Shadow Flicker

I know this is a long shot, but I'm seeing some shadow texture flicker on the stone walls of Dragonsreach looking at Whiterun from a distance. No flicker in the mountains at all. Is there a common fix or tweak that I can try for this? I'll post a picture if it would help. I am running an ENB.

You can see that Dragons Reach is not fully rendered either. I upped my uLargeRefLODGridSize=21.

In anycase, you can also see a lot of shadow flickering on the wall as well. If you cycle between the two photos you can kind of see it.

That issue is caused by mods not having proper LODs for SSE. Make sure all your mods are up to date. USLEEP or JK's Whiterun are the two likely culprits that stood out, but I know this has been fixed in USLEEP already.

Ahh, I was wondering. It turns out it was my SSELODGen files. Not sure why, but going to dig more there. 

 

Any recommendation on the shadow flicker on the walls of DR?

Just to report back, I uninstalled Open Cities and JK's Whiterun and Riverwood, plus associated patches and reran the LODGen. I don't know if this is a perfect fix, but it helped. I still get that kind of weird shadow flicker when I move my view. It's like the shadows off in the distance on the wall of Dragons Reach are being recalculated as I change my perspective. I'm sure there is a setting I could tweak to relive the engine of trying to draw detailed shadows at that distance?

Hadn't seen Beth.ini. Cool. I popped it in but didn't help the kind of funky shadow rendering on that wall. No worries. Everything is looking great. Think I finally settled on Nyclix's ENB-Reshade. Everything is looking amazing. Do you happen to know if anyone is recommending/using SRO or is Noble a better base set of textures now? I still have it from Oldrim and was thinking I might pop it in and look.

You can grab SRO 1.7 for SSE here. It is an official release from starac.
