Static shadows off, dynamic shadows on. Lights ppl up like a christmas tree

Since 1.3 this seems not to work anymore. Please take a look if you can set your Lightning to low and enable (either Low, Medium, High) Dynamic Shadows. If i switch them on, BF2 seems to disable them again.

Yes, yes i can

From what I've seen what you're getting has only happened on systems with Nvidia cards, my bros does the same as you he has a 6800GT, mine has all the settings it always had (ATi X800XT PE btw).

Merde - how our french friends would say. Yes i got a Nvidia 7900 GT, i would like to know if there is any way to enable them again. Let's create a topic in the help forum...

lolz i run every thing low and of eccept for the textures, res 1280 x 1024 for my tft monitor, and my 6200tc is barely runnin this lolz, but im going to buy an 7900gt in a few weeks/months .   that1 should show me what high settings look like

Shadows on, Textures and terrain high, everything else medium > res 2048 1536

If u want it pretty everything as high as possible

If u want to make seeing things easier, terrain low textures high, geo high, dyn lighting high, dyn shadows (anything but off) lighting low (if it'll let you with dynamic shadows) AA x whatever, anything over x2 is pretty superfluous.

BTW what is Geometry?

According to tweakguides.com
Geometry: The Geometry setting controls the Level of Detail (LOD) setting for various objects and landscape in the game. The options are Low, Medium and High and for most intents and purposes there is virtually no difference between the three levels. At higher levels certain objects will appear more detailed, such as rounder boulders and more curved landscape (i.e. more polygons visible). More importantly, at the higher levels vehicles will come into view sooner when far away, as more of their details are shown earlier. Obviously performance is better at the lowest level, but the extent of it depends on your system. For the reason that it may help you detect vehicles sooner, you may want to set this to Medium or High.


Oh, and I have a mid to low end pc with shadows ON.

I have all the graphics settings on high.
I have thought about changing the settings to tweak an extra few meters of range, or to see into the shadows, but in the end I just cant be bothered!
Maybe my game would improve if I did?

If you have all settings High, then tweaking them isn't going to make a difference to range. Turning shadows off will help you see into shadows.

Would your game improve? Depends what hardware you've got and how many more fps you're gonna get with shadows off...

Shadows off and dynamic light off - because all Buildings are Bright inside with these settings.

I have a low spec rig with shadows on, lol.

I find it no difference finding people with old GFX car (no shadows) and my new one (with shadows). The only difference is, when your trying to find someoen you can see there muzzle flash if there in the next room or around the corner for example.
