Enabling Shadows Problem
Well, after installing spring (from the large download, the biggest one) I tried running it and it crashed. It turned out after disabling and enabling things that having shadows enabled caused spring to give the generic windows error message crash (send error report) during loading if I had shadows enabled. I've tried reinstalling and redownloading with no luck. Also I reinstalled my videocard drivers. No luck with that either.

SJ, try the Omega drivers. They're usually up to date, and have allways worked great for my 9700 mobility. I first started using them when Half Life two came out and the old official drivers were giving me random corrupted textures.

Not sure if what you're talking about, the replacement EXE, has been made available to the public, but if it is how do I test/make use of it?
And Yargnit, if you wouldn't mind, can you post your system specs?
I've got:
AMD Athlon 64 3500 939
2048MB DDR 400 RAM
Radeon 9800 Pro
Asus A8V Motherboard
Onboard sound
I'm not home right now, but I could post a dxdiag.txt if you think it would be any help.

My Specs are:
AMD 64 3200+ Socket 754 on K8t Neo (Yeah, I wish I had socket 939, but at least the 754 version of the 3200+ has 1mb L2 cache vs 512k on the 939 version)
1GB PC 3200 DDR400 RAM
Radeon X800 Pro (Catalyst 5.4)
Audiology 2 ZS
Running Win XP Pro SP2 w/direct X 9.0c (I think I have C, may just be B though)
In Catalyst I have max antialiasing & antroscopic filtering (including the new anti-aliasing they added with cat 5.4) OpenGL and Direct3d (think thats the name) are all set to max quality, and in the spring settings I have all the bars on max quality as well. I am running Spring in 1280x1024
Quick semi-on topic question for you while we are discussing systems, Spring crashes upon loading if I try 1600x1200, any idea why? (For referance I can run UT2004 on 1600x1200 with every graphic setting maxed)
Also, last Q, has anyone tried XP 64 bit, and is it worth it? (Ease of upgrade? bugs? compatibility? increased proformance?)
