Rhino stopped showing shadows on the ground plane of my files. I had no problem with this up until now. I have the ground plane turned on, the shadows on, even in the display modes settings.
Also when i try to open a file which until this morning showed perfectly the shadows on the ground plane and the render worked just fine, now when i try to open it rhino just crashes. I also tried resetting it and nothing.
post your file and systeminfo? hard to help without it.
This is the the system info and also I uploaded just a random file with a box and you can see that even on renderd display mode it doesnt show shadows:

Hi Kaltra -
Why did you set the OpenGL level to 2.1?
The slider should be at “Max OpenGL Available”.
