It's the game, happens because they move with the sun.

In the fixes link in my signature, you'll find a post or 2 from people with a fix.

Nice to know, thank you.

That tweak guide reads:
"...try a combination of fSunShadowUpdateTime=0.000 and fSunUpdateThreshold=0.100 to provide more frequent and hence steadier updates of shadow positions, with smaller and much cleaner transitions".

The file is Skyrim.ini in your documents folder.

Wow, maybe that worked with earlier versions ... but for me these settings with 1.5 are not playable what so ever. When I use that, all I see are twisted shadowlines all over the place constantly moving.

this really soveld it!

I use:


fSunShadowUpdateTime=0.0001
fSunUpdateThreshold=0.500

shadow update time will practically make the shadow`s shift to new position instant. update threshold I set it to 0.5 to have the shift at aprox 3 seconds, so is not so observable. I believe even higher.

the actuall problem was sun shadow update time. if set to 1.0 it will last for so long and it will be annoyant.

thank you wwww for pointing it out!
