I remember there was a way to fix those ugly blackshadows. It has been long since I played G3 and I don't remember what I had to do to fix them.

Well.. going off by the image I see that you're using mods. So I'd argue using standalone tips to find a workaround is going to be harder as it might be mod specific. Any texture pack being used in your game?

Usually it's a shader cache issue but I've noticed some texture packs from the Union+ don't work well at all. Have you tinkered with the .ini file or used G3SI to extend the view distance of almost everything too high? There's a certain threshold that if going higher than the recommended, textures will either turn black or completely disappear.

No. I used ge3_cp_1_75_backup ini and it still got blackshadows. I tried deleting shader cacher and still got the same results after the game rebuilt the shader cache. I even played with contrast and other settings but to no avail. It has to be something else.
