Shadows dont work

Post by Generuler »

When I start the game an error message appears in the chat window:
"You are missing an openGL extension needed to use shadowmaps (fragment program shadow)"
The shadows dont work ingame, even thought i turned them on in the settings.

I have a Geforce4Ti4200 Graphics card and have installed the normal geforce drivers.
Can anyone help me?
Thx already, Generuler
