Ghosting Shadows Effect?

[Mr Chr15topher]

I have just added a reshader from nexus and it seems to have revealed a strange effects issue going on with the shadows that is normally hidden.

It's not quite as easy to see from still images, but there is a slightly offset ghosting, or duplicate image, being created from the shadows. It's easier to see in the image of the map with the shadow-ship being slightly to the left of the actual ship.

And with the screenshot of the characters, the ghosts are just to their left and slightly up. This effect also happens with rocks and crates when moving around.

Has anybody else come across this and know how to fix it? I might have to remove the reshade if there's no other way of hiding it.

I'm wondering if it's a lightbox issue, as it seems more prevalent in areas with lanterns etc, although it's still an issue in daytime too.

just get rid of the mod?

[Mr Chr15topher]

I was wondering if anyone had figured out how to fix the issue, as the game looks much better with a shader on and would prefer not to play it vanilla. Shaders don't normally produce any issues, so I'm assuming it's something going wrong in the game itself.

It's not hidden, you used a shader mod that causes the shadows to bug out. -.-
That's the same as installing a random mod, a bug cropping out, and saying it was hidden before.

Go ask the mod creator about the bug, not the game creator.
Use your own reshade mod, not someone elses.
They prolly are messing with the depth buffer in the reshader settings.

@IchigoMait Thanks for pointing that out. I went through and toggled each setting off and on and found the culprit.

I thought changing the hdr effects had uncovered something you normally couldn't see with the vanilla colours. I didn't realise reshaders could create ghosting.

Gave you steam "take my points" for being who you are.
Awesome.

But yeah, for the filter overlay to work, it needs to understand the shadow depths, you can even turn basically everything off and just see shadows, and then you can adjust how it looks aka fine tune the shadows and ambient occlusion.
I'm guessing it's more likely just ambient occlusion created with the shader, but it's misaligned.
