CVar extShadowQuality

This cvar was replaced by CVar_shadowMode.

This setting controls the Dynamic Shadows in-game.

Currently, shadows don't work fully in OpenGL. Using a d3d -> OpenGL interface will result in incorrect transparency within models. Using a shadow setting higher than "4" may result into a blank screen in raw OpenGL mode.

• 0

• 0 :Off. This leaves the 'blob' type shadow only. If off, shadowLOD is activated.
• 1 :On for characters (Players, NPCs, mounts, etc) only.
• 2 :On for Environment & characters, low-res, med-distance.
• 3 :On for Environment & characters, low-res, large distance.
• 4 :On for Environment & characters, high-res, large distance.
• 5 :On for everything, shadows overlap, high-res, large distance.

In-game, type the following /console extShadowQuality setting

Alternatively, you can exit wow, open the Config.wtf file, and add the following line: SET extShadowQuality setting

Or you can change the setting via the in-game Video Options.
