It’s regarding the shadow stuttering every 5 seconds or so.

✭✭✭✭✭Report it in game so they can better understand issue. Honestly on this one I simply think just aren't aware about it.

✭✭✭Honestly, I'm not sure that I've stood still long enough to notice this. Either that or it's just something that I've become numb to.
I'll have to check it out tonight after work.

Really was hoping you wouldn’t say that

M_Volsung✭✭✭✭✭I use a clock add-on in my game and I've noticed that this seems to happen when the time changes.Edited by M_Volsung on February 23, 2019 8:48PM"In the Deep Halls, Far from Men;

This is on purpose to save CPU cycles. The position of the sun is not constantly updated (every frame) but instead, every 5 seconds or so, the position of the sun is advanced and to prevent the shadows from instantly jumping to the new location, they try to smooth it out by moving them from the old position to the new position over a roughly 1 second time slice.
Skyrim has a some INI settings that allow you to effectively turn this off and make the sun and its shadows move in real time but it does drop the overall framerate due to the extra computations needed and introduces shadow flickering around sharp shadow edges.

I see, do you think it’ll ever be changed? I wouldn’t mind if it was subtle, but it’s not. It’s a harsh stutter that once you see it, you’ll never unsee it.0 -

I doubt it. I did a quick check through the ESO client and i couldn't find any reference to a setting that would allow you to modify the timer for the sun shadows.
In Skyrim, you can add these two settings:
fSunShadowUpdateTime=0.0
fSunUpdateThreshold=1.0
under the [Display] section in your Skyrim.ini to make the shadows move each frame.

I think it's time for me to dust off Skyrim and go enjoy some new real-time shadows Edited by Suddwrath on February 23, 2019 10:13PM0
