Scratchy shadows on character models?

[Grit]

It's an effect that every player experiences while they have character shadows turned on from the in-game graphics configuration menu.

You can suppress the problem by fine-tuning your graphics settings (outside of the game). The weird shadows are less noticeable at higher resolutions, and some people claim that they go away with certain levels of anti-aliasing (16xCSAA), although you may find that your PC can't handle the specifications necessary. Turning up shadow quality helps as well.

The other option is obviously to turn off character shadows entirely.
