    Does anyone know what graphical settings are causing shadows to either overlap/clip and blur on characters, look extremely blocky on objects or choppy overall? This is driving me nuts.

    At first it was in Skyrim, so I thought it must have been something in the mods or the game's engine, but it happens in Borderlands 2 and many others as well. Does anyone know what do I need to turn off to make this glitch stop?

    Thanks in advance!

    Don't know to be honest with you, I run Borderlands just fine without having anything adjusted, try re-installing the drivers? Which drivers are you running?

    It did that on all of my driver versions.

    Everything runs perfectly, it just an annoyance here and there.

    That is odd. I'll look through and see if I can find a setting that mimics the effect in BL2 and Skyrim.

    I know the skyrim shadows are just awful.. there is an HD shadows mod out there that makes it look a lot better.
