Shadow problem

[Cait833]

Hello, I posted this on the mod troubleshooting forum, but I think it may actually have something to do with the drivers.

 

I keep getting brief flashes/sightings of shadows that should be there - normally I have no shadows outdoors even though they are set to ultra. :(

 

I do have some lighting mods installed - Climates of Tamriel, Enhanced Lighting and FX, ENB 12.12.12 with The Wilds 3.0 preset, but they should not be creating any problems. The problem only seems to arise when I am outdoors, I think.

I have made a thread on the AMD game-specific forum here as well.
