go to the fpsc folder, then look for setup. ini and set lightmappingquality to 25-50, remember, a higher value will make shadows nicer but will allso increase loading times

Your not logged in on a Admin account. You need to log out and log in as a Admin. If that fails, try booting into safemode and make a admin account.

To boot into safemode:

Turn the computer on

Wait for the BIOS screen to pass then immedaitly
hold down f8 or f10 cant remember which one, I think its f8

It will load up a menu

Use your arrow keys and choose safemode

Press enter

Then go into control panel
create a new user
Set it to Admin
Restart
An log into the new account

Or remove the writing protection on the fpsc folder, that way no program will need admin setting to edit it

even if the lightmappingquality is set to 50 you wont get shadows as crisp as that. In that pic there is something under the hood, most likely a mod.
