Introduction
This mod fixes distant shadows flickering by increasing the distant shadow resolution. Most noticeable when anti-aliasing is disabled on Woods for example. Also includes an option to change shadow cascades to make nearby shadows look a bit nicer.
Performance
In testing I saw a very minimal performance impact, if at all. However, if you feel like your game is running worse then consider changing the Distant Shadow Resolution option in the config.
Preview
Installation
Just drag and drop the BepInEx folder into your SPT folder.

SMAA with 2x supersampling is a game changer. It's like putting on glasses for the first time.

I never realised my trees were flickering that bad until I downloaded this mod. Excellent work!

Hey. This is awesome thanks. I have to try new SMAA option i guess but wanted to say original version works great.

I just tested this on my main server and all I have to say this is EXTREMELY useful. As someone who is sensitive to flicker and aliasing, this is a MASSIVE help.
Suggestion: potentially another anti-flicker feature: SMAA is a Unity Engine staple form of anti-aliasing. Do you think that could also be added as a bepinex mod toggle? This would eliminate edge shimmer, as SMAA is very nice for distant elements. (SMAA on reshade doesn't have enough information to work with)

thank you! i could look into it

I just saw the SMAA update and HAD to try it immediately.
It has a nice effect. I think this in combination with FSR3 when 3.10 comes out + some reshade fuckery may make for a 0 ghosting, sharp experience.
Nicely done!

Oh and if you want an additional challenge (and ofc if you wish to hear / need expansion ideas), I shit you not I dreamed about it vaguely.
I am not sure whether this is possible / feasible, but a internal resolution slider is something BSG has refused to add. 2x SSAA (SuperSampling) and 4X give incredible performance deductions, which only sort of makes sense as they should not be THAT taxing at their respective settings.
Allowing users to set a resolution scale to something like 125% or 150% is another way users with spare power (especially the guys on 1080P displays) could make a use of their CPU bottleneck and push that GPU to be used a little more (and clean up the near edges of the screen).

I'm having an issue with endless loading on launch (with the EFT splash screen). Removing the .dll seems to fix it. Install should be just the typical drag and drop bepinx into the main folder, correct?

i suspect it may be something else but send me your modlist and logs on discord anyway

just wanted to fix some things that have been bugging me

I always thought that it was my shitty (well, for 2024 standard) GPU not being able to handle Tarkov's awful system. I guess that the anti aliasing should just keep up with modern standards instead....

THANK YOOOOU!!!

Tested and it works, no noticeable drop in fps.
10/10!
Thanks again!

I have always hated TAA in games for making things blurry. I want a sharpness to things but always find a compromise to reduce the jaggies. I cannot do this in Tarkov and flickering of various things take my attention away from me. I've learned to deal with it now.
Until this legend said "No more" and dropped this bombshell.

woods was literally unplayable for me for the longest time because of this lol
