Oh-Hi!
I was wondering if anyone can make a mod to remove shadows in the game?
I ask this because I don't think zombies are my problem; whenever I minimise out of DR2 and then maximise back in, all my lag is gone... for a short while that is... I was thinking maybe someone could help me?
Best regards, Adejam.

When you maximize, as the game is faster for a while, are the shadows gone too? No, but I assume removing shadows would help in the long run, rather than trying to find something about this mysterious minimise fix  |

You guys just need to upgrade your PC's. There's no magic cure when it comes to messing with the core graphics engine of the game... You can't alter the graphics past what the in-game menu lets you. It's a console port!

It's a console port! I have no money? It's easy for some... Plus, there is a magic way of anti-lagging myself with this minimise trick, so it's not my card... |

There's a lot of PC games that can be modded to great extent, you listed two. Oblivion was ported to console, not vise versa like DR2. I'm familiar with Oblivion mods as I played with a lot of them, and as you mentioned someone redoing Oblivion textures, that's probably very possible in DR2 as people are already reskinning clothes and whatnot. But it's a VERY daunting and time-consuming task. DR2 hasn't been out very long, a month at best, and being a DIRECT CONSOLE PORT means modders have little to work with. You know, a modder is just a person like you. Maybe you guys can come up with a "Remove Shadows" modification yourselves? If it's so easy to do... If not I suggest waiting for it to happen naturally, in the years to come of this great game being released  |

Gamebooster huh? Interesting. I should try that on a few games, see if it even works.
About the topic, and shadows
I believe it is possible to COMPLETELY disable Shadows in-game, by editing the stages .CSV files and turning all the shadows to 0.
Usually disabling shadows in a game will greatly increase FPS, but I suppose it also depends on the game's graphical engine.
