Were you using any beta driver of nVidia recently or in past times? Please check if you can disable / uninstall this "DisplayLink" driver. Try a reinstallation of a new and WHQL nVida driver, with a proper uninstaller that really removes everything from nVidia. What monitor exactly do you...

No I don't. I don't think that could cause this kind of problem, anyway, but thanks for the info.

I'd like to add a little bit more information to my issue. 1. I see this in the log created by maniaplanet_logs: [Sys] "NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580"(0x10DE,0x1080) with 5.2.21555.0 (dlumd32.dll) Implying that my driver version is 5.2.21555.0. TMUF also tells me that my driver version is 5.2.215...

Okay, thanks. I look forward to hearing back!

something has definitely changed, or you wouldn't have that issue. Probably there was a Windows update of the nVidia drivers or something else then. Could you please use the debug version (see my signature) and upload & link a logfile for us? Sure, here's the logfile http://pastebin.com/HJAbF6g...

I've done a full uninstall -> re-install of all my Maniaplanet titles, and the problem persists. I can make the game look correct by running on lower settings, but I still cannot compute shadows, and therefore cannot make playable maps. I'm using Nvidia Geforce GTX 580 card, and I have been for quit...

You can do it with the advanced configuration in the launcher dialog, then go to the "Peer to peer" tab, and there is the button "Clean the cache". Unfortunately, this didn't fix it. Any other ideas? EDIT: I've managed to fix the graphical issue by reducing "Shader Quality&...

Where is this cache folder located / how do I clean it? Or is this the same as "Verify Integrity of Game Cache" in Steam? (Which I already tried)

Interestingly enough, trying to compute shadows of any quality simply makes the game freeze for a few seconds before returning to the editor with no visible change. It never shows the computing shadows progress screen at all. Hmm.

I recently booted up TM2 again because it's been a while. In all environments in the day time, wherever there would be full sunlight, I instead get this weird shadow pattern ( http://i.imgur.com/LApcS7b.png ) . I've tried messing with graphics settings, and I can't get it to go away. I have also upd...
