Text On Screen Won't Go Away

[Dark Spark]

After installing Skyrim and Dragonborn onto my new laptop I started a new game to see how it runs. Though a bit slow, at least the laptop didn't catch fire. But a strange cosmetic glitch happened soon as the wagon ride came to an end. Soon as the ride stopped and the first savegame was recorded the words "Level Up" appeared in the lower right quadrant of the screen.

Mind you, this is the opening scene before you can even fashion your character. The character isn't going to level-up at this time. And, as it turns out, neither do you actually get to level-up the character once you get control inside Helgen Keep. The words simply hang there, off to the lower right, and never go away. All through the breakout of Helgen I'm being bothered by the sight of these two little words that stick around on my screen. Even when I finally earned enough experience to level-up the character and spent my first points there, the words "Level Up" refused to disappear from the lower part of the screen.

The laptop is running the game at 3840x2160 resolution. I suspect that text of this sort might have been there in previous versions, but the resolution may have finally provided enough visual "real estate" to include something that normally was maintained off-screen.

Has anyone encountered extraneous text in their HUD while playing at UHD resolutions? Is there a way to knock this text off the screen?

You can try removing it in the 'Translate_ENGLISH.txt' file in the Data/Interface folder.
Apparently, if you replace the "LEVEL UP" text (not "$LEVEL UP" ) with an empty space it should get rid of the text.

Yep, that did the trick.

Thread necromancy I know, but do any of the above posters still come here and do you see this (hoping they get an e-mail notification of a reply or something).

I'm having this same issue, have tried the fixes and it's causing me a lot of grief. This is what I posted to Steam:

Hey, thanks for reading.

I have a favour to ask.

I have just bought a beast of a gaming machine and it's my first 4k system with a 4k monitor. I'm having a rather common (according to Google at least) but irritating issue. The words 'LEVEL UP' are permanently showing up in the game world and won't go away. From Googling, it's either a Skyrim UI or NVidia problem. Here is a pic:

I read that it's to do with higher resolutions, the UI and NVidia, and I followed the recommended fix by removing 'LEVEL UP' from the line in the Translate_English file as recommended here on the Steam forums and here on Reddit:

^ ^ This fix works, but it causes other issues. When you press tab to enter the menu, the words 'LEVEL UP' for the option at the top are gone. When you also hit max XP for your level and the bar turns blue and plays the level up sound, the words 'LEVEL UP' are also missing. So, in short, this fix does remove the words from the world screen, but it also removes all other 'LEVEL UP(s)' everywhere else.

The mod available on Nexus is out of date and does the same thing effectively, so it causes the same side effects.

I found an obscure solution on another website, where someone made a custom plugin for another user. I copied the dll file to my data folder and, when that didn't work, I pasted it to my SKSE - Plugins folder instead. That too didn't work. It fixed the scaling issues (of the health-magicka-stamina bit when levelling up) as shown in the original posters screenshots, but it did not fix my perma-'LEVEL UP' on screen issue . The plugin suggestion is here:

I'm desperate. I'm so OCD that playing with either the 'LEVEL UP' on screen, or the removal of the 'LEVEL UP' from the menu, both cause me great irritation. I'm using a 3840 x 2160 resolution on a 28" Iiyama 4k monitor with a 6GB MSI GTX 980Ti Gaming Graphics Card.

Please, does anyone know how to fix this without screwing up the menu?

Thanks for your time.

Just to add, I just finished reinstalling the game minus mods. I literally deleted each mod manually, even went as far as to uninstall NMM and remove its folders, rebooted and reinstalled Skyrim from scratch via Steam. The issue persists so it's not mod related either :'(.
