I see it very well in VR, I have the files modified like this: https://github.com/evaristorivi/-Steam-steamapps-common-assettocorsa-system-cfg

If in VR you see one eye darker than the other with some custom shader path settings, check that the shadow resolution has a value other than off or -1. a good value is 32x32. (or in Documents\Assetto Corsa\cfg\video.ini
SHADOW_MAP_SIZE=32)

in VR, shadows tend to flicker and aren't easy on the eyes. sadly we can't disable them completely.

this simple tool replaces one byte in the acs.exe binary to disable the shadowMapPass function of the rendering pipeline. resulting in no more shadows, yay. very enjoyable in VR.

instructions:
* supported acs.exe (64bit only) versions: 1.14 to 1.16.4
* unzip and place in the same directory as acs.exe
* run acs_disable_shadows_patcher.exe to disable shadows
* run again to enable them again

contentmanager:
contentmanager added support to disable shadows using my method. if you already use this awesome launcher, be sure to check out that new setting in video options!

antivirus & windows defender:
this tool needs to rewrite part of the acs.exe which sadly makes it look like a virus to some antivirus programs. this is why i also upload the source code of any version. its not a virus but an awesome little tool to get rid of shadows and improve FPS. if you don't trust me, you could use the source code to compile and verify the tool yourself and run it then.

Why do they keep updating the game ?? They are not adding a thing

I think they are adding textures for some cars like Ferrari.
Very good work! Assetto Corsa should have the option to change shadows by default, but they dont. With this mod you can control it! Very nice!
thanks always for updating this thing that does the job that KUNOS is too fn lazy to do... put a simple switch
where is the option to disable shadows in CM? thanks for this
evaristorivi

I don't know. I use CM too but with this patch enabled.
Hey man, is there a way to apply this patch on the x86.exe? I have an issue that my game only works with the 'force 32 bit' ticked at the moment.
I loved this patch so much! But let me ask a *potentially* dumb question: When I use this patch, All the world is much more darker. Like, a permanent and enormous cloud is blocking the sun and leads to cover everywhere with that cloud's shadow (There's no cloud in the sky, that was just an explanation of the complete shadowy sight I see). I'm not sure if I could describe what is happening. Is this normal, does this patch remove shadows in that way? Is this supposed to do?
