Er, what's happened to my shadows then?

[cacophany]

Righto, long time oblivion user and I've never encountered this problem before. Installed oblivion not too long ago along with a great deal of mods to see what the gameplay experience would be like under my new GTX 480. I fiddled with the INI and incresed the shadows to something obscene like 200... When I botted into the game it worked fine, but there were no shadows (or ambient occlusion actually... But I don't really care too much about that) I restored the default INI file after that but still the problem remains.

 

If somebody could remind me how to post my load order (i'm using OBMM) I'd be glad to. I'd really like to get this game looking as pretty as damn possible, so any help would be appreciated.

When you reinstalled did you remember to erase the original Ini file? It will still expect the old video card and not use the functionality of the new one if you didn't. Using the built in uninstall dosn't really uninstall the entire game, and the ini is one of the things left behind.

 

Also, if you use Streamline it will automatically change your ini settings to what it thinks is best unless you disable the streamsight function

 

The rest of your system will have an effect on what you can do even with a super video card.

On top of my shadow problem I now have the map (a normal map of the map?) of cyrodiil tiling the ground isntead of a grass texture. >.>
