You can turn them off completely in the engine.ini.

I don't remember any of the shadows looking like that when I played. Not sure what could be causing it.

Well, reinstalling the game, maybe something got messed up. "shrug"

Try "verifying the integrity of game cache" before you reinstall. It'll save you a lot of time if that fixes it.

I did it, and it didn't find anything. My guess is some file got corrupt.

What card are you using? It seems like you are the only one with this problem for now.

Try messing with the shadow settings, here is a nice guide https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/app/245280/discussions/0/792924952664793625/

Yeah the guide that I've made.... LOL

And I've sorted it, it was corrupt game file. :)

Oops, I tend to not look at nicknames XD

How do I fix the problem with shadows or is this how they look, I verified cache and all is good.

Shadow Fix:

LightEnvironmentShadows=False << Make sure this is set to false in baseengine.ini

Those ugly character self shadows are typical of early UE3 games. Mass Effect 1 in particular had the exact same problem.

If you don't want to disable the dynamic shadows entirely, try changing the DepthBias or ShadowDepthBias setting (only one or the other will be present, name was changed in later versions of UE3). This basically determines the threshold at which the engine determines something "needs" shadow. Higher values = only larger features will cast shadows, lower values = smaller features will cast shadows. E.g. at a very low value the game will try to render dynamic shadows for things like a character's nose casting a shadow on their cheek - which tends to look ugly. At higher settings only large features will cast shadows, like a character's whole head casting a shadow on their body.

Off hand I'm not sure what Enslaved's value is set to - most early UE3 games defaulted to 0.012 (which is also what Mass Effect initially defaulted to), so I'm guessing that's probably Enslaved's default value. Try changing it to 0.030, that's the suggested "go to" value for most other games with the same problem. If it still looks ugly, try bumping it up in increments of 0.01 until you get a desired result.

i've tried this and had no improvement .. it keeps looking with that ugly casted mini shadows .. :/ it's mostly in the body models .. haven't seen it yet in other model.

@chunchofett
