Beriallord Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 I quit playing months ago because of the shadows. I couldn't find a setting that made good looking shadows at far draw distance without them being blocky and flickering. It took away from the immersion of the game for me. Did anyone mod the game to completely overhaul the shadows? Or can someone post some settings for clean/crisp looking shadows that don't flicker at at least a 3000 draw distance?
Elsarian Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 You stopped playing an Elder Scrolls game because of shadows?
Bloodinfested Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 (edited) I cut mine back at around fShadowDistance=5000 because at 8000 it looks horrible in skyrimprefs. I added into the skyrim.ini under display fSunShadowUpdateTime=0.001 fSunUpdateThreshold=0.001 I seen a few different fsun # some ppl prefer a high updatetime so the shadows dont move all the time. If your running a very low timescale I think it looks pretty good. Far as the blocky look you can raise iShadowMapResolutionSecondary & iShadowMapResolutionPrimary - use values like 1024, 2048, 4096 & 8192.Using ENB is really the way to go after finding what you like in the ini settings Edited February 25, 2013 by Bloodinfested
