I think this will only work if you have been able to see wraiths before with a flashlight, and now cant.
In order to fix this and keep your game at high quality settings you must

Open Steam

Go into Library

Right Click Garry's Mod

GO into Properties

Click on Set Launch Options

Copy and Paste this into it

-autoconfig-xres=1920-yres=1080

Trust me it should work if you were able to see wraiths before.

Good Luck :thumbsup:

Since when does the resolution of your screen help with a graphical problem?

If you are not able to see the shadows of wraiths, it is because your Shadows option is set to low in the Video Tab in the Options menu.
Maybe the options you listed helped you out but that would not help out someone on a 15inch monitor running with 800x600 resolution.

The -autoconfig option just restores all your settings to default.

Meaning he must have did something like turn down his shadow detail to low, and just learned to fix it by restoring defaults ._.

No, before an Update (4 months ago) my Shadow Detail was High  after the update I couldn't see it anymore and all of my options were stuck on low or medium, and it did NOT let me go to High.
I remembered that autoconfig restores it, and always puts the Resolution to a certain number.
So instead of having to change it every time you open Gmod these Startup option will automatically change them for you

If your settings keep resetting, wouldn't this be a problem with steam cloud?
I have never got the problem where it resets my options unless I completely reinstall the game. But if I reinstall the game, steam cloud would take care of this as it keeps up with the configs for your games.


But I never thought about using -autoconfig or a launch option to begin with.

Oh man

Lua really helps on a clientsided bug due to in-game settings.

You sure helped a lot of people.

It's not like you had to read the thread or anything to know what he was talking about.

Let me put it in a way your babby brain could understand.

This thread wasn't talking about server-sided lua, that affects how the wraith shadows work.

This thread was talking about a clientsided bug caused by graphics settings that prevented dynamic shadows from ANY PLAYER to even show up on their computer.

Read the entire thread next time before saying something so stupid and try to act like you're some hotshot who knows the solution to everything.

The thing I gave you was to not draw shadows. Place it at the players crap and boom. No shadow for wraith.


Also, Quit assuming and bitching at everything I say.
