Hi Nicole - OK, yes, thanks, I see it in this view - well, your video support is on that great here - I am not sure if the 4000 is expected to work for shadows but you could try boosting the memory available to shadows in the options.

Hello All, I am actually having problems with the shadows also in rendering mode. I have done all the things you have suggested but its still not working. I would truly appreciate if anyone could help me as Im desperated. Thanks a lot!!
Any suggestions???11189840 487 KB121189840 481 KB141189840 489 KB131189840 490 KB151189840 536 KB

How can I check this?? The problem is that when I render it the shadows
show up, but in rendered mode they dont that is what I dont understand.
Also its a bit weird because sometimes they show up when I play with the
Camera based Clipping Buble but only in a fixed view,and in certain
objects, if I move the view a bit then the shadows dissapear.

Uh hey, I run Windows 10 on my PC and I installed Shadow Defender...if you don't know Shadow Defender, it basically freezes a system drive to a certain configuration and reverts it back to that configuration whenever you restart or shutdown your PC.

Thing is, I turned off Shadow Defender when installing Valorant, and then whenever I try to launch Valorant, it says that Vanguard needs to reboot my PC. I did this a couple of times already and it's getting quite tedious.

same situation, im running a internet cafe and many customers use that computer so freezing the system is a must. Vanguard doesnt load up during startup even if i exclude the folders associated with Vanguard/Valorant.

Same thing happening with me, I own a gaming center and Im running shadow defender to protect my computers.. I've tried everything, I installed the game in a partition thats its not in shadow mode, I put every possible folder that Valorant and Vangaurd use in C parition in the white list so the shadow defender dont protect and lock them but still the same.. it keeps asking to reboot every 2 boots that the PC does.

The traditional program copy or xcopy failed with different binary resulted. Also tried robocopy without parameter, and resulted a failure. Just did another attempt with robocopy using /zb parameter (restart and backup mode). It took much longer but resulted in a success.

My question is, is backup mode really designed to copy large / backup file? Have searched through net and couldn't find a clear answer. Would appreciate if any experienced user could give me a hint or better solution.

Normally when trying to copy or access a file, Windows performs a check to make sure you have permission to read or write to location, but with SeBackupPrivilege (granted to the Backup Operators and Administrators groups by default), and SeRestorePrivilege (also granted to the Backup Operators and Administrators groups by default), these checks are bypassed.

This user right determines which users can bypass file and directory, registry, and other persistent object permissions for the purposes of backing up the system. This user right is effective only when an application attempts access through the NTFS backup application programming interface (API) through a backup tool such as NTBACKUP.EXE. Otherwise, standard file and directory permissions apply.

This security setting determines which users can bypass file, directory, registry, and other persistent object permissions when they restore backed up files and directories, and it determines which users can set valid security principals as the owner of an object.

So my theory on this would be probably about the stability connection between servers. If the connection is not robust (with occasionally drop out causing an access issue), when copying large file like my case, a corruption likely occurs any time during the long process; robocopy with restart and backup can recover the copy pretty well. Time spent on recovery is probably the down side.

I would strongly suggest that you create a snapshot and backup the now quiesced file system. You can then run robocopy quickly using /J (unbuffered I/O for large files). Here is a script for creating a shadow copy of C: which it calls P:. This drive (P:) is a static image of the C: drive perfect for backups. We use this technique to copy active virtual machine disk images to a backup drive.

Note that Windows Server 2016 (and possibly other versions) runs a shadow copy twice daily during the week which will cause the shadow copy created below to crash. Make sure this backup technique doesn't overlap with these automated scheduled shadow commands.

I start using the OS as normal. I open windows, edit text, open terminals, etc. After a while I close them and open some others. However, if I look carefully at the panel, I can still recognize windows which I have closed. One good example is the login screen. At the moment I use GDM, when I lock the screen I can still recognize a dim shadow of open windows! Or when I watch a movie in full screen mode, I can still see a faint version of currently open or previously closed programs.

In my day job, I work daily with LCDs attached to various embedded computer and subject them to thermal extremes, solar loading, and other environmental extremes. It is possible to get an LCD to exhibit persistence and burn in, but it isn't easy. Modern LCDs attached to modern, mass produced computers don't generally have these problems.

Occam's Razor would lead me to believe it to be a software problem, probably having to do with a compositor. Do you see this with other operating systems? Try turning of any compositors. I get the impression you are using Gnome. Try a desktop environment that does not try to control everything -- like Openbox or twm -- and see if the problem *er* persists What video chipset(s) does that system use and which drivers are you using?

How to Ask Questions the Smart Way

All game shadows are flickering. The farther away or the lower the shadow quality the worse they get. I have tried multiple drivers, reinstalled Exiles three times, formatted and reinstalled windows and the flicker remains.
I play on a private pvp server. I disconnected from it and went to singleplayer and got no flicker so then I tried an official server and got no flicker. Then I disabled all mods on the private server, connected, and the shadows were flickering. I disconnected, started singleplayer and the shadows were flickering. I rejoined an official server and there too the shadows were flickering. So other than one instance in both singleplayer and online official servers I have constant shadow flicker.

The method may be called on an element that already has a declarative shadow root, provided the specified mode mode matches the existing mode. In this case the ShadowRoot that was already present will be cleared and returned. This allows for cases where, for example, server-side rendering has already declaratively created a shadow root, and then client-side code attempts to attach the root again.

A boolean that specifies whether the shadow root is clonable: when set to true, the shadow host cloned with Node.cloneNode() or Document.importNode() will include shadow root in the copy. Its default value is false.

A boolean that, when set to true, specifies behavior that mitigates custom element issues around focusability. When a non-focusable part of the shadow DOM is clicked, the first focusable part is given focus, and the shadow host is given any available :focus styling. Its default value is false.

A boolean that, when set to true, indicates that the shadow root is serializable. If set, the shadow root may be serialized by calling the Element.getHTML() or ShadowRoot.getHTML() methods with the options.serializableShadowRoots parameter set true. Its default value is false.

Elements are automatically assigned to elements within this shadow root. Any descendants of the host with a slot attribute which matches the name attribute of a within this shadow root will be assigned to that slot. Any top-level children of the host with no slot attribute will be assigned to a with no name attribute (the "default slot") if one is present.

The following example is taken from our word-count-web-component demo (see it live also). You can see that we use attachShadow() in the middle of the code to create a shadow root, which we then attach our custom element's contents to.
