Fallout 4: Unraveling the Shadowy Puzzle

The menacing black shadows that plague Fallout 4 can be a source of frustration. Disabling “Ambient Occlusion” in the in-game settings or using the console command “coc qasmoke” to access the “Shadow Boost” slider offers effective remedies.

Demystifying the Shadow Anomaly

To resolve the shadowy issue, locate the “ini” file in Fallout 4’s installation directory. Modify the following lines:

  • bEnableShadowBoost=1
  • fShadowBoost=0.7
  • fShadowDistance=3000.0000
  • fShadowLODStartFade=2000.0000 Adjusting these settings enhances shadow quality while mitigating the black shadow glitches.
