Dark shadow/shaders follow character and path of looking

[skillfactor]

Using 239 K enb extensive with 239 binary

My most recent changes before noticing the effect were going from 220 binary to 239 and removing lush trees. It's also possible it took place before that. My ini files are K enb extensive stock (Exactly the same as Kyo's included files minus the memory and "Skyrim.ini papyrus setting" as his papyrus log gave me skyui error code 4.. does everyone get that?)

This was most evident near water in daylight. Staring at the ground around areas of water would display a higher level of detail with different lighting within a radius and would follow my pan as I look in any direction.

Here's a better description I found on the web describing my problem as well

and a youtube video showing the bug exactly as it appears for me on land. fast forward to 14:40 and watch him travel around.

Thanks kindly

I don't know what to look at, video is too much dark. Better make comparison screenshots.

[mindflux]

Hard to say from so dark videos, but it might be something related to shadow distance? To me looks like the shadows are only rendered pretty close to camera.

Low anisotrophic filtering might explaing the shift in detail level you're seeing.

[skillfactor]

Wow. I linked you all to the wrong video... don't I feel like a horses patoot

Fastforward to 14:43. You'll see the shadow follow the character just up front of him, tracking with his path. Mine is much more pronounced

I'll upload better examples when I'm off work. Shadow distance is around 8000 and AF is set to 16 per shift + enter screen through ENB

[ENBSeries]

Never saw anything like that. May be some wrong skyrimprefs.ini manipulations.

[skillfactor]

Been home for a minute. I uploaded my bug with the radius going by areas of water.. this may help pinpoint the problem. Thanks for checking into it!

Water reflection is vanilla bug and it partially fixed in my mod.

[skillfactor]

I keep a long list of saves.. I ended up rolling back to a safe one and the problem is gone. No idea what was causing it. 246 is the jam btw! Thanks kindly for your continued efforts
