First: do you use an ENB? There are ELFX files for that case.

 

Second: shadow striping is an vanilla issue that doesn't always occur, there is a mod on the nexus which fixes most if not all vanilla shadow striping...

[EragonSaphire]

mm no i don't use any enb

if you are reffering to shadow remover i tried it but there was still shadow striping :/

Skyrim Shadow Striping Fix: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/27418/?

I still get some rare shadow striping though, but only on my character and NPCs. Don't know how to fix that.

 

And while I am at it: this one is very handy too: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/40706/?

Oh and ENBoost counts as ENB for ELFX... just so you know.

i didn't know it counts as enb... thank you i will try what you suggested.

[echotest123]

I changes the way the graphic engine works, even if most of its features are disabled. It is, after all, only THE performance preset for ENB

[EragonSaphire]

i tried what you proposed and unfortunately the result was worse...here is a pic

[zniachtl]

OP, this surely ain't a "fix" but it may open "doors"

 

skyrimprefs.ini

 

[display]

 

I see it ends with bFloatPointRenderTarget=0

try setting this to 1

 

also, you can try adding other shadowvalues:

fShadowBiasScale=0.1500

iShadowMaskQuarter=4

iShadowFilter=3

bShadowsOnGrass=1 <- this you wont need, but adding the upper 3 and playing with those values could do the job

bDeferredShadows=1 <- this..... add it too, try both 1 and 0

bDrawShadows=1 <-- "Lifeboat" method, if you mean "ENOUGH! The ugly crap gotta go, I don't care what it takes" setting this to 0 will remove all shadows.

[EragonSaphire]

thank you for your help, unfortunately i couldn't solve my problem so i just used the realvision enb instead... Thank you.
