Open up the Skyrim.Pref upon the [Display] tab and search for these two variablesbShadowsOnGrass=1bDeferredShadows=1Set both of the variables to 0 and run Skyrim's options less if they're already manually defaulted, set the Distance Object Detail to High and uncheck "Object Detail Fade"Hopefully this will help.

Rennn Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 If you alt+tab out of the game, or use Ctrl+Alt+Delete while playing Skyrim, that can cause it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quacksont Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 My skyrimprefs and skyrim.ini didn't have deferred shadows or shadows on grass. Took me quite a while to figure it out. Just start up Skyrim launcher settings and it will reset the settings you changed, which will fix the game. Then you guys can figure out what the hell causes it. It worked for me.
