Not a good shot at all, just a test. My first attempt at posting an image.

well, wad'ya know, it works!

Hi tonschk!

In which file the settings are made? Can you tell me the path to the file please, or can you please upload your file for me?

Best regards,
Magic

Hello Magic :salute:, apparently the hard code for the SH5 dynamic shadows have bugs and therefore probably such hard code is partially borked, doesn't work correctly or misbehaves, tweaking the dynamic shadows settings can help to some extent but cannot fully fix the SH5 blurred shadows problem, if I increase the shadows resolution by tweaking only the shadows settings, the range of the shadows decrease proportionally to the increase in resolution, if I increase just the "HighResolution" value above 4600, the frame per seconds decrease exponentially. The path to the SH5 shadows settings is ; Silent Hunter 5/data/Cfg/Shadows/

Below I show you my currently shadows settings, keep in mind that the final solution for the SH5 blurred shadows problem is to fix the SH5 shadows hard code

[Shadows]
NumCascades=3.0
LowResolution=4600.0
HighResolution=4600.0

[Interior]
FarPlane=1.0
ExtrudeCamera=5.0
DepthBias=0.0005
DepthSlopeBias=1.0
Split0=0.07
Split1=0.27
Split2=1.0
FilterSizeSplit0=1.0
FilterSizeSplit1=1.0
FilterSizeSplit2=1.0

[Bridge]
FarPlane=400.0
ExtrudeCamera=6.0
DepthBias=0.00001
DepthSlopeBias=3.0
Split0=0.0010
Split1=0.0015
Split2=0.0023
FilterSizeSplit0=1.0
FilterSizeSplit1=1.0
FilterSizeSplit2=1.0

[Exterior]
FarPlane=360.0
ExtrudeCamera=50.0
DepthBias=0.0000015
DepthSlopeBias=3.0
Split0=0.010
Split1=0.015
Split2=0.023

FilterSizeSplit2=1.0

WOW, many thx for Reply tonschk! :up:

I´ll give your settings a try! :yeah:

Best regards,

I hope I am wrong :hmmm:, I hope the hard coded Dynamic Shadows for SH5 are OK and may be you will be able to find a better "Magic" settings for the Shadows of SH5:salute:

That is awesome Sober. :yeah: I hadn't realised what DOF actually was until I saw these screenshots. As soon as I RTB this will bee installed.

I just realised one thing..... night time attacks using the deck gun will be almost impossible with this mod. :wah: LOL

Try identifying a flag at night :haha:

It's an atom bomb, a mushroom or a hat. :haha:
