Shadows Distance resets to Medium no matter what | Afterlife | Page 1

Game v1.0 (b336) and AL v0.2.6

I am assuming this is a bug as it does not happen in Vanilla? In the Video Settings, under Quality, the setting Shadows Distance cannot be set below Medium. The pop hint does specify that it Cannot be disabled in Afterlife, but if you set it to Low, then save, it will change back to Medium at minimum when you leave the screen. Same for changing it inside or outside of gameplay (main menu or in a game). I am guessing this is supposed to change back to Low if it is set to Off, to keep it from being disabled?

I discovered this due to playing with settings trying to stabilize 60 fps (just one piece of the puzzle). The shadow interplay seems to really hit this hard. I have no idea if I will even use Low, but I cannot test it if I cannot get the setting to stick. Not a big deal exactly, but something I noticed and did not see in here yet.

Aye I’ve noticed it keeps going back to medium.

That's a feature, not a bug.

#

I believe it cannot be adjusted

It makes sense, but shouldn't the note say it cannot be disabled or set below Medium then?

supple roost It makes sense, but shouldn't the note say it cannot be disabled or set below Me...

It says on the setting if you hover over it

#

I think it could be worded better and say "cannot be changed at all" but it just says "cannot be disabled"

Perfect, that answers my question on it then as well with that clarification. Thank you.
