wowyogurt Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Updated to patch 1.5 and noticed that there was really odd shadowing. http://imgur.com/a/cM9kW The bug only seems to occur when something impedes the sunlight above the player (roof, trees, etc.) I tried updating video card driver, switching detail levels, unchecking FXAA, deactivating mods, but none seemed to work. :[ Anyone have a fix for this?

Naelok Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Same problem here. Pic: http://i40.tinypic.com/1zofh52.jpg Have tried different fixes, none have worked. Was working find with previous patch. And I don't have any lighting mods installed at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatLar Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Same problem, I think.. All shadows are gone from the ground (including birds), but if I step where it should have been a shadow, everything turns dark. 1st picture, standing in sunlight 2nd picture, one step back, next to a tree that should have been casting a shadow on the ground and me. Any ideas?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wowyogurt Posted March 22, 2012 Author Share Posted March 22, 2012 I'm encountering more problems now... When I fast-travel, I get an error message saying [WeTriggerScript < (########)>] WARNING: getMyHoldFactionControllerMarker() myHoldOwner property expected to be 1 or 2, instead have:0 Not really a "problem", but I noticed that when Dragonrend is in the favorite's list, it has a "1." preceding it. It looks like (1. Dragonrend). Are all the problems from patch 1.5...or are some of them due to what I did? D: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rennn Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 This shadow bug only occurs for me after I die and reload a save. Is that the case with you as well?When I die I restart Skyrim and it fixes it, though without a focus on role play I can see how such a heavy death penalty would be more irksome.

wowyogurt Posted March 22, 2012 Author Share Posted March 22, 2012 (edited) If anyone gets the WeTrigger error that I mentioned above, I think the fix is to re-purchase a home your previously bought. For some reason the patch may have made you lose ownership of your home(s), according to the NPC's. (Even though you can freely go in and out). EDIT: JK. THIS DID NOT STOP THE ERROR MESSAGES.

I guess you're lucky; you can just not die :] On 3/22/2012 at 5:33 AM, PHatPHry said: On 3/22/2012 at 2:08 AM, wowyogurt said: I'm encountering more problems now...

ddrag983 Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 (edited) For anyone having the same shadow issue as me with ati cards (R3870 here), I believe I may have found a solution... not the best but i no longer have crazy shadows or random texture lines all over the place. I didn't have to uninstall any mods whatsoever, and at the same time i dont use any ENB series shaders... if that helps. I used a d3d9.dll file from the newvegasnexus and placed it in my skyrim game folder (where your d3d9.dll file usually is, just in case copy that bad boy for backup). My graphics adapter now says 8800gs, but i just set my settings accordingly and everything is awesome. Shadows on grass, correct lighting, and of course...all of the lovely new killmoves. Here's a link to the site and download. http://newvegas.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=34970 P.S. I also got about a 12 fps gain from this! P.P.S.Dont use the manager, manually download.

ddrag983 Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 (edited) I forgot to mention that you might want to use the default Skyrim launcher so that it re-detects your hardware setup. I have bFloatPointRenderTarget set to 1 and b30GrassVS set to 0 in the skyrimprefs.ini located in the Skyrim folder Where Skyrim is installed. In Documents/My Games/Skyrim I have the Skyrim.ini where b30GrassVS and bAllowCreateGrass are both set to 0, and the Skyrimprefs.ini bFloatPointRenderTarget set to 1 and b30GrassVS set to 0. These we're the only changes I made to my ini's at all. Let me know if you would like me to post my .ini files if needed for reference. I played for an hour or so and shadows drew consistently with no random pixel generation, not sure about any of the reported quest bugs though, this probably won't affect that.P.S. after you use the default Skyrim launcher you should be able to use whatever program you use to launch it regularly, and if it crashes when you try to load a recent save, try starting a new game and make sure it worked and after that try loading an old save. Also, make sure all your mods are activated when loading your old saves. Edited March 24, 2012 by ddrag983 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
