Jagged shadows in the game

Hi, I don't know why, but the shadows in my game started to look bad. They look jagged/ pixelated. Attached some screenshots. I use the highest graphic values. I did some tests on my own. Rega...

@puzzlezaddictThank you for your reply and suggestions!

I tested the various anti-aliasing options in the Nvidia control panel according to your instructions and unfortunately nothing helped. The shadows look exactly the same regardless of the settings (the situation is identical for DX 9 and 11).

This is quite strange, because I could see the differences in the game itself. For example the edges of objects in the game were smooth thanks to the settings in the control panel (anti-aliasing in the game settings was completely disabled). The one exception was specifically the shadows, they completely did not change, regardless of the settings.

@frosnese2  It is very strange, and perhaps the shadows have broken a bit in the last few patches... but I haven't seen that many complaints about it, so maybe not.  At any rate, see whether you like the results from this change:

It's not exactly what you're looking for, but perhaps it'll still help.  And if you don't like the result, you can revert the change, or just repair the game to restore the original .sgr files.
