shadows either look really bad or are non-existent.
what the title says, not much else to say. i'll put a few photos if you can tell how to fix.

ah, if you read the faq you would know, but since you're here i'll tell you
Make sure your gmod settings shadow quality is set to high, if you cannot enable high shadows launch gmod with "-force_vendor_id 0x10DE -force_device_id 0x1180"

try set r_flashlightdepthres to 4096, and also make sure r_shadows is set to 1

Are you 100% sure this is set correctly?

try "-force_vendor_id 0x10DE -force_device_id 0x1180" as launch options anyways.
