Hey guys!

So I just transferred my game to a new rig, and Intel dv7t Quad Edition, and when I started up STO after re-downloading it through amazon, all the shadows are now a bright vibrant red intead of, well, shadowy. Help?

    I have the same problem with my mobile ati radeon hd 6450 M card. The problem goes away when I use the integrated card. Did you every find a fix for this problem. I am running the latest drivers from Dell. Thanks in advance.

    I noticed today that my laptop is having the same red shadow issue. Before I was able to run the game at 80-85% graphic quaility. This is very frustrating. I really don't feel like playing on my home pc all the time. Even after reinstalling and driver updates, nothing resolved this issue. Is it true that this game is more graphically demanding, after the newest season update?:mad:

    I figured it out. Disable postprocessing, and the red shadowing will disapear. :cool:

    DocNocternal,

    Thanks for the info. I'll give it a shot on my laptop tonight and let you know the outcome. Fingers crossed. Take care.

    Turning off post processing worked for getting rid of the red shadows. Now, just waiting for an official fix. Thanks all for the info.

    The odd thing is the post-processing issue only occurs in the live build not in tribble, anyone notice other problems with shadows moving?

    You mean flickering when you move? And shadows on planets moving wildly when you move the view around your ship? Yeah I've noticed this :(

    As of the new patch, I believe the red shadows issue may be fixed. Anyone who had postprocessing disabled to work around this should try turning it back on. I'd be interested in seeing if anyone is still experiencing the issue.

    I'm still getting the flickering shadows when moving in space. It goes away when I switch shadows to "low".
