(Resolved) Impossible to enable Shadows on grass and shadows are off !

Hi, I had the black screen bug (when I used HDR), so it was impossible to enable HDR, and I don't know why, impossible to enable shadows on grass and the shadows settings is grey (off and impossible to change).

I fixed the HDR bug, so now I can use it but, I can't use some shadows, the line "shadows on grass" is grey and "shadows quality" is grey too with "off".

My computer is an ASUS rog G551JM with gtx860m, I can play easly with my other game and I have last drivers.

Thank you for your answers.

Are you running Windows 10 with the latest updates? Also, do you have a current or very recent driver update from Nvidia? I ask because I have the same shadow problem. The only thing that's changed recently on my computer is the recent Windows 10 update and an Nvidia update. (I have a GTX 970 4GB card.) My guess is that the shadow problem is caused by one or both of those updates.

Did some looking and found a "shady" solution on Nexus that works for me.

The mod is called "ShadeMe," and it's an OBSE plugin. It restored all of my shadow options.

Windows 10 Anniversary update uses WDDM 2.1 and Nvidia drivers v372+ enable this feature. The engine used in oblivion has issues with this new driver model, it breaks the 3.0 shaders and renderer when HDR is turned on.

You either have to revert to drivers 368 or prior, or use a replacement D3D dll file.

The one created for FO3 and NV seemed to work for me.

Or alternatively, just turn HDR off and use bloom, but shadows are still affected.
