After having terminal slowdown under 1.3 I's completely forgotten to test shadows with 1.4 but having just completed a Xenon Invasion mission I was impressed just how smooth it was!!!

I've recently foudn that Shadows work better on my system than they used to. I think some of the changes are driver issues though. The previous driver i had was making the game abit jumpy in general but the new version i got a few days ago are much smoother.

A radeon 9200SE and the drivers are the latest ones from the ATI site.

I'm running on XP aswell if that makes a differance.

If you go there, you will die.
Brute force and ignorance solves all problems, just not very efficiently.

If brute force isn't working, then you aren't using enough.

:( honestly, i do not like shadows. i am using ati radeon 9600xt, 2.4ghz cpu, win xp.
when i enabled shadow, and enter a station for example terrcom headquater, the shadows of docked ship made me dizzy. :x
so i shut shadow down

Yeah, got the system really and it wasn't that hot for me either. I guess
you get used to one thing and want to leave it at that.
