Shader Model 3.0 What Happened

[zinner62]

<p>I log in today and  notice that  Shader nodel 3.0 is now off by default  so  likeing what I have seen  I happly ck the little box and restart the game  and   WOW  things are NOT looking very good  in fact  very bad . had another tester turn  there 3.0 on and the  same thing. <makes a sad face> I am getting  things without any texture  and the contrast is  also way off.  whites are blown out  and everything is looking very flat. I went into a 2 room house and there was odd shadows in there and I do not have the shadows turned on.</p>

<p>Same here.  That, and it cut my frame rates WAY down - just about in half.  I have a core i7 overclocked to 4 GHz, 6 Gb ram, and a Radeon 4850 X2 (2 GB total vram), so I should be able to handle anything just fine.</p>
