I am already using realvision enb, but I still see some poor shadows

best is 2048 for shadows i agree.

iMaxAnisotropy=16 with ENB must be 0 if i remember in ENB faq

 

And when you save it ,dont forget to mark it in file attributes as "read only". So when going to options game will not drop ini to def config.

Also in the game console type ~ refini (refreshini) make a new save then load that save.test it on new save file,dont overwrite old saves.

Yes. It was about iMaxAnisotrophy. Thanks for explaining
