Posts from Shadow display.

I noticed that the shadows of creatures in combat mode are terribly jagged. The creatures themselves and the surrounding landscape look great, but the shadows are just awful, made up of "squares":mad: All graphics options are set to maximum. I thought it was a system issue (AMD 3600+, GeForce 6800, 2GB of RAM), but at least two other people on the local network have the same problem. Can you tell me if this is a bug in the game or what? And how are your shadows in combat mode?

P.S.: Game version 1.4

Everything is fine with me, even on medium settings.

Similarly.

I don't pay any attention to shadows and turn them off in advance, as shadows cause most games to run terribly slow.

I don't pay any attention to shadows at all and turn them off in advance, as shadows cause most games to lag terribly.:)

How can I turn them off or adjust their appearance? Do I need to manually edit something in the settings? Because in the game itself, there's only a general graphics quality slider that affects not only shadows.

In Heroes, it's just not working out; I'm talking about other games and how shadows are treated as a graphical detail! In general, the developers should be contacted to add a shadow setting in the video settings soon, or better yet, provide the option to turn it off altogether.

Basically, we tested it on 5 different computers. BEFORE the patch, the shadows were great, smooth, and beautiful EVERYWHERE. AFTER patch 1.4, the SHADOWS BECAME JAGGED!! and this is the case everywhere, not just in combat mode - I only noticed this now.
That's the issue. The computers are all very different, ranging from a weak Celeron with integrated video to a quite decent one, as described in the header.

I ask you to check the shadows before 1.4 and after again (especially noticeable in combat mode, because the camera is closer to the ground).

I just checked it specifically now... everything is fine with the shadows... maybe you downloaded a corrupted patch? Or something else... because everything is fine for me... The shadows are still normal... and also check that you don't have the "simplified graphics" option checked in the settings....

The simplified graphics aren't the issue; the patch was downloaded from Nival, so I doubt it was a bad download. Otherwise, it wouldn't even launch.

I don't know, the shadows might have been glitchy before the patch. If you compare it to other games, for example, TES IV, the shadows look terrible, even with all the settings maxed out.

My system is really powerful, believe me, and I've come to accept the square aspect ratio. I also have that add-on.
