Shadows draw distance in this game is pathetic

Seriously wtf is that draw distance? Like three meters on max settings?? I have seen games 10-15 years old which have better draw distance for dynamic shadows then this.

And there is nothing you can do about it, because the setting which affects this draw distance e_ShadowsCastViewDistRatioLights is apparently capped at 0.15 on max settings, and the game cant handle more.

If you raise this value to something like 0.75 to get decent dynamic shadows draw distance, you get extreme shadows flickering everywhere, cause the engine cant handle it (shown in the second part of the video)

Seriously Warhorse wtf? Your game is amazing, but this is completely pathetic and embarassing for a 2025 game to have freakin shadows just appear into existence two meters in front of the player lol. Such a immersion and visuals killer.

Ya'll spend a lot of time looking for evidence of why you should hate a game. Instead of, you know, just moving on with your life.

What is your point here? We accepted this as the way things would be back picking flowers in Skalitz.

I hear veilguard has great graphical fidelity. Maybe you prefer games that the only thing they can claim is good are the graphics? Everything else about a game seems unimportant to a artist such as yourself.

What you saying is complete bs. It has nothing to do with finding reasons to hate the game and I dont know why are you bringing Trashguard into this.

Stuff like this just pisses me off very much, since its an omission/bad implementation of a completely basic visual feature all modern game has, and its ridiculous that its so badly implemented in KCD2 given the fact how beautifull the game looks otherwise. But then there you have such a bs immersion and visual killer as this and its just extremely frustrating. If you going for such a high tear realistic graphics, then do it 100% and dont leave stuff like this broken.

Good qualities of the game should be praised, bad should be criticised and pointed out. This is just how it is with basically every product in the world.
