Wait there's something about the OS that says "windows 7 home premium 64-bit (6.1, build 7600)

 

[oskerobservers3]

it just says that the current display mode is 32 bit

You can find the latest driver for your video card here. It was officially released this past July. It may or may not help with your problem. Some of the latest drivers actually created problems with some applications so make sure to make a set point in case you need to roll back to your old driver if it makes things worse.

it says 64 bit but the current settings is 32 bit

 

[Dagmar]

Lol. You need the 64 bit driver which you can find here (same release date). Your OS is 64 bit. The display mode isn't relevant for the driver.

oh ok sorry. Thanks!

I'd just like to say that my shadows are fixed now! Thanks to everyone who helped

We should create a new theard that will have all solutions in one post. I will send one more e-mail to Bethesda to see if something changed.

I have had skyrim for about a month now and have been able to run it on medium graphics settings with gamebooster on (my laptop is absolute crap) I have not encountered any bugs until now.
I dont know what I did but now when I walk in a shady area (like under a tree or close to a house) the whole screen darkens and looks really horrible. I have tried everything i could think of to fix this. I have put my shadow settings to high, I updated my graphics card (again) and I even re-downloaded skyrim. Nothing works.

As you can see there is a screenshot of helgen as i was standing in the shadows

Details:
My Graphics adapter is an AMD M880G with ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4200
I have a 64-bit windows 7 PC
I know almost nothing about computers

Was there a Skyrim update recently that made this happen? Steam likes to update everything without telling me so i dont know.

I appreciate any help that you can give.
Thank you for your help

Oh and BTW sorry that im probably in the wrong section of the forums. Im a noob

Hello.

I had this glitch and I fixed it. I took the following steps to do this:

1) I opened skyrimprefs.ini and I set iShadowMapResolutionSecondary=1024
iShadowMapResolutionPrimary=1024 under [Display].
2) I opened Launcher to set my settings on High but with High Radial Blur Quality.

Hope it works for you as it does for me. I was having shadow problems such as random flickering and when it was day and sunny, I would get odd shade shadows over the playing field.

AMD FX 6100 six-core processor @ 3.3 GHz
8GIG RAM
Windows 7 64 Bit
EVGA Geforce GTX 600

Cheers.
