gri, it's shadowmapping with PCSS and PSSM. the framerate is set to 70fps by code, look in the shadowdemo.c file!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AND IT IS A BETA VERSION!!!!!! BETA MEANS: NOT FINISHED AND SLOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OK?

@Quadraxas: on my vista system it also doesn't work, where did you exactly put the wait(1); ?

@zSteam: the next version, supports ps_2_0 and ps_2_a and b!

Oh...I never said its to slow.
As I read the posts here and saw that no one has more than 70 FPS, I had already the Suspicion that you locked the frames_max to 70, without checking the Code.

No reason for so many Exclamation Marks. I'm on your Side!

,greetings gri

@Chris3D:
material.c line 33 as first line of FXLoad_startup() before effect_loads.

Works great with my Vista.

It's the same with my system I see the demo just fine, but without any shadows, but it's not because of shader version 3, as I have a HD4850.

Does it work for other ati users? May be it's an issue of ati...

yep same problem here, can't see any shadows. I'm running an older ATI HD2600 which can still support shader model 3, even 4 i believe.

yeah executable works but we re talking about the code.

Oh, the code isn't working with me.

ok thanks, but why won't SM3.0 on ati work?

I've updated my DX and am still having a blue screen.

Hmmm... I didn't found any new drivers for my card.
