Getting wonky shadows

[Jaxxbauer 0]

Hello everyone,

 

I have had some major issues with SC4 lately but seem to have most resolved (had to reinstall, download all my plugins, etc)

 

Now that I have the game up and running, I'm getting bizarre, fuzzed shadows on everything.

 

Thought they might go away when roads are built over but they are just discoloured then.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Attached below are the images

Your pictures aren't properly linked, but it sounds like a graphics card problem.  You might also want to try switching between hardware/software rendering mode.

Either that, or it looks like your 'shadow' setting under the graphics options is set to 'low' or 'medium'. Try setting it to 'high' and see if that fixes it. You will take a performance hit, but you shadows will look sharp.

My apologies for that, first time using Imgur.

 

I'll give that a shot..

 

Cheers

In the GPU settings, turn off all 3D options and see what happens.  If things are different, turn them back on one at a time until you are happy with the result.  The GPUs we have today are far in advance of what was around in 2003.  SC4 doesn't usually like them at all.
