Hi guys, I know this has been discussed to death but for some reason none of the guides help.
SHADOWS!
I'm supposedly using (assuming that I didn't screw smth up) Seasons of Skyrim - Summer and almost everything seems alright, HOWEVER:

Here are my terrible shadows:

How the hell can I fix this? They look freaking terrible.

My Skyrim.ini has the iBlurshadowmask (or whatever it is called) on 5 after 3 didn't work, I even tried 22 and that didn't help.
The shadow resolutions are 4096.

In the enb ini the detailed shadows are on and their quality is on very high/high.



I believe I may be missing smth blatantly obvious and hence can't find any guide to fix it.
Please help me :cry:

Thanks in advance.

EDIT:
Never mind, I just used this http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/24828/?

I have no clue what the author did, but it's amazing,


EDIT 2:
he does say smth about it not being compatible with the newer ENB binary, but so far I ahven't encountered any problems, but just in case, could you tell me how to fix the shadows myself?

Could you post a screenshot of what they look like now?

AFAIK, the only way to increase shadow resolution is to either increase the shadow map, or decrease the shadow draw distance. The latter isn't really a good option for anyone, as they make shadows pop out of view far too easily. I wish I had the machine to run them at 8192. :cry:

Hi dude!!

Ok! Try with these settings:

Skyrimi.ini:

[Display]
iShadowMapResolutionPrimary=8192

SkyrimPrefs.ini:

iBlurDeferredShadowMask=3
fInteriorShadowDistance=3500.0000
fShadowDistance=4000.0000 <------- Less values = More quality! But the shadows pop up just before you... 4000 is a good balance
iShadowMapResolution=8192
iShadowMapResolutionSecondary=4096
iShadowMapResolutionPrimary=8192
fShadowBiasScale=0.4500
iShadowMaskQuarter=4
iShadowSplitCount=2
iShadowFilter=4
iShadowMode=3
bShadowMaskZPrepass=0
bShadowsOnGrass=1
bDeferredShadows=1
bTreesReceiveShadows=1
bDrawLandShadows=1
bDrawShadows=1

Yeah, that'll work, but it will DESTROY performance as you're setting 8k shadows on everything. Give it a shot though and if it works for you, awesome. I'll copy and paste my shadow settings from both .ini's and ENB and see how they look. I think mine look pretty good :)

Code:
Skyrimprefs.ini:
[Display]
iBlurDeferredShadowMask=8
fInteriorShadowDistance=3000.0000
fShadowDistance=8000.0000
iShadowMapResolutionSecondary=2048
iShadowMapResolutionPrimary=2048
iShadowSplitCount=2
fShadowLODStartFade=200.0000
iShadowMode=3
bTreesReceiveShadows=1
bDrawLandShadows=1
bShadowMaskZPrepass=0
iShadowMapResolution=2048
fShadowBiasScale=0.1500
iShadowMaskQuarter=4
iShadowFilter=4
bTransparencyMultisampling=0
bDeferredShadows=1
bDrawShadows=1
fSunShadowUpdateTime=0.1
bShadowsOnGrass=1

Skyrim.ini:
iShadowMapResolutionPrimary=2048

enbseries.ini:
[SHADOW]
ShadowObjectsFix=true
ShadowCastersFix=false
UseBilateralShadowFilter=true
ShadowQualityFix=true      
DetailedShadowQuality=-1
ShadowBlurRange=6.8
ShadowBlurRangeInterior=6.8         
ShadowFilterQuality=0
IgnoreWeatherSystem=false


Hope either of us are able to help :)

Yeah sure, the first one is always with ENB on and the second with ENB off.

However, whatever that guy did it sucks a huge amount of FPS for me. It's only 45 and when I use Seasons of Skyrim it's freaking 30 FPS.
I actually didn't notice until I looked at the counter, but a friend of mine told me that in the long term it's going to drive me nuts, I don't really know why, any thoughts on that?^^
I have a GeForce GTX 770, I'll look around in the presets section.

Also I had to turn off the film grain, it actually made me feel sick.



On an unrelated note, this forum really needs spoiler tags >.<


PS: Thanks a lot guys, I've just noticed that this is actually the wrong thread for this and you still helped me.^^
