TES: Skyrim - strange shadows

Hi!

pretty huge fan of the entire sweetfx/post-process tools and I was pretty excited to stumble upon this new tool. I immediately downloaded a fresh version of Skyrim and installed a few light mods (Unofficial Patches, SkyUI) and I also launch the game through Mod Organizer and SKSE. Additionally I installed ReShade 0.18.4 Public Beta with Framework.

Upon entering the game environment everything seems to be fine - until you move your camera. It seems like the previously rendered shadows stay and disconnect from their original position. I dont know how to explain it more precisely.

Here's a picture.

Also this is my .log file:



After using google and browsing the forum I stumbled upon a temporary solution: to set bDeferredShadows=1 to 0. This solution fixes some problems, but the shadow bug still appears in some scenes and locations of the game, especially where fog is present.


I'd love to see this problem fixed.

Highly doubt this is a bug with ReShade.

This was present a few months ago when I tested.

If you say it's still there I believe you, I haven't played in a bit but it did bother me as well.


This happens with no mods as well just fyi.

shadows in skyrim suck people who followed enb progress can attest to this , can you post what settings your using in reshade ? and a screenshot of your mod list would be super helpful

It only happens when I enable/add the d3d9.dll shipped with ReShade.

ReShade is still unconfigured; basically no shader is enabled. It's "out of the box" at the moment. Here's my Mod Organizer. I didn't change anything related to graphics or shadows in the skyrim settings/ini files.
