Do you run spring with shadows on?

Yes, GTX430.

I find that LOS guesstimation works fine most of the time. Experimented with some widget implementations of the view but couldn't get either of them to work satisfactorily.

What is a proper LOS-view? I don't want simple round circles. I want to know what I can see, this includes ALos. To me the system could be improved if the visualisation update speed was as fast as the underlying system.

Yes thats what I mean: Faster update, higher resolution and the ability to render shadows/ssmf at the same time.

[ginekolog]

no shadows, i like 20+fps with 4000+ units on map (like in FFAs)

You could use FPSManager to disable shadows in late game automatically:

I think that pathing and stuff is way more limiting than shadows if you have 4000 units. Did someone test if disabling shadows in late game really increases framerate significantly?

[Coresair]

Yes.

Sli GTX 460s ran by an i7 2600k (4.6ghz) and 8GB ddr3 1600 ram.

9800gt ran by a Q8200 (2.33ghz) and 6GB ddr2 800 ram.

[Sheekel]

No. 8800GT. I use LOS-view (press L ingame) which disables shadows anyway.

[Rafal99]

GTS450 here
No shadows because last time I tried it meant 50% less FPS, while I prefered to have better terrain LOD range and more particles.
Going to try /shadows 2 now.

[PicassoCT]

shadowrun is so 80s

[Pxtl]

No. 8800GT. I use LOS-view (press L ingame) which disables shadows anyway.

Ditto.

[forest_devil]

yes i use shadows

ati HD 56XX series 512 mb

i used top settings for everything (except water) unless i play zk or evo

[HeavyLancer]

Yes, running an Nvidia GT540M 1GB.

[MidKnight]

Yes. ATi Radeon HD 4870

LOS? That's for pros. Not noobs like me.

[Carpenter]

HD5770 and nope, not using shadows. Used to but then I figured it's not helping to keep up a good gameplay in late games when playing FFA/long team games.

[rattle]

9800GT 1GB RAM
shadows 4096
bump mapped water

[PicassoCT]

bump mapped water

This and ATI make Forb howl,twitch and scream at night.

[trideceth12]

GTX260

No

And actually i think the shadows look shit anyway

[Soul]

Shadows and water are the only thing graphicwise that comes close to (or even beats) new games that have a tonload of money behind its production so yes, i have shadows on.

ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5870 ; VRAM: 1GB

And actually i think the shadows look shit anyway

wut?

[LulzLizard]

no and ati 3000 series (shit gfx card)

for all you with good gfx I seriously recommend trying bump mapped water with all the bump mapped settings on highest, it looks just amazing
