peregrine111 Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 (edited) I don't know why, but it seems that when my character is moving (or when camera is moving as well), instead of my character's shadow, under it, EVERYTHING in the radius of fShadowDIstance is in one giant shadow. When the character and camera are perfectly still, everything renders normally. As soon as I move in any way, BAM, 10k radius of darkness. I've tried pretty much all settings for ENB ingame and none did anything with it, which makes me thing it's either faulty INI settings (which is weird because I'm using BETHini), or some mod that's causing the effect. Mods affecting camera in my load order:3PCOCustomizable camera Mods affecting ENB/lights:NATNatural Realistic ENB (for NAT)Skyrim Particle Patch for ENB SSEENB Light To see the effect, here are some screensPerfectly still: Moving character/camera: I've run BETHini again just to be sure but it's still there. Tried stripping my character of all equipped items, tried disabling ENB Light, changing weather, ingame time, ENB settings, save reload, restarting game, zoning in and out,... it's downright unplayable with this bug. I think I'm gonna try a different ENB preset or different ENB version next, but after that I'm out of ideas...

peregrine111 Posted September 7, 2020 Author Share Posted September 7, 2020 (edited) It's happening on and off, never seem to have the same conditions to appear - otherwise I'd pinpoint it already. I can play for 12 hours straight, but if I change ANY setting, the next time I turn on skyrim sse, the shadows are glitching out like this. Removing and reinstalling ENB seems to fix it - until I change (and save) anything - then the next time I launch the game it does this. So I'm thinking it might be one of the ENB settings that I'm turning on that doesn't actually update in a running game, but rather when you restart it. Anyone got tips? Well worst case scenario I'll just keep turning them on one by one till I find what's causing this - unless it's a COMBINATION of 2+ options, then I'm not sure Edit: well.... last 3 times the issue was fixed (for a couple hours at least) when I reinstalled ENB. Now, not so much. The shadows (AND light) are glitching out like mad, and sometimes all shadows are cast in THE WRONG DIRECTION (aka shadows facing sun, lighted parts are facing AWAY from sun ffs) or there's just that big-ass 10k radius shadow over everything. I'm getting ready to fcking delete the whole clusterfck that is Skyrim and never touch it again with a 10m pole. Edit2: FFS! I removed ENB completely and launched game. Guess what? Shadows still flicker - when I'm still, they look normal, when moving, they face the WRONG DIRECTION (as if the sun was on the opposite side - so in the morning/evening shadows are cast TOWARD SUN, while during the day EVERYTHING is in shadow because the sun is apparently UNDERGROUND. Oh god wtf, which effin mod reverses the direction of sunlight? :S Edited September 7, 2020 by peregrine111 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peregrine111 Posted September 12, 2020 Author Share Posted September 12, 2020 Nobody? I'm still getting this randomly, and when I do, it's helluva hard to get it working again. I've tried different ENBs, different lighting mod combinations, different weather mods.... nothing seems to have a real effect. It just randomly appears and randomly disappears between game sessions... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caffeinatedNetling Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 I have no solution but the same problem. It started happening right after I rebuilt my mod list on Mod Organizer 2 from Vortex. Not sure that's related at all, though, as I did rebuild it manually so it's just as likely I made a mistake myself somewhere.Will update tomorrow with my mod list and anything I can figure out.

caffeinatedNetling Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Well, it seems to have stopped completely after I turned off my PC and turned it back on the next day. I had left it running for a couple days when I had the issue, so perhaps I was just running out of RAM from Windows being Windows and filling it up?It's not really a satisfying explaination...

I had left it running for a couple days when I had the issue, so perhaps I was just running out of RAM from Windows being Windows and filling it up?It's not really a satisfying explaination...With my computer, I have to do a periodic reboot to get Skyrim to run well; when it starts getting all crashy and my saves won't load, that's when I know it's time. I've never figured out why this is, and it's been this way since I started modding LE back in 2013 (really wish I had the money to upgrade...) but it is what it is.
