Has anyone here experienced this shadow glitch in F.E.A.R. under Windows 10?
Or something similar in another game after upgrading?
Someone else recorded this:
Yeah I have the same problem in FEAR. But that games has all kinds of issues.
Are you also using a nvidia card?

Yeah, a 680
Disabling AA and Soft Shadows didn't work.
Might just grab a copy of Win 7 and dual boot for games that don't work correctly in 10.
Damn. Oh well if you do find a fix list it there too. But for now you can drop a "Problem Unresolved" note on the wiki to warn others.
Win 10 is not the cause, it will be harder to fix than this I think.
This is due to the new Nvidia driver which is a shame, those kind of shadows are stencil shadows.
I do not know if other games such as Doom 3 using stencil shadows are affected, but people buying FEAR on steam will start arguing with this issue so hope Nvidia has enough big hears to fix what was working before.
Dont try to fix what is not broken !
Hi, just bought FEAR few days ago and I have the same problem, so I'm telling just to share the fact.
Nice to see I'm not the only one. Hope to see a fix, even if it's quite an old game. I also have it on Steam so it shouldn't be left without solving.
Nvidia has fixed this bug in the new 358.50 driver.
I think it's strange they didn't make more use of the water, It seemed more advanced than the DX10 water in Bioshock.
Have to dig out my CD's to confirm this.
