fix this are possibly low.

UPDATE:

I have fixed this for my WATER mod. Well it's not fixed for the vanilla game, but I have used the different method of using an effects shader instead of a normal one.

 

UPDATE 2: You can fix it a lot easier by turning the 'Specular' shader off on the problematic block.

Cool. FYI, Gopher said he'll be looking at water overhauls for SE in one of his next videos. Be on the lookout for it!

I also quickly fixed the green wave bug. I identified the block that was causing the issue and made it use the proper effect shader block by default. I'm sure Gopher will probably use an outdated version, as I always change my mind a lot. ;)

Hana can be contacted on Nexus under the name "Hanaisse" for future reference.

Okay, I fixed this on Sunday by going through the shaders one by one and turning them off. The first shader which was 'Specular' on the shader list actually worked. It seems to be that 'Environment Mapping' shaders can't have specular enabled, otherwise it seems to clash with the SSR.

 

I didn't try it the first time as it seemed stupid and that it wouldn't work. It surprising only took me 5 minutes to fix it then.
