Shadow problem...

im not sure if this has been posted yet *couldnt find it from search*

while rewatching the E3 presentation, i noticed there was a little problem with the shadows. when you get on the crane u see the large circle magnet shadow. when the magnet picked the trailer up, you could see the circle shadow overlapping hte trailer's rectagular shadow. maybe valve missed something when making the shadows for the game?

They are aware of it, and most likely will be fixed in the final game.

they're aware of it and it most likely won't be fixed until after the game is released, if at all.

"We're aware of it" is the best answer we've gotten. Personally, I think it's the biggest outstanding visual bug. Everything else we've seen that looks glitchy, I can live with (cept maybe lights showing through solid objects). The shadow double-dark effect really takes you out of the game's visual cohesiveness and art design.

Completely agreed. Although, if I could have the game now, and that'd be the only bug, I wouldn't give a crap lol

Apos, the lights showing throw the solid objects was a faked HDR effect, used as a placeholder for the E3 movies

No, lights showing through solid objects has nothing to do with HDR. HDR makes a light source appear brighter than what is normally allowed in games. There was no HDR in the videos and you can't fake proper HDR.

Watch the strider section in the E3 2004 videos. You will see what he means.

I wonder how easy of a problem that is to fix? Because I know that is a problem with Unreal Tournament 2K3 and 2K4. But I do hope they fix that, it is a really distraction.

You need to type key search terms directly into the search forums text box. Typing those terms inside your rich fantasy world won't actually return any results.
