One way to find out it seems to me - boot up your game in stock settings and see what the shadows do. You've tried that already, right?

Since V13's problem has started suddenly, I suspect that his shadow glich was caused by some wrong setting. Unfortunately he has overwritten so many of the stock files with modded ones, that it would hard for him deciding which files were corrupted.

V13, you are reinstalling the game, don't you?

I will soon, I am just making backups of my personal mods.

EDIT: I would like to add before I re install, does sinking a ship in for example, coastal waters, keep it sunk on other missions? like in the next mission Happy times?
Or does sinking a ship actually remove it at all?

I've heard others say that if you sink say the HMS Hood in Total Germany, it is gone forever. There appears to be a major issue with the Carriers during Mare Nostrom if you sunk them in earlier campaigns.

Speaking of shadows, I was having the same issue off and on. Sometimes the near shadows were good other times they were bad. This game has all the symptoms of being rushed. From what I know about other games the source code seems to be very inefficient when it comes to draw calls and rendering. I have anti-aliasing all the way up and I'm still getting artifacts on near objects.

I can tweak the SH5 dynamic shadows settings to show accurate shadows closer to the player, the problem is that then ALL the far away shadows completely disappear/vanish

Wish my shadows looked that good, but having them at range matters too.

Yes, I think the units of a given class can be set in campaign as 'unique', so that when they are destroyed (by the player or during an AI-AI battle) they won't respawn again.

I think that, even though they all have been destroyed, ships of a given class can be forced in campaign if an objective or mission requires them

Awesome work on those shadows, tonschk. Pity for the far away glitch...
