I deleted all my .cfg files from base and was suprised to find this shadow option called "Projected". I didnt noticed it before. When i turned it on, i got these shadows:

 

 

 

This is Simular to Volurmic (sp?). But better FPS with "Projected".

 

The thing is how did i get this shadow? I havent seen it before nor seen screenshots with it.

 

Is it because my card supports this feature?

c'mon crow, you should know having shadows on isnt good for fps - plus the game is mostly travelling so fast, you really dont have time to notice them.....

 

shadows off for me

yes i know that. If you lag alot with shadows, maybe its your RAM. (You're using GeForce FX Go5700 right?)

 

You shouldn't have much frame drops with DG or shadows with a good card like that. I'm using a GeForce FX 5700 Ultra, i have DG on with projected shadows and i can still get 57 fps.

What ! you get 57fps with DG on, no fair ! I have a Geforce FxGo 5600, but Im sure I need to fiddle with my bios setting(as per the wonderful guide by 'saberstaff') to find a way to help...... as you have seen, I get 30%+ drop in fps..... maybe that or new drivers, which arent terribly forthcoming on laptop video cards......

i put vsync off and i can hit to 80-90 fps with projected shadows and dynamic glow!
