Question about shadows...

[FrancoisH]

I would like to know what you thing about the shadows... I find those really "piexlised"... I tried with FSAA... with different drivers... Do you think it's normal, due to a deffective GPU (6600GT here) or something like that ?

Thanks.

Here is included a screenshot :

Im running a 6800.
When i run the game on 1024 by 768 the shadows look like they do on ur screen.
However when i run at 1280 by 1024, apart from the game looking much better, the shadows look more solid.

But dont expect the game to run smoothly on the single player missionse (or any map with lots of buildings and explosions and generaly lots of war) especially in the big city when there are battles and stuff...even my computer gets owned to hell.

When i run the game on 1024x768 with high shadow level (i have 9600XT), i have no problems in general, shadows look solid enough, and i can't see a pixel.
However im experiencing some problems with underground objects - they cast negative shadows. I.e. when i upgrade US headquarters status to defcon1 i can see shadows of it's wall on some camera angles, even if the wall isn't deployed.

lol aluka i hope u dont attack with more then one tank at a time, and i hope u only fight in outdoor areas lol.
With a 9600 XT, id hate to see a city battle with lots of stuff blowing up.

Everything runs without a single lag. Runs excellent. If you had any problems with 9600xt, or have seen on other PC - problem wasn't in card. Or if you don't know how game should work on this adapter - please dont post something like this.

Aluka im running a 6800 now.
I ran a 9600 pro before that.
I know exactly what and how games run on 9600 series cards.
The XT is slightly better then the PRO, but all in all its the same performance.
I find it hard to belive that i get lag on my system (2.6 p4 @ 800 fsb, 1 gig ddr 400, 6800) in big maps with lots of buildings and lots of explosions and stuff happening...and you dont get any lag on your 9600 XT?

Im running 1280 by 1024 max shadows, max textures etc...

Im running 1024x768, everything on max (except video i have similar conf.). And yes, i get some lags but mostly at the start (ofcourse it's not because of video), but they aren't annoying. Probably it's because of some cooperation eugen had with ati. By the way, surprisingly i've noticed that AoW runs on my pc faster then BFME. With TI4600 card everything was on the countrary.
