Shadows...

[marcinsgp]

I would be grateful if someone could help me solve problems with my shadows

Why are they so low quality? Can I improve them or remove them?

I thought using ENB would solve everything. Here are screenshots with Snapdragon Prime.

I use NMM so config files are in my documents

My fShadowBiasScale is set to 8 just because I read on google that higher value removes character shadows but as you can see it is not working. I have tried with values like 0.15 0.5 1 1.5 2

Download BethINI.

 

Its a third party program that helps customize and save config files, you can use it to set the shadow quality very high, or disable it permanently.

 

Skyrims shadows, basicaly, suck ass unless you set them up really high, at which time youre assfucking your fps.
