Shadow Striping in Mass Effect 3
Hi For some reason I am getting horrible shadow striping in ME3 on dynamic shadows outside and sometimes inside of cutscenes. The vast majority of the time cutscenees are fine but the second the cut...

Wow, that's the second relevant necropost I saw in a day. Must be something in the Air. 😉
A little advise, if you tell somebody to edit the the "Coalesced.bin" of ME3 you also need to tell him where he can find the Tool to do so. ME3 - Coalesced Utility
(For everyone, make a Backup of your "Coalesced.bin" before you use the tool)
Don't take this Post as a critique, that's not my intention, in the contrary, I like the fact that you try to help people.
I'm having this same issue and I could really use someone's help. I have edited so many shadow variables (one at a time) and nothing seems to work.
Before anyone suggests repairing my game or completely re installing, I've done this many times. I just want this gone.
. I've tried changing shadowdepthbias to many other values in a large range between 0 and 1 and nothing actually make a it go away besides disabling dynamic shadows.
Here's some screenshots of the issue

- I use a GTX 1080 ti, latest drivers, just checked for new ones yesterday. I use a ALOT texture mod. I made my game vanilla and tried going in game again to see if it was the mod ALOT but it wasnt.
I vanilla my me3 by renaming the folder to "bak mass effect 3" and then I install mass effect 3 through origin as if it was never installed. After installation, I recheck the game. Oh and I delete my gamersettings.ini file and create a new one by starting up the game or running the me3 configuration tool, setting up my display settings and saving the changes.
It's so unfortunate this happens. I forgot to mention that I reinstalled the latest gpu drivers properly through DDU but that made no difference. The only setting that changes anything about the striped shadows is shadowdepthbias=
The lower the number, the thinner the stripes are, meaning they are spaced closer together. Higher numbers closer to the end spectrum of 1 reduce dynamic shadows but create larger, more pronounced shadow stripes.
Not sure if i shoukd mention this but this issue was happening before I got my GTX 1080 ti. I had a 1080 before this and I had the same issue as now.So "shadowdepthbias=" without a value works? Never tested that, what is the effect in game?
Did you tested with numbers below full digits like 0.08?
Also try to change "texturegroup_apl_xxx" / xxx =1024 - 512 to "1" if it is "0" could be a LOD issue as well.
