    Flickering Shadows coming from all objects... :(

    Hello, I was wondering if anyone else while playing Settlers IV has the graphics issue where, any object that gives off a shadow, the shadows flicker and they are also little, black, pixel mesh instead of a nice, solid color. The configuration file only gives the option for using low or high texture quality and applying texture filtering, which doesn't change the shadow textures in the game. If anyone has encountered this issue and found a remedy, then thank you in advance for any solutions!

    Would you be able to share video footage of this happening, as well as let us know your system specs

    Hello, thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, video capturing software does not pick it up, which is weird. But, I did grab a screen shot of the mesh shadows. That I could capture. Unfortunately, these forums do not allow posting files from your computer, only from URLs, and I do not have this image stored on any online platform.

    As for system specs:

    1. CPU - AMD Ryzen 5 3600 3.6 GHz Processor
    2. Videocard - GeForce GTX 1660 (Latest Driver)
    3. Operating System - Windows 10 Home Eidtion - Retail (Latest Updates)

    Not sure what else you need to help out with system specs, and if you know of a way to post images via from my PC by using a URL (free, specifically) I'll upload it!

    I doubt this info will help, but thanks for the reply!

    Do you still experience this flickering after going through the steps found here?

    There are a number of free image hosting services online. Imgur, Photobucket, and IMGBB are just 3 of them

    Habe Grafikprobleme in Die Siedler 4 History Edition

    Ich habe das gleiche Problem, wie in dem gepinnten Thread. Wenn ich ein Spiel starte flackern alle Schatten und Texboxen. Ich würde ja gerne unterschiedliche Grafikeinstellungen testen aber die kann man ingame auch nicht ändern. In dem zustand ist das spiel auf jeden Fall nicht auszuhalten.

    Hat jemand das Problem mal gehabt und behoben?
    Danke für alle Hilfe
