No shadows (Integrated Intel HD Graphics 3000)

[Nyuu]

So, yeah, could my graphics card be the reason that I have no shadows. I have it on max settings. I'm using OpenGL as the renderer if that means anything.

OpenGL is what Blockland only and ever uses. Your problem here is that you have a laptop that uses integrated graphics. All laptops that have integrated graphics cannot use shaders.

Do you only see "Minimum" for the graphics?

Intel 3000 is a really bad GPU. it is unable to run a lot of modern games at all, so no wonder it cannot run shaders

[Nyuu]

I see more than just minimum, shaders are set to max. And people say it's really horrible, my grahpics card, but then how come I'm able to run just cause 2 at medium settings at 30-45 fps? By the way, here's a screenshot of my settings: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=205260853

even though you are able to select those options, they don't render in the game with such a bad GPU. at @ the just cause 2 part, i have a hard time believing you unless you are running it at a painfully low resolution

I have Intel HD Graphics 4000 and I can run most modern games at a medium-high setting. It's not that bad as you think.

[Franc]

Can you see shaders on the other settings?

Click ~ and see if you can see the console. Then you can snip it and show it to us.

[Nyuu]

sorry, but how do i copy/paste everything in the console, because there's a lot of stuff in it and I'm not entirely sure what I should show you.

Intel graphics are bad. If you plan to play more games in the future, invest into a desktop with nvidia graphics.

Also, about that thing I said about Just Cause 2; my resolution is something like 1280 x 720, and the settings are more medium-low than medium. But still the framerate hovers around 30 fps.

Nothing I haven't heard before and thought about myself. If you're going to reply, give help, not just say that "your computer is bad"

Please restart your Blockland, then join a server with your shaders on or something.

Go to the Blockland gameapp folder.

Then upload the text files called "console.txt" or something similar and "launcher.txt".

I don't know about launcher because this is the steam version.

that's the console text file

why does he need to do this?? its common sense in blockland that intel integrated cannot run shadows...

what "modern" games are you playing

Ok, yeah, I can't run shadows, but I know that I would be able to, if it would just let me turn them on. I did something like this in a source game, I had no shadows, so someone found a work-around, and now i can run them just fine even though everbody said i couldn't. this is no different.

there is no work-around in blockland. shadows simply fail to initialize if you have intel integrated. period. no possible work-arounds
