Introduction

This mod fixes distant shadow flickering which was most noticeable with anti-aliasing disabled. Also includes options to configure some shadow-related variables, enable SMAA and configure TAA.

Performance

In testing I saw a very minimal performance impact, if at all. However, if you feel like your game is running worse then consider changing the Distant Shadow Resolution option in the config. Enabling shadow changes will most likely reduce FPS by some amount depending on the config.

  • Added options to configure shadow resolution, decrease factor, minimum distance and intervals.
    • Some of these WILL reduce fps, so I’ve kept the changes disabled by default.

This mod makes my game look like no AA at all on 1440p. Tried no TAA in Tarkov settings with SMAA on in the mod, all ultra. Still looks like default FXAA

at 1440p id rather just use regular TAA. maybe. TAA tweaks (by default) are aimed towards 1080p

Well, for everyone who needs a tip:

  1. don’t use it if you have OLED
  2. you don’t need it if u enable all AA features in NVIDIA control panel to maximum
  3. Most suitable for 1080p
  4. Tried it to use on 3 different displays without any additional configs from anywhere - always had flickering textures of thin things like wires, railings and etc.

Do the TAA changes work when DLSS is enabled?

0 Likes

yes but barely saw a difference with preset K

0 Likes

i figured as much. preset K gives me slightly worse performance bc i have a 2070 but the old convolutional presets look absolutely terrible so i suppose the TAA changes would have more impact on those presets

Absolutely loving the TAA adjustment abilities you gave us. Question: when the option is first enabled, using the “reset” button defaults: is this the original TAA parameter or is it something you made as a default when the option is enabled?

those are my custom values

Ah no wonder I saw immediate improvement. Absolutely love it.

Hi, so since you’ve tinkered with shadows, I figured you would have an answer. Is there any way to disable dynamic shadows completely? Be it a mod or some .json file to edit? Ty.

i dont have much to go off here, config? map? time of day? other mods?

Experiencing similar issues. Although my modpack consists of 48 names, so can’t fully confirm it is this fix specifically yet, or even if it is, whether it is caused by conflict with another mod.

Most notorious map for me is Customs. It seems that any kind of gradual lighting change that happens when clouds go over the sun is gone, and it becomes as if someone is jerking the brightness switch constantly.

Time of day is always between 10am and 17pm for this map too. Season is set using SimpleSeasonSelector to Spring.

Fix config is default for me. will try just disabling the mod and posting here regarding what I found.

how can i prevent the shimmering edges on objects which are noticably moving when SMAA enabled. of course the image is much more clearer now but the glazing edges and lines of textures are very noticable and sometimes causes confusion with enemy movement . i dont have the shadow option enabled, only the SMAA one. but all in all Nice Mod buddy

previously i used a combination of fxaa, smaa and sharpening with reshade and that gave a somewhat better result but aside from that you really cant do much to get rid of the shimmering without using taa.

this mod has been causing the sun to wildly flash during morning and evening raids, making use of this mod impossible in my case. removing it and turning AA back on fixed my issue.
