Skyrim LightingShadows Troubles

Post » Wed Feb 19, 2014 5:31 am

I've searched to see if anyone has had any of the troubles I've encountered.

forums gamesas com index.php?app=core&module=search&do=search&andor_type=&search_app_filters[forums][sortKey]=date&cType=forum&cId=180&search_app_filters[forums][sortKey]=date&search_app_filters[forums][searchInKey]=&search_term=lighting&search_app=forums

I really couldn't find anyone who had this type of troubles.

This is what I encounter while playing Skyrim. Anytime I am near lights and shadows, they look like this.

These are my data files I'm playing with.

And these are my options.

And finally these are my game's ini files.

And here's my dxdiag.

Any help would be appreciated!

Your video solution is pretty poor. Have you turned every down to the minimum level?
