Is Shader 3.0 ever going to get finished?

<p>Here's a picture from New Halas, large texture area's all appearing in black.</p><p><img src="http://www.mcsnetworks.com/eq2/halas1.jpg" /></p>

<p>Here's a picture of Bonemire, no ground textures...</p><p><img src="http://www.mcsnetworks.com/eq2/bonemire1.jpg" /></p>

<p>Yes, it will <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" /></p><p>We are aware of these particular areas missing Shader 3 models.  I've reported it and am awaiting more information from development with you.  If and when I receive it, I will make a post here.</p>

<p>Here's my system details:</p><p><img src="http://www.mcsnetworks.com/eq2/system1.jpg" /></p><p>FYI, using Shader 1.0 halas still has large area's of black.  Using Shader 1.0 in Bonemire, the ground textures appear as normal.</p>

<p>I can also say that the Video in that zone causes a crash.  I quit doing that zone got tired of crashing out each time.</p>

The pyramid in Darklight Woods (where the wisps are) is invisible with shader 3. I'd be surprised if nobody has /bug'd it though.
