I've got this bug also... Shadows are 'squared' (smoke, trees, missile...)

E6600, 8800 GTS 640 MB (latest drivers).

smoke has a squared shadow on a lot fo systems as it is because alpha transparencies arent taken into account. I would get square smokes shadows on my FX5200.

I wasn't talking about square shadows...

I was talking about the fact that shadows do not render properly when they fall over the water.

I know, but datomas did mention them and that was who I was responding to.

Avoid grainy shadows if your card supports larger maps, ...
Oh and if you're not talking about the pixellisation but just complaining that your shadows don't comply perfectly to the law of optics, well, I've seen much worse bugs with shadows.

Where to put "/shadows 1 4096"?

On Spring.exe shortcut? In game console?

Thanks!
