Shadows don't render on terrain

[nicedanmonkey]

I have a laptop with a nvidia geforce GT 550M GPU. It will not render shadows of units on the terrain but the shadows will show up on the unit itself.

For example, you will not see the shadow of the commander on the ground but you will see it if it walks in front of a factory.

Any idea on how to fix this?

build a silouette factory ? ; )

Sorry

Here's a screen shot of the problem I'm having. You can see the windmill's shadow on the factory but not on the ground.

quote of one change in 89.0 (you are using 88.0):

• LOS et al. are rendered now through the GLSL terrain shader (-> shadows in LOS-view)

I have used both 88.0 and 89.0 and the issues exists with both engine versions. Also, I don't play with the LOS view on so I don't think that feature would help.

I fixed the problem. In the zero-k lobby I went to Settings - Adv. Settings - Edit Engine Settings (GUI). I then clicked on the "Engine Default" button which I guess changes all the settings back to their default values.

Unfortunately, I have no idea which setting(s) was causing the problem but everything seems to work well now.

BTW, I love how you can now see shadows in the LOS view. I may have to start using that.
