Gabby2805 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 As you can see, I have an issue with shadows on walls & rocks. A stripey/liney texture appears which moves when I move and disappears when I am close enough.. I have had this problem for a long time. I thought it might be something to do with either my skyrim settings or nvidia (graphics card) settings.. can anyone help me?

woodtick Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I had the same problem with shadows. I tried to use the recommended mods for shadow striping fixes but they only work indoors, so I ended up just turning off all shadows in my .ini files which worked but can goof with your immersion. I would recommend using different lighting mods and see if any of those do the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greyboy Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 I solved this by blurring shadows:iBlurDeferredShadowMask=7 fShadowBiasScale=0.2400iShadowMaskQuarter=5iShadowMode=3iShadowFilter=4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out this vid. https://youtu.be/XeL41XLZd3A read the description fully. I've used these settings when I had the same issue, and it solved all but the littlest bit of the stripping.
