The shadows do not look smooth and nice anymore

New shadows

Old shadows

Please fix

"Not nice "? That's a joke, the shadows are ugly as hell now. ^^

Make a shadow calculation, no matter what mood, and then have a look at the shadows in the editor. The contrast in TM² has always been way too hard, but before the MP3 update yesterday it was still wonderful to recognize structures where now only a black hole exists, which is illuminated by the light blocks barely, only the headlights of the car illuminate it a bit. At first I was shocked because I thought it had something to do with my modified pack, but it does not matter, built with Canyon-standard it looks the same. And it's not just me, some others have also tested it, same result, otherwise I would have believed my graphiccard or whatever spins at once. Even with day mood almost no structures can be seen in the shadows. For me it is already more than a bug, that's utter nonsense.

same screenshot, made today after the MP3-update:



I have taken so much trouble to solve the lighting problems in my pack, then comes something like this very frustrating stuff.

the shadow thing was always bullshit. It's Trackmania not hide and seek. That wasn't a problem till they did remove the option to remove the shadows

Yeah I cannot see a damn thing in a lot of tracks any more.

This is not frustrating but absolute shit, what is a available here after the last update !
You should be ashamed of such a thing as an update to a press on the nose.
I hope it will be fixed very fast, faster than you can eat frog legs !

So I finally made my first map and when I calculate its completely useless
There goes my weekend
