To allow for players with low end devices to improve their framerate, I recently added an option to hide shadows at the options screen.
The implementation is just setting Lighting.GlobalShadows from on to off on the client side.
It works perfectly on PC and iPad, however on my Android device (Samsung Galaxy Note 3), setting GlobalShadows to false doesn’t do anything.
My game uses the ShadowMap lighting technology
Do you see shadows before toggling Global shadows off?
If you have graphics set to low, Roblox automatically removes shadows.

yes, i see the shadows before toggling global shadows off. The shadows still show after turning it off

This is true on ipad and pc, but similarly not true on the android device that I’m testing for. (Samsung Galaxy Note 3). I tried setting the graphics all the way to 1, and the shadows are still showing. I wonder how many low end devices have this issue
Thanks for the report! We’ll follow up when there’s any update on the issue.
