ENB - Shadows issues?

[Guest]

I have no idea why my ENB that used to be bright and light is dark again. The most frustrating thing now is shadows? problem which I didn't have before. Checked the net again and S.T.E.P, tried to reconfigure ENB and I can't get frustrating dark things (see the pictures). Help is desperately needed for I'm very tempted to uninstall Skyrim and quit playing it. Pleas,e point me what do I need to do to get rid of the dark spot in the red circles and the square.

You're probably going to need to dial down the resolution from 4096 to 2048 or 1024, but start from these setting to see if the problem is still before changing the settings.

 

 

2048

Thank you for your help.

Here is my original SkyrimPref.ini. As you can see it almost the same as suggested. My primary resolution was already on 2048, and secondary on 1024.

And these are my  SHADOW setting from enbseries.ini

[SHADOW]
IgnoreWeatherSystem=true (turning this option of and on didn't change anything on better so I leave it as true)
ShadowCastersFix=true
UseBilateralShadowFilter=true
ShadowQualityFix=true
DetailedShadowQuality=1
ShadowFilterQuality=0
ShadowBlurRange=8.0
ShadowBlurRangeInterior=8.0

then your issue is either low res normal maps or something in the SSAO/AI section of your enb.

 

You also want to normalize all of your shadow res settings to one value, 2048 or 1024.

 

Your  Detail Shadow settings are also twice as low as mine: 1, 0, -1.

 

-1 is what you want.

Thanks again. I tried all you said and I still can't fucking get rid of dark shadow on faces and I can't have night brighter. I fucked around changing values, no success. Fucking ENB is killing me. I searched the web for few others but didn't like them for they requires extra mods. This one worked perfectly according to my like before I reinstalled Skyrim. After that, nothing works in fucking ENB as I want. Damn fucking fuck!
