This is a problem that has affected a lot of ATI 9600/9800 users (including me :? ), and as far as I know, there is no solution for it, aside from setting shadow quality to zero (removing them completely).
'Hopefully this will be addressed in the full game, or in a future patch.

It could also simply be a bug in the game that EA has not yet ironed out in the demo... We'll have to see if anything changes when the full version comes out.

I got the same problem, and also turned down the shadows to zip!

I hope EA fixes it, but then again BAttlefield2 had the same problem, and as far as I know it is not fixed.

@Stig, I have those same ugly pixel shadows in BF2, it looks terrible. Maybe turning Texture filter up might help.

I kinda have that problem too and I'm running an X800XL. I'm going to try and install new drivers this weekend and hopefully that'll help.

Same problem here using a Radeon X850XT. Game looks great otherwise, but those shadows are really terrible. And to you guys saying "it's fixed by turning off shadows", no that's not a fix. A fix would involve making the shadows look like they're supposed to.
