no shadows with shaders v1?

**rawghi** · October 09, 2006, 01:13 PM

Hi to all, I notice that with shader version 1, the game didn't display any shadows. DO you know if it is normal or it is a feature that are not included in the demo version?
Thanks

I can play with everything max without to much lag.

Thats my settings right now. I dont like shadows etc.

But when I first got the demo, I didnt change the video settings It remained on Shader Version 1. Then I noticed in the game, NO BLOOD! NO MUDD!
So then I came to the forums and 1 day later I realized that you need to change it to shader version 2.
And by the way. An recomendation is to have Reflections on, It loooks so awesome with it. But have Bloom off then.

Yes i see this also, but I'm wonder why with shaders1 they weren't active! (bacause with shaders1 I play smoothly even battles with unit_size set to 80)

It probably just doesnt support the Shadow types in m2tw.
But dont make any conclusion on the real game, by playing an seing this demo.

Yes, you're right, the demo availeble is a version 2 months old, and neither the "official" demo. I tell a stupidity about unit size, I check and adding 80 to the size change nothing...
I check with Fraps, with Shaders v1 on high setting I got ca. 30 Fps, with Shaders v2 always on high settings I got 15 Fps (but AA & AF are turned OFF)
