Shadows stopped working out of nowhere

Post by kujeger »

Hello!

I was playing spring with shadows enabled, but suddenly today after turning on my computer it stopped working; it gives me a generic error message (illegal operation blah blah) as soon as I try to start a game with shadows enabled. Disabling shadows makes everything run allright.

I tried searching around but I couldn't find any solution. Does anyone have any idea what's going on?

I'm running the latest official drivers on a Radeon 9800 pro 128mb.

I need my sweet shadows :(

Weird. I guess something must have changed, this could either be the video driver or a corrupt exe or setting. Sorry I can't give you a real solution :)

I've already tried reinstalling spring, but I suppose I can try to reinstall the videodrivers. Thanks for the suggestion!

edit: Seems reinstalling the drivers fixed it.
