TrustFall Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 (edited) I'm having some problems with the shadows on two characters in my home in Whiterun. The fire place in the main room is now causing strange artifacts on the two NPCs I have in there (child and Lydia). I have no light mods installed, however, I have messed with Skyrim Configurator some. Can someone tell me what to adjust without having to do a full reset of the whole Skyrim preferences and ini files?

maddgod96 Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 you might need to lower shadow resolution OR adjust the shadow quarter because it seems the light mapping is kinda off. I maybe wrong, but those are my educated guesses. I have been working with game development for a few years and I NEVER seen that happen with anything.

RitchieTheMerc Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I think this is caused by some kind of strange bug in the game. I had this sort of problem before, just install one of the shadow striping fixes here on the Nexus, and it should be fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddgod96 Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 like what ritchie said. often shadows and other 2d graphics effects could be skewed by a simple coding bug. I have had textures pixelate somewhat like that but not so severe, and not shadows either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jet4571 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 ini tweaks will not fix that shadow problem, the light source was just placed inside the cell and not correctly adjusted afterwards. metasparks did the only way to fix it and that is a mod that fixes the light source itself.
