Just a quick question about health bars.

Can someone tell me what it means when my health bar has cracks on it?

At first I thought it was a debuff, but I have none under active effects except premium.
So then, I thought maybe my armor was broken so I ran into town and repaired, but no same cracked bar.
Because of it, the health bar stays visible at all times.

Your bars glow when that stat is being buffed, and crack when they are being de-buffed.

Short duration buffs are not showed into the 'active effects' (only long duration buffs like food, or 30mins buffs etc).
By the time you ran to repair guy your health bar should be normal by them, short buff/de-buff's doesn't last that long.

A cracked health bar is a Decreased Armor debuff, but it doesn't show in Active Effects because it's really short duration. You can read up on Status Effects in the Tutorials section of the Help menu, and there's a list of them at UESP.

Well, it has been an hour at least and the cracked health bar is still there. So it must be a glitch. It happened in Crow's Wood, and we left and did our crafting/repair, friend had a problem and reloaded went through queue. Made a burger, walked back into the room with the game, and my guy is still standing by the blacksmith with the cracked healthbar.

Update:

About another hour later, after ignoring it and completing dungeons/quests it finally went back to normal. Thanks everyone for replying. I'm sure now it was glitched because when I was in battle it was normal, and only while I wasn't in combat standing around it was cracked. I was on ps4.
