hHllo, i m having some issues with vireio 2.02 and skyrim, it s a bit hard to explain but will try my best , i m having some light strobing in the shadows as for an example when loading a new game in the loading screen you should see the dragon and i m seeing below the dragon some strobing lights, having the same issues with trees and everything related with shadows , will try to download fraps and upload a video for you to understand better, can you help me pls.
i have tried vireio with portal 2 and works fine i m using a backup of skyrim with no mods and have uninstalled all mods, there is just nexus manager installed on my computer so i think i m using vanilla skyrim, nvidia 3d driver is installed too.
and this is my skyrimprefs.ini file (only put general, imagespaces and display sections of the files)

There are two possibilities:

1. Is there a second skyrimprefs.ini file? You may have to set bDeferredShadows=0 in a second file.

2. Are you using an Intel 4000 series GPU? Are you running on a notebook computer with hybrid graphics of some kind? This may be problematic.

Do the shadows work in other parts of Skyrim? What about other games like Left4Dead?

Neil

well i have 2 skyrimprefs ini but i did put bDeferredShadows=0 in both, my computer is a notebook with nvidia gtx 675m and i7 3610qm 8gb ram but i use my nvidia gpu when playing skyrim (I used nvidia 3d parameter), should i change this line sD3DDevice="Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000 to sD3DDevice="nvidia geforce gtx 675m" ? left 4 dead is uninstalled but i have half life 2 and bioshock. the shadows are acting weird everywhere.

edit: so i finally solved my issue, i disabled ambient occlusion in my nvidia 3d parameter and now everything works fine, thanks for your time neil
