Distant black lines

[PsychoticHamster]

So I don't if this is a shadow related thing or whatever but its really annoying because everything 100 ft or so in front of me is shaded with black horizontal lines, and when I get close they just vanish. Its bugging the hell out of me and I was wondering if anyones encountered this or has suggestions.

It's shadow striping. Looks like you are running ENB? Sorry I don't use ENB, so I don't know exactly how these fixes will affect your setup, probably better to check with the ENB site, but in games without ENB, you would adjust

iBlurDeferredShadowMask= (higher numbers lead to blurrier shadows but remove striping)

fShadowBiasScale=0.5000 (angle of shadows)

iShadowMaskQuarter= (the lower the number, the softer the shadows.

 

I use values of 7 and 4, respectively, but I suspect ENB would have some influence on the proper settings for you, as well as your specific graphics card.

 

Finally, you could look at

 

fShadowDistance= This setting affects detail of near/far shadows. At the default 8000.0000 shadows are rendered farther out at the expense of the quality of near shadows. I use 4000.0000, which removes some far shadows but improves the near shadows. Again the best setting for you is probably dependent on your personal settings and hardware.

 

(all in your prefs.ini, forgot to mention)

okay thanks, and I am using an enb, but I've noticed this in vanilla anyway.
