FIXED: I Cannot See the New Shadows

[RMS Gigantic]

Hello, I am having a problem with the new update: I cannot see the flagship feature of V21! All of the lighting looks just as it would have in previous versions of Blockland. I have been to a few servers and no one has yet been able to help me, so let me clarify on a few things:

• Before anyone says, "You need to turn them on, idiot!", I have set the shaders to high and hit "done" as well as "apply" without any shadows appearing. I have also tried setting it to minimum, low, and medium.
• Before anyone says "Your computer/graphics card isn't strong enough, idiot!", I am running Windows 7 with an NVidia GeForce GT 550M for a graphics card, with an Intel i7 processor backing it up on a gaming laptop.
• Before anyone says, "You downloaded Blockland for the wrong operating system, dimwit!", I updated to V21 from V20, and V20 gave me no problems.

So, with all of that out of the way, can anyone help me?

I also do not think that I can see the new shaders, either.

This is a common problem with the new update. have you tried looking in the help section for suggestions relating to your problem?

Intel users aren't the only people who don't see them even when they are enabled. As of now I don't think anybody knows what is causing the problem.

This would be better if you posted it in the Shadows and Shaders Bugs topic.

Hopefully this gets fixed soon.

Posted my DxDiag to the topic you linked.

After changing the circled option in the NVidia control panel to my NVidia card, not only do I see the new shaders and shadows, but my game runs a lot faster as well!

first of all, you have to have a second GPU to be able to change it
and that is also clearly an Nvidia control panel, meaning you must have an Nvidia GPU to even get there
