How to fix shadows and black levels bug?

As seen in the screenshot here:

In interiors only, the black levels make the game almost pitch black and the character shadows look blocky and turn white when approaching the outside. The game is unplayable in this state. I've got an RTX 3070, latest W10 updates and latest Nvidia drivers.

Bump. Mods need to delete spam about pronouns and focus on actual problems.

Similar, yet more interesting issue: shadows are blocky, and quite literally inverted. I also have the overly dark level problem, and the flashlight doesn't work. This absolutely renders the game unplayable.

Will report back if I can figure out why, but I'm not going over the magic 2 hour playtime limit. Out of the gate, this is ridiculous.

I have that exact same issue with the shadows being inverted and flashlight barely working... yeah it's unplayable lol

Would love to hear back!

Hi, try do delete the shader cache.
You will found the cache on your local harddisk: user\*yourname*\AppData\Local\Starfield\
delete file "Pipeline.cache"
Start the game, it generates a new shader cache mayby it will work.

We had a similiar problem in this threat https://steamcommunity.com/app/1716740/discussions/0/3824173464657231177/?ctp=2

and the people report it works fine now.

Did you try going to Nvidia control panel program settings and resetting all of the graphic features there? That fixed the broken lighting for me in the Kreet Lab
