Very huge difference in shadow settings (FPS-wise too)

    Hi guys,

    I don't know if anyone has picked up on it yet, but I just "discovered" that the shadow setting to "medium" messes up my FPS big time and makes the game a bit "nervous".
    With nervous I mean that you see on other cars for instance, the light changing al the time and not in a nice way.....looks more like artifacts on some parts of the cars. Even in your own car, I tested with F2 on Mills, I got out of the cockpit and used the "above cam"......looking at the car then makes me wanna cry; dark things that should be shadows, are hovering al over the car! When standing still......doesn't look good at all!

    Also, it costs me about 20 to 30(!!) fps, the shadows low or medium!!
    Low makes it nicer for the eyes, not so much "flickering" of things and also more fps.

    Maybe you should try it once?

    You are right.
    This is the biggest graphic issue: shadows are really a fps killer on my ATI 6970.
    i have to set on low, because on medium i loss 15-20 frames...
    I have not found any solution for now.
    I hope it will be fixed in next build.
