Larian Studios Forums Dragon Commander Dragon Commander - Beta Interceptor shadows bug

Everything is in the title, and in this screenshot :



Plus, the factions names aren't properly indicated in the players informations. I don't know wheter it's due to the yet-to-finish french translation or not.

Btw, as you can see on the minimap of this screenshot, my ally captured all the buildings. I didn't understand why, but even if I got my troops first there, the AI captured the building (the progression circle suddnely turned blue while I was already capturing). Maybe it's because he got more troops, or I moved mine?

Actually, I think those shadows are correct. You see, those units fly up really high, and seeing as the sun shines on them at this altitude, the shadows will be further away on the ground than for ground units. Check the Shaman shadow, that one's further away than the shaman itself, it's more to the left. Same goes for the high-altitude Imp Fighters/Interceptors.

The sun is just not positioned perpendicular to the map's surface; it's just not always noon in gaming, y'know.

I know, but then, given that they're not that high (at least they don't appear to me, aybe I got some problem with the game's perspective), I would expect them to be extremly stretched, while they look here perfectly flat as if the sun was indeed perpendicular. That's what first puzzled me. I'll try to have a better grasp on the perspective and altitude levels though.

You've got a point there. The shadows should be more stretched, like the Shaman is slightly stretched. These shadows are... indeed too flat. I must also agree that they should be slightly closer towards the actual units compared to the Shaman's shadow.

Another bug, and this time I'm (pretty) sure of this :



And, has anyone any idea on how to put the game back in english? It was (or at least partially) before some update, and I found no language selection in the options (speaking of which , the 'Gameplay' submenu is named 'Graphics' in the direction indicator on top of the window). Steam bores me setting all games in french without asking anything...

Though, you were right for the interceptors altitude : the shamans are more or less tree-high flying, the interceptors and zepps 5-6 times this. But something is still puzzling me with these shadows.

Head over to your Steam library, right-click Dragon Commander Beta, hit the "Language" tab and set your language to English. Should work now.

Thanks, that was it! Sorry, I'm a total Steam noob.
