another problem with the pc port is the very short shadow distance, on ps2 the shadows go as far as the draw distance but on pc they fade out right in front of you. is it possible to fix this and maybe even increase the overall draw distance?

yeah I think the reason I see them Is because I have them saved on my hard drive and it's loading them from there instead of dropbox


UPDATE: nope. even after deleting the original files I can sill see it. don't know why no one else can

IMO Dropbox is not very suitable for images so i suggest to use an image hosting instead.

You should learn how to upload images properly before posting on a forum.

I was looking for a fix on this issue too.

What I noticed is that in Driv3r, the shadow distance is long but when you drive a boat the shadow distance is the same as the default DPL PC shadow distance which is too short. Maybe by reverse-engineering Driv3r the issue could be fixed. Or maybe by taking a look at the DPL PS2 Demo Code.

I tried using the Draw Distance mod and it just makes it worse since it only removes the fog making unloaded models more visible.

In meanwhile, if anyone manages to fix it please message me.
