shadows in skyrim fix

watch whole thing you will see difference around 13 seconds in
changing
fInteriorShadowDistance=
fShadowDistance=

in SkyrimPrefs.ini so far is the only way I found to make the close up shadows not look like garbage in this game.
Right now I have my set to
fInteriorShadowDistance=1000.000
fShadowDistance=2000.0000

just adjust till you get best mix of distance in shadows and decent looking up close shadows

if someone knows how to get rid of that damn HDR/BLOOM lighting effect let me know it drives me crazy!

just an update the change doesn't work as well indoors. Also it doesn't work as well in different parts of the game..
there's a good thread here http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=451616

still working out trying to find best settings

For a much weaker HDR effect try this in console "SHP 1000 7 7 0.7 3 1 4 1 0.05"."php" in console to see what parameters you modify, feel free to experiment.The default values are "shp 35 7 7 0.7 3 1 1 1 0.05"

@Olengher

To disable HDR, if you haven't figured it out yet, have this in your skyrimprefs.ini, mine is at the bottom.

[BlurShaderHDR]

bDoHighDynamicRange=0

[BlurShader]

bUseBlurShader=0

shadow distance of 2000 is a bit extreme, you will get shadow pop-ins while outdoors. 4000 is a good trade-off, i found. indoor shadow distance actually doesn't affect shadow quality, but rather the maximum distance at which light sources will be rendered. so if you change indoor shadow distance you will get light pop-ins - very distracting.

@sanosuke1981 you mean the automatic logout thing ( playing a game. suddenly you're at your desktop?? ) backward flying dragons etc... most bugs are fixed
