What is wrong with my shadows?

[Nerd_Guy 4]

Okay, pictures are worth thousands of words, so:

PS:  All of the graphics settings are on high, including shadows.

I appologize if the images are too big, my computer says they are fine, but I'm not sure.

I think I had this before... See if your graphics settings is on "Hardware", not "Software"... I think that's the right way

I still have this problem, and reading gil363's post, I went to the game and changed the Software to Hardware, and restarted the game, and well, it's totally messed up. Half of the things don't show up on the screen, it's all stretched and there's major graphic problems. I can't even open up the menu to change it back to Software. Anyone know what I can do?

Hello! I had the same look, when ingame i changed the shadow detail from medium to low. Until i restarted the game. Have a look if you are playing with 16, or 32 bit. you shoulld maybe change to 32, and restart the game.

Hi to all

ilikehotdogsalot:

You can change this(i belive) in the grafic rules at simcty4 folder(in programs folders)

Nerd_Guy:

Low your grafics configs or change the render.

Good luck!

Well I've tried all of these already, and none of them work.  I know it's not my graphics card or anytihng like that because this problem just recently occured.  I started the game and it just happened.  It is already set on software, 32 bit, and everything is highest quality.
