To the devs: Graphics question (shadows)

Hi guys,

I know the game is still in development and nothing is set in stone. However, I was wondering if you're still working on the graphics engine.

When moving, most of the shadows are a bit flickering which can be distracting. Is this something you might have a look at?

Would probably be a wise idea to provide your system specs, especially graphics card. I haven't noticed this myself; might be a simple matter of toggling down a couple of settings.

Can you explain further what you mean by flickering?

I have a GTX580 with 304.79 drivers. I have maxed all settings in the game - resolution 1920x1080, variance shadow mapping.

The shadows have a rather low resolution, so the edges are not smooth but always a little in motion. I made a video here:

I find it distracting, especially when many enemies and objects are on the screen.

Ah, I know what you mean now. I suppose that could be fixed by allowing higher resolution for the shadows.

I haven't heard anything specific about GGG's plans regarding that, although I wouldn't say it's out of the question.

I'm going to move this to the art & effects feedback section.

Have you tried any other driver versions? Do you run anti-aliasing?

I run GTX 580 SLI and haven't noticed that happening. I've got my AA at 8, 2560x1440 resolution. I don't remember what driver version I'm running, off-hand (currently at work so I can't check).

It is there, you just have to look closer. It is more noticeable in brighter areas. Nothing to do with the driver.

Currently, there is no SLI profile for this game, but it's not really necessary. Runs at 60fps on a single card anyway :)

Not all the time but its very obvious on brighter lit places
