No shadows
Nothing had shadows even with every light they dont spawn any shadows, the light just goes right through every prop and every npc and everything. Even when i go to properties the shadows is checked!

Settings -> Video -> Advanced... -> Shadow detail
Needs to be set to High. If the option for High doesn't show up, then your video card doesn't support it.

In half life 2 there are shadows for the flashlight on my computer. On gmod there is none. Also on half life there is a high setting for the shadow quality and on gmod there isn't so I doubt it is a problem with my video card. I have a GTX 970

I'm intrigued as to how I can play Portal 2 with shadow detail set to Very High with no issues, but that High shadow detail in HL2 isn't even option.

Personally, I think HL2 should just warn if you don't have the required hardware and not disable it, as the software might be wrong about what is and isn't supported.

I have the same problem. Graphics card - normal ( Supports all max settings) RAM - 4 GB. Just a week ago all was displayed normally. A few days went into the game, make a scenebuild, and notice what disappeared all dynamic shadows. Checked settings - all on high. I thought that all because of the "Life mod", I tried to turn it off - did not help.. Was looking on the Internet everywhere the same, and nothing helps. Please help comrades!
I think.. I hope you can help me..

..but it still works:
Go to any Source game's Launch Options. (For me, Black Mesa and Garry's Mod) (Right Click > Properties > Set Launch Options)
Copy and paste this in the Command Line: -force_vendor_id 0x10DE -force_device_id 0x1180

after i used that command line its much worser. the flashlight is now really weak and the light mod is useless. since it doesnt light the area now anymore.

I found that all shadows disappear if you go from an area of bright light to an area of low light within the map. Loading a save fixes it.
