Strange shadow rendering, please help !

Post » Sat Oct 27, 2012 11:21 pm

I have sone strange zebra shadow rendering while i'm traveling the world, i will make a video so can you understant.

I'm using maxed settings + ugridstoload at 9. (Before the ugrids, was the same issue).

Also i'm using the Realistic Lighting mod.


The shadow is appearing on the ground, as a fishing net, or some kind of zebra, and if i move the mouse in some direction the shadow disappears and re-appears, while e move the mouse in some directions.

I've never played Skyrim for a while, and this could be a patch issue ? Also i have AF x16 from the driver enabled for Skyrim.

This has existed since launch. Changing fShadowBiasScale in the SkyrimPrefs.ini to 1 fixes it. Some people report that changing fShadowBiasScale can also make shadows float, but I haven't seen that and I've played 100+ hours with it.

Well, thank god is not my PC, or my mods, i have many texture mods. Right now i've changed iShadowMapResolutionSecondary to 2048 and fShadowLODStartFade to 1200, and i've played a little, and seems that strange zebra/net shadow has disappeared. I will change bias scale to 1 as well, thank you.

But why this issue exists since launch, why they didn't fixed it ?

And how i can make the shadows that are rendering on people on the daylight to be less jaggy and low resolution, and the shadows casted by trees on the ground, like this one. http://i48.tinypic.com/9laioz.jpg

PS: Seems my PC ran run without any problems at ugridstoload=9 I want to change it at 11, but i need to make some other tweaks, or so ? Or only change the number at 11 ?
Also, when i've played at grids=5, when i was traveling in the world, when parts of the world loaded, i have a stuttering, now at gridstoload=9. all world render in front of me, and when i get there i get no stuttering cuz of the loading of the area... :D
