RitualBlack Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 My AMD 6970m's are not having any shadow flickering, but they were after patch 1.1 and pre-patch 1.4 so it is most likely driver related. Try doing a video driver update and see if the problem is fixed. Since the release of Skrim/BF3 AMD has been releasing a lot of new drivers to fix the problems they have been having.

RitualBlack Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I wasn't sure which ones you are at. The 12.1 drivers are working great for me so I am staying on them but they may behave differently with different models. See what happens and hopefully the shadow flickering goes away. (Is it the really annoying flickering bug where your characters face doesn't stop flashing with shadow also?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redcelt68 Posted March 21, 2012 Author Share Posted March 21, 2012 hey bey tom,just updated drivers to 12.2.same prob.but i think the prob is with the sky update 1.5. i was running 12.1, had sky update (latest) 1.4, than selected beta 1.5 & thats where the flickering shadows started.describing the prob (in game): depending on where youre standing youre either all in shadows or not. ex:if youre against a building wall youre in shadows..if you run from there out into the open it flashes to complete sunlight & does so acording to your positioning,movement,nothing smooth or transitional about it, like it was in update 1.4.very annoying..but also no matter what setting you select you cant get any self/npc shadows to show... i kinda verified this cause when 1.5 went live even though its beta i had the same old prob i did when i reverted back to 1.4 whenit was an option to do so..but i see no option to roll back update version here on steam....

Rennn Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 If you have Land Shadows turned on in the .ini, try turning them off. If that doesn't work, disable your mods in groups until you narrow down the possibilties and find the culprit. If it's not a mod... idk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naotecurto Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I'm sorry to intrude, but what are the symptoms to your problem exactly? Cause I think I have the same problem... Even uninstalled the game TWICE... What happens in mine is simple: If you're outside (more noticeable) in the sunlight, everything is very VERY bright (brighter than vanilla Skyrim) If you move to the shade, the WHOLE world gets shaded. It reminds me of a different game where when it rained and you moved under a bridge it stopped raining (even out of the bridge)... Thanks in advance.
