Hi,
on my workstation and laptop the shadow appears in both cases. The question is how the Engine calculates the shadows and which directx function are used. Maybe your GPU can not use those functions or there is really a bug in the Engine.

Is it possible to check that?

This is not likely: stencil shadows do not depend on the PC. They work with all GPUs or DirectX versions likewise. Thus, I don't see a technical reason of the problem.

Hmm ... I installed a new DirectX driver, a new video card driver, reinstalled GS ... still the same problem.

The video card is a ATI Mobility Radeon X1400.

Any ideas what it could be ?!?

Hi,

I’m sorry I forgot to build the map without the lamp. So now I have the same problem with your map. With the “light” in the map I see the shadows and without the “light” I see no shadows.

Can anyone help?

Good to know that the problem doesn't occur just on my computer ...

I've uploaded a second test level ... in this level I expect to see a shadow thrown from the car, but I don't see a shadow.
The only light in this level is the light emitting "dummy light" entity.

Testlevel2

Maybe you're using an old version? I have levels without lightmaps and never found that a stencil shadows was missing.

I have just testet your testlevel and I see no shadow also, but when I outcomment all your settings with shadow_theshold and so on in your main function the shadow is there, maybe its something with your settings?

What do you mean with old Version? The Engine? Editor? Drivers? The Map?
I use Engine Version --> 7.77.4

I meant your engine version but 7.77.4 is the same that I have, only difference is that I also have the beta version.

I must correct myself, its not your shadow_threshold settings, the shadow is always there even when I comment them in again. Only thing I did was re-build your level.

So either your WMB was built from a different WMP than that one in your testlevel, or its something with your build settings. Maybe, you have disabled meshes or the like.

Hi Tobias,

could you make a screenshot from your build settings in post it here? I think I built with "default build"-settings.
