Buggy Shadows

[cobb0]

I have shadows set on high.

GTX 960, i3-4170 CPU, let me know if any other info needed.

I have seen this on my imac as well.. especially with the shadow my own character spawns

I dont think anyone plays with shadows on high. This was one of the settings we squeezed more FPS out of.

Hmm. This is interesting. I don't play with my shadows on max and I haven't really ever noticed this but it's probably a thing none the less. It looks as though the shadows shake with your camera position. @OldZeke @tandel Any thoughts?

I play on high too, I see odd stuff now and then, but nothing that really annoys me or changes game play.

I'll try and keep a little closer eye on it to see if there is a pattern.

Busy day here today, I'll look at it tomorrow.

I honestly can't tell the difference between any of the shadow settings - I've restarted the game, etc., switching b/w them, and they all look virtually the same.  One of these pictures is low and... one of them is high, I forget which was which.

Here's another video I took that's not on the frontline (so maybe less impact from other game elements).  Notice that the shadows glitch around when I am physically bumping off the terrain, vs. not glitching around (as much) when I'm on flat road.  It would seem that my character's movement affects how the shadows glitch.

Yeah, you get so used to seeing bugged stuff you kind of forget about it, lol.  With steam release being a plan, I'm trying to pay attention to stuff that incoming players would be like "lol they still haven't fixed THAT?!"

Oops I guess I edited my post one too many times, just another quick note:
As infantry, the shadows stay stock-still.  It's only as the Pak or Flak that this occurred (infantry doesn't "bump" off the ground, but rolling ATGs and AA guns do, it seems), and I would assume, based on how vehicles "bump" off the ground, that it would occur in them as well.

Hope ya can fix it!

Yep it's triggered by camera "shake". The more the unit jiggles up and down the more the shadows dance.

[Tandel]

Yep, I agree with oldzeke. Camera Shake. I see this alot with graphics on low.
