Detailed Shadows Don't Work

Playing FNV, detailed shadows don't show up when I activate them. Everything else works. I tried other versions of the binaries. Do detailed shadows use framework that the rest of ENB doesn't?

Using a GTX 1060 6GB, driver version 390.65, but 388.71 and the one before that didn't work either.

I had to reinstall Windows, could I be missing required files?

Re: Detailed Shadows Don't Work

Maybe you did wrong tweaks in game video options or to game config file (fallout.ini or how its named). Or having antialiasing enabled in game setting or in drivers. Or hdr not enabled.

Re: Detailed Shadows Don't Work

bDoHighDynamicRange = 1
iMultiSample = 0
bTransparencyMultisampling = 0
iWaterMultisamples = 0
bUseWaterDisplacements = 0

Antialiasing - Application-controlled

Everything looks good.

Re: Detailed Shadows Don't Work

Why you show me screenshots of the night if shadows are from the sun?

Fine.

I clicked "Save Configuration" and "Apply Changes" both times.

Re: Detailed Shadows Don't Work

Actually i have no idea, except of any usual suggestions like incompatible software running. Are you sure its not antialiasing in drivers? Did you try to disable edge antialiasing in enblocal.ini and see if antialiasing is applied to most edges of screen? If yes, its antialiasing forced somewhere. I dont see ambient occlusion on the screen, while its enabled, so it means that not just detailed shadows not work.

Re: Detailed Shadows Don't Work

Ambient Occlusion is working, actually. Just subtle. https://imgur.com/a/aBVtd

Turned off edge antialiasing and there's no antialiasing anymore, so it's not being forced anywhere. https://imgur.com/a/D17Ww

I deleted then downloaded the shaders through Steam, tried it, then updated back to 3.0 shaders. Neither worked. I thought maybe using 3.0 shaders were causing the problem.

Re: Detailed Shadows Don't Work

Oh, somebody recently wrote here that 3.0 shaders do not work and switching back to 2.0 fixed the problem (if i remember its in game config file parameter.
Btw, if you have sli, try disabling it. And another idea, try to rename game exe file, maybe its driver side.

Re: Detailed Shadows Don't Work

Tried all of those, doesn't work.

Do detailed shadows require different Windows files from other settings? I've had a few unrelated problems that might be caused by Windows installing some files wrong.

Re: Detailed Shadows Don't Work

No, they are independent. But mods which modify sun/sky/weather system can produce issues (also time detection fail most likely and tweaks for sun/sky). Did you try game without any mods? Did you try to backup game ini files from my documents folder and then delete it, allow launcher to create them again? Its in case if you edited ini files manually.
