Default Unofficial JC Shadow Fix Patch
Hi everyone...

Just Cause has nasty shadows on the 8??? Nvidia cards serie.
EIDOS never patched this issue... Why?

I have written a small Just Cause Shadow Fix to eliminate the ugly silly shadows.

Download: here.

1. Download
2. Unpack file into your Just Cause directory.
3. Execute the shadowfix file. (listen to the wonderful music)
4. Patch!
5. Play!

The original JustCause.exe is saved with a .bak extension... just in case.

I could only try with the german and polish version.
Please write if this work for you.

Hi,
I'm owner of PowerColor radeon 4870 and also have this problem.
I've downloaded your fix patch and used it, but the issue is still present.
Does it only works on nvidia 8xxx series?

(PLEASE can someone UPLOAD the FIX on MEDIAFIRE or another filesharing site (NOT rapidshare) please?)

UPDATE: I've downloaded the fix (don't ask me how...) and here's an alternative download link:

Brotkhol, the fix you have shown in the thread doesn't want to start on my PC. It says "Windows cannot access the specified path, drive or file. You may not have appropriate permissions to access the item."

BitDefender reports a trojan too. However, a quick Google shows this is commonplace for this patch program (diablo2oo2's) and sites like Softpedia mark it as safe. One place said it was because of the compression used. Although I haven't run it yet, as far as I can tell it really is just a patch. So...

Brotkohl, if you're still around, could you make a new patch without compression (or less/different)? Taking out any extra stuff like the music might help too. If that is possible I bet it would scan clean then.

Or you could tell us how to do the process ourselves?

Thanks

These ugly shadows are not only on Nvidia geforce 8 series!!!! I had nvidia 9 series (9800GT) and there were these annoying shadows! Now I have GTS 250 and WHATEVER I HAVE THESE SHADOWS! You guys need to make a patch which will fix this at all nvidia series! Because then I try to patch the game it says NOTHING PATCHED!

Yeah, I'm running a Steam version of the game with a GeForce 9400 and getting the weird crawling shadows like in the screenshot. But the patcher says-

Quote:
---START PATCHING---

[SEARCH & REPLACE PATCH]
loading file:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Just Cause\JustCause.exe
nothing patched!
...done!

---PATCHING DONE---
... and the bug is still present. Any other fixes for us broke folks who can't yet run JC2? :P
