Hiya Kiri

I didn't change anything but the shadows to high - so the screen res is off - I sure hope this is a good sign!
One item of note when I reopened my game - I had a few peachy/orange artifacts (lines and blocky lines) in N'hood view on the roads especially. ???
Here's my config log:

Ah, well... there is that
So, ...do you know the difference between roast beef and pea soup?

Well, the trace says that everything is on, caustics isn't disabled, but it looks like that everything looking pretty good. And SimShadows is on. Isn't it strange that a trace can do that? I'm thinking that there is a variable that isn't initialised properly but the trace forces an initialisation.
Can you upload me a pic of your Hood view - that might be another thing.

Yes, but not until tomorrow. I already shut that machine down for the night. I also put my original files back in again... I wasn't sure about leaving the 'traced' ones in or not.
Note: as soon as the 'traced' files were put in, the black box was gone. In your instructions:
1. Put these cards in the config and CSConfig folder.
2. Open up your game and set your shadows to High.
3. Make sure the blocky shadow on the sim problem is happening. ------>>> They were already gone. I did as you said, shut down and restarted, and sent you the report. I probably should've mentioned this earlier, but I was 'celebrating'

The trace itself is completely benign - it doesn't set up anything so I'm happy for you to leave the traced version in.
I might get you to send me your graphic rules.sgr, the original one and see if there's more than a difference between the trace and so on.
The one I tend to use is the M&G Graphic Rules that was shipped with mine.
In your own time Catherine, I have no problem waiting for you, considering how patient you've been waiting for me.

And I have about 8gb of memory

I am sorry I did forget to add that. I am having a problem with not being able to change my resolution. I only have the choice of 800x600. I have edited the video card and the graphic rules files for my current ep. Also I have attached both the video card and the graphic rules files.

Ok, I think Kiri will be up soon, but you maybe able to use this setting in the SGR..option ScreenModeResolution
setting $Low
uintProp maxResWidth 1920
uintProp maxResHeight 1200
uintProp defaultResWidth 1920
uintProp defaultResHeight 1200
setting $Medium
uintProp maxResWidth 1920
uintProp maxResHeight 1200
uintProp defaultResWidth 1920
uintProp defaultResHeight 1200
setting $High
uintProp maxResWidth 1920
uintProp maxResHeight 1200
uintProp defaultResWidth 1920
uintProp defaultResHeight 1200
end
I added it to the attached file, download that and try it, or you will have to hope kiri arrives.
