birdstrike Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 This is definitely related to light conditions in the scenario. I have scenarios where everything looks perfect while in others there appear jagged shadows at certain distances. This screenshot was taken with zoom from about 50-100m in Allah's Fist and that's about the worst that shadows get for me: this is from another scenario, same distance, different light condition: EDIT: game version is 1.04, I got a 7600GT, 163.71 WHQL drivers 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpl Steiner Posted October 7, 2007 Author Share Posted October 7, 2007 birdstrike, Thanks for the pics. I was going to post some of my own but they look identical so no point. I wonder if there is anything in this z-buffer thing - i.e. that the way CM:SF does shadows is not the way other games do it and this is causing the card problems displaying them? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1A1TC Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 BFC can we get an official response please? There are a lot of people with these problems. What could be causing it? I dont want to play this game with shadows off for the rest of my life 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darius359au Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 @ birdstrike that looks about the same as I get too ,usually less stripy more jaggy/sawtoothed looking. Its a pain too because with 1.04 I'm running the graphics at best/best with 4xAA and 16AF now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birdstrike Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Remember, the upper pic is zoomed in, so because of the normal viewing distance it's not very noticable in the game. For sake of completeness, here is two more pictures, both from Allah's Fist: This is from point blank range (no zoom), as you can see, there are no problems. This here is the same tank from a little farther away, some 20-50m or so (zoomed in), and this is where the shadows get the noticable "saw effect". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madmatt Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Those type of jagged shadows are not isolated to just CMSF but a variety of other games have them as well. That's not a explantion, just a comment. Having said that, when we can, we will always try to improve the look (and sound) of the game, but for the moment we are still concentrating on the biggest gameplay issues and since shadows are still basically a cosemetic thing (but yes, they are cool) it's a lower priority issue compared to others.
