[SOLVED] Pixelated Shadows [LE]

[DovahKya]

Hello guys, I've recentely finally decided to install an ENB, I opted to Snapdragon ENB. I like it and seem to work fine but there's a problem, I've got pixelaetd shadows. Not sure but it seems that the problem concerns only the trees. I think it could be a wrong setting in ini files, can you pls tell me which one I should try to edit? And what I have to change? (I use Skyrim LE)

Yep I have all these ini files on my Skyrim folder, I remember they were like 3 now they are 5 Idk if that's a good thing or some of them are just useless.

enblocal.ini

enbseries.ini

Skyrim.ini

SkyrimEditor.ini

SkyrimEditorPrefs.ini

you want the inis in your profile, not in the base or /user/name folders, if you're not using a mod manager welp good luck.

iBlurDeferredShadowMask=1

fShadowDistance=4000.0000

Thank you very much now it works! Seems that I've also gained some fps. ❤️

 

I have my Skyrim inis where the SkyrimLauncher is, I use MO2 but always installed ENBs manually (I always believed it worked better this way), should I put my inis in my MO2 profile?

 

That's what I've changed:

iShadowSplitCount=1
iAdapter=0
bSAOEnable=0

 

These ones are totally missing in my prefs ini, added under [Display] section.

 

IgnoreWeatherSystem=false   (was set on true)

ShadowBlurRange=8.0   (was 0.15)

ShadowBlurRangeInterior=4.0   (was 0.15)

SoftShadowBlurRangeMin=0.3 (was 0.26)

 

EnableDistantShadowAtNight=false   (totally missing)

 

 

My Shadows now:
