I had the same problem and found that even though I had shadows=2 in the config.ini file, when I started up the sim something was changing it back to shadows=1.

I changed it back to shadows=2 and made the config.ini file read-only. That fixed the issue and I now have perfect shadows.

cheers..

My conf.ini:

I have Nvidia 8800 GTS with 640MB and Forceware 169.21. Processor is DualCore 6600 @ 2.4 GHz

got the same issue with the rivers viewable over the horizon. not installed 4.09beta so could it be to do with the land geometry setting in conf.ini? core2duo @2.93Ghz, 2gig ram, 8800 gtx, will post conf.ini later, at work at the mo.

Roy,

Yes, hardware shaders are set to 1 and Im running OpenGL

The extending rivers doesn't actually happen on all winter maps. For example, on Murmansk this problem doesn't appear yet Moscow is definitely suffering from this.
