What graphics card do you have? I've honestly never seen that before, even on forums and old Intel onboard graphics.

I have an ATI. Any ATI can do this. Back in the day, in competition, and before they removed the "Full" function in versions subsequent to 2.5, teams would make it a prerequisite to have these types of shadows in order to even be considered a serious invite-level player. This was a pretty common thing, and since we're back in this version, I think it's only right that we disable the "Full" function, because Blob is good enough for people who want shadows. Shadows make you lag anyway. pfff

No, I've fixed the sound issue long ago. That's not what I'm referring to. If you need that Win 7/64bit fix, let me know.

Shadows are nice but even with full shadows, you can see players through walls. Maybe it is best to disable it. I've only ever had Nvidia and Intel GPU's but I know Killaman has an AMD GPU and I don't remember him mentioning this issue. Is yours an actual ATI card? That would indicate that it's older and perhaps it has issues with UE-based games?

HD Raedon 4670 1GB DDR3. Some older Nvidia can get these shadows, too. But ANY ATI card can get these shadows. Alternate Pixel Center**

this is an old issue. first came with ati cards, later also with nvidia. driver-dependent.
in later versions devs made a server-side option to disable it.

Do you have the latest drivers? I'm not trying to discount your issue, just wondering what's going on. We've definitely talked about removing shadows before.

I have the latest drivers. This doesn't have anything to do with drivers, though. Trust me; we need to disable the ability for folks to choose "Full" shadow detail. I don't get these shadows by default. You have to change your video card settings to use "Alternate Pixel Center," although some report that it simply comes glitched out like that by default. I enabled Alternate Pixel Center just to show you that the problem exists.

Yep A good old tweak that many used until they turned them off. I do agree they should be blob or none, as you can see it really is a big issue.

If i remember doesn't this also give you something along the lines of the power strip back in the day? I remember ATI/nvidia cards with certain drivers had the power strip feature, and it would leave a 2 pixel edge on the side of your screen so when you got flashed you could still see.

Powerstrip is a 3rd party utility I believe. Never heard of this though.

Powerstrip was for old CRT monitors, don't think it works well with modern flatscreens

Good point. Moreover, that pixel alternate setting has been removed from recent
catalyst editions.
