Crash: Enabling Shadows

Loading map with shadows Enabled crashes to desktop as map load begins.

Occured each and every time. Shadows worked fine before in last version, so I don't think it's my computer.

Otherwise nice work! Spring feels much more evolved and smooth now.

Since I upgraded from 0.67b3 to 0.70b1 enabling shadows makes the load proccess crash.
It happens on "loading units and weapons"
I tried changing every single button in the settings tab (except the devel messages), but no good (unless I uncheck shadows)

Shadows worked very well on 67b3

Shadows work for me, I turn them off when I'm playing because they still kick the crap out of your fps, but they work when I'm taking screenshots and stuff.

Well therefore they must work for everyone.

Spiked, make sure it isn't the map crashing, several maps in the new version aren't stable any more. There's a thread in the mapping forum on it.

It isn't the map -- I had to update my ATI Catalyst drivers. Shadows work fine now (and I do mean fiiiinnnneeee, rrrreeeooowwwrrr.)
