Hello all. Recently noticed a annoying bug with the shadows on the actors from the bonfires (only, all other light sources do not cause this bug). And as I found out, it is not due to ENB (100% no) or mods (not 100%). Most likely due to SkyrimPrefs.ini or Skyrim.ini.



Can anyone help me with it?

If I remember correctly there's nothing you can do, it's a limitation of the game engine.

mindflux, lolwhat? And what cause this limitation?

I believe the issue is caused by the fact that the bonfire doesn't cast a dynamic shadow, and at least when I researched the issue (years ago, mind you, so things might have changed) dynamic shadow couldn't be enabled for bonfires because it would be rendered as if it was cast by sun. This is because of a game engine limitation of only one dynamic shadow caster in exteriors. Of course your issue might be something else, don't have the game installed to check.

mindflux, After set bDeferredShadows=1 to =0 - bonfires now have this "dynamic shadows" and do not cause the bug from my screenshot, but all "volumetric light" disappeared and all world (ground) now in the shadow and almost black.

Doing that will fuck up shadows completely, not really a good idea.
