Need help with ini tweaking

[Chris1911]

Hello Community,

 

I can't tweak my ini's. After editing them i can see no changes ingame. And i tried everything, read only, editing every ini even in the Gamefolder but nothing happens.

Does someone know an answer?

I would be very thankful

I have two ideas

 

Run Skyrim as admin,

 

Ensure your files are in the correct folder and not read only.

 

If you could elaborate on what .ini tweaks you are using might help and what video card do you have.

I just reread what you said. you are not to change the ini in the game folder you edit the ini in

 

My documents>mygames>Skyrim

 

Skyrim.ini

skyrimprefs.ini

I edited the ini's in the Documents Folder.

The funny thing is, when i edit the shadow distance, it works ingame.

But when i edit my shadow resolution to 4096, the shadows are still buggy.

My Videocard is the gtx 670 with the latest driver.

 

I want to edit the shadows, espacially the charakter shadows.
