And it's so simple it's pretty funny...Like pretty much everyone else shadows haven't worked for me in this game since it launched. But last night I was doing some tweaking and found a fix that works.....at least for me it works.I can't speak for everyone and say this will work for you but it worked for me on the following systemCore2 Duo e6750 conroe @ 2.6ghzBFG Geforce 9800 gx2Asus P5N-E 650i SLi motherboard2GB Kingston HyperX pc2 6400Sound Blaster X-fi xtreme gamerAntec Neo Power 650 watt PSUBut on to my point. I turned off ALL particle effects and managed to play the game for several hours without shadows disappearing. I went to both small zones and large, crowded and empty, from minor areas like the zones surrounding Freeport to heavily system taxing areas like Teren's Grasp and other Kunark zones and shadows never turned off for me once while I was playing. I seem to have gotten a nice FPS increase also, I gained about 15-20 FPS just from turning off particles.So if anyone else is sick of this problem, give this a try, maybe it'll work for you too.
