TechAngel85 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 You can play with this parameter to find your optimal setting. Somewhere in the middle might be better for those running lower quality shadows. Sent from my Moto X using Tapatalk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z929669 Posted February 6, 2014 Author Share Posted February 6, 2014 the new fSunUpdateThreshold=0.01 does seem to make the shadows animate oddly though' date=' as if they are stuttering when the rest of the game isn't. setting iBlurDeferredShadowMask to 0 when using enb makes it less noticeable since it smooths out the shadows. perhaps it's because I'm not running ultra shadows[/quote']Yes, I think that the current recommendations best suit ENB users that will get smooth shadows and thus the very fast transition is not very noticeable at all (which is the goal ... ANY noticeable transition be it small or large is bad). Even ENB users will notice the drastic change of the 2s update interval though. Perhaps we should recommend 2.0 for non ENB users and 0.01 for ENB users. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoYouEvenModBro Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Have the users complaining about the 0.1 values all been non-enb users? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admiralrant Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 I'm a non-ENB user (currently) with ultra shadows, and I can confirm with the .1 values the shadows are constantly flickering. I say it is a good idea to specify .1 for ENB and a value between 1 and 2 for non-ENB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to clarify it should be 0.01. Small change, big difference :) ThanksFred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admiralrant Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Meant to say 0.01, sorry! And unfortunately I am in class right now, but I will say I had an ENB installed before with the same setting and there was no flickering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess that tweak is ENB-dependent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

admiralrant Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 What do you recommend for the times then, if both 2 and 0.01 are bad, maybe 0.5 or 0.75? Edit: Just saw them on the guide, thanks z929669 ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z929669 Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share Posted February 7, 2014 If people would quit posting like mad ...... they might notice this post! I just finished some research on fSunUpdateThreshold & fSunUpdateTime, and the general consensus is that big numbers and small numbers are both bad. A happy medium has been suggested based on others' experiments (per my research). I will say that even with ENB, there is shadow 'wiggle' along straight edges at high noon on a clear day. If anyone has ever seen the cartoon Ed, Ed & Eddy, it is something like the wiggle of the characters' edges in that. Guide updated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoYouEvenModBro Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Just want to congratulate you on the Ed, Edd, & Eddy reference. I loved that show and I know EXACTLY what you're talking about. Also..... https://www.cracked.com/article_19882_6-insane-but-convincing-fan-theories-about-kids-cartoons_p2.html Check out #2. Sorry! Had to post this.
