• Unable to select high quality shadows
    2 replies, posted
Bought a new laptop, every thing works fine and it runs gmod no problem, except across all source engine games I've noticed I cant select high quality shadows and it detects the software version of DirectX to be 9 instead of 9.0c, and I have set the -dxlevel flag to show hardware at 11.1 as it should be Specs are as follows: OS: Windows 8 x64 CPU: i7-3630QM GPU: 660M RAM: 8GB Anyone know why it would be detecting the improper software DX version and how I would go about fixing this
Windows 8 is your problem. Wait and hopefully it will get fixed. I hope they don't stop support for windows xp anytime soon :s
looking around makes me think its something to do with nvidia optimus, and its a known problem that no one seems to be willing to fix, nvidia claims its valves problem, valve blames nvidia
