Pip,

I am more than willing to help test demo's or settings.

Regards
Steve

Some more pics showing heavy shadowing , especially around vegetation.

The other shot shows the same but rotated a tiny amount and the vehicles look better

Anything to tell

Ah , yes playing full screen. The dock was only there for a moment, when I did a gesture zoom out , then back in.

The Air I have is the off-the-shelf 2011 i5 CPU, Intel hd3000 graphics.

I can play other game like Warcraft fine.

Thanks for the suggestion about Java, I will investigate

All scenarios, all campaigns - snow, desert , green grass.

I've never seen those white effects though..

Good idea


See the halftrack looks fine but the tanks and buildings are very dark indeed.

I tried different resolutions too, no difference

No, seems I can only use a URL to link an image.

Curiously I did a web search and found this.
Different game but describes and shows the problem precisely, with the same 2011 Air with Lion.

See the shading on the Pig ...

Enric,

Thanks for posting those. That is indeed what I was expecting the game to look like.

Were your pics done on Lion OS?


Here is the relevant part of my file:

Shadows 0
Bloom 1
Sound 1
Shaders 1
DynEnv 1
TextureQuality 2
ShadowQuality 0
Rez -1


But still very heavy shading. Sides of ...

I think perhaps I have described the problem badly.

Shadows could mean the stuff around the trees and units.

Perhaps I should've said the Shading on the units. Like a tank has solid black sides and back. Really heavy shadowing/shading

Yeah I tried that. If you choose high shadow from start menu, it puts a 1 in there too.

There is a value 'Shaders' too...1.

Got to be in here someplace

Rob, Thanks a lot for your detailed reply. Thanks to you, I found that file.

Both the Shadow and ShadowQuality were already set to 0.

Looks like its a job for Phil the Mac.

Any chance of a reply from Slitherine?

Been a few days now. How do I switch shadows off on a Mac, as the radio button selector on the intro screen doesn't work

Thanks for your reply. Thing is, I play other games on it that are shadowed normally..

Well, perhaps someone could kindly tell me the file where it writes the shadow level ? At least then I can have a go at setting it directly.

Surely I cant be the only mac user here

I've just been looking the demo videos on the site and mine doesn't looking anything like as clear or detailed.

I can confirm the demo has the same heavy shadowing.

Anyone else there paying on a Mac?

Seems whatever setting I choose for shadows, I get very heavy shadows on the game.

Sorry if this is a known problem.


Other than that , A1
