M2TW !! No Shadow on DX10 cards !!
Hi all,
I just want to report here a (big) problem in M2TW (also in Kingdoms)
The game doesn’t display the shadows of vegetation on the battlefield.
This happens with any DX10 card.
However, shadows are displayed in the 1st demo (not the gold)
This looks like a problem from the game itself on all DX10 cards
The official thread about this issue is at the official TW forum
Please join and help us to get a patch!!

Re: M2TW !! No Shadow on DX10 cards !!
It was already told to CA developers months before Kingdoms release. Good luck with your Crusade.
Re : Re: M2TW !! No Shadow on DX10 cards !!
Yes, i know it's an old problem.
In fact this problem exists since the releases of M2TW and the first DX10 card.
(~10/2006)
Anyway thanks for your support ;)

I could list 100 other bugs I would rather have fixed before this one. Fix the gameplay bugs before fixing broken eyecandy.
Re : M2TW !! No Shadow on DX10 cards !!
Yep dude, just tell that to CA/SEGA.

Uuups i forgot to precise that this problem occurs only on battlemaps :oops:
Re: Re : M2TW !! No Shadow on DX10 cards !!
Has everyone raising such an uproar is using dx10 as in Vista? M2 was written for dx9 as in xp when Vista was still a dream. I doubt you will ever see M2 with dx10's bells and whistles with them working on Empire.
Re : M2TW !! No Shadow on DX10 cards !!
No, no.
M2 is a DX9 game, played with DX9 on a DX9-DX10 card.
That must be the problem...

Hi,
The shadow bug (+many) is fixed with the last patch

But only for kingdoms.
To get the shadows in the main game, apply the retrofit mod
