Default There is still an option...

There is still an option in order to have shadows and try to somehow minimize the FPS hit.

You can change the value in the conf.ini file in the "shadowmapsize" line.
You should do this first over you user documents folder conf.ini.
Of course this will be in detriment of the quality of the shadow itself.
1º) You have to activate shadows in the graphic options.
2º) You have to edit (remember to backup) the conf.ini file and search for the
line "shadowmapsize" within the [core] chapter.
3º) The line should be something like shadowmapsize = 5
4º) You can change the value as low as 3, also available 4.
5º) The quality of the shadows will be negatively affected but you should notice a performance improvement.
6º) Copy your edited conf.ini file from the user documents folder to the game folder in order to have identical conf.ini files in both locations.

You can do something similar with the grass, in this case the other way around, that is, turning off grass in the graphical options and manually changing the value from "Grass=-1" to "Grass=1".

One thing you have to understand is that these values are non standard values and every time you enter in the graphic option menu in the game it will be reset to standard values in the user documents folder conf.ini.
