Apparently the game tells me that Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 trinity 24GB GDDR6X, 384 bit.
Is not recognized and even if I get into the game and set everything on Ultra, the shadows are screwed and the foliage is constantly flickering.
Please update your game Croteam !

Auto detect does not detect the GPU (4090 Suprim X) and shadows are completely broken in DirectX and Vulkan, in Vulkan there is some shading on foliage only but with serious graphics artifacts

Small dev team, hopefully they do get around to it, really takes away the fun of this game!

I kinda found a way to fix that.
Just disable steam cloud and delete the config, enter the game and first set your resolution followed by presets, and select each 3 categories to ultra or high. Apply and you should have HQ shadows just do not touch DX or Vulkan.

I tryed that, but it doesnt work, i dont have any shadows in the whole game...

Try setting everything on low, restart and then set them on ultra.
You have to be persistent, I kinda did low and Ultra until it magically worked.
If that still does not work try Siberian Mayhem's config file and copy it to Sam 4.

Sweet. BTW where are the config files ? I could not find it at all.

Have the same issue with Gygabyte 4080.

Same here, MSI RTX 4090 Suprim X Liquid.

Funny tho, Serious Sam Siberian Mayhem works like a charm, and its the same engine.

It seems like it's launch correctly here now -- have you tried starting up a game (or loading a previous save), then creating a new save, exiting and restarting?

I did a complete wipe of all config and disabled steam cloud in order to get a default setting.
Still does the same the message still shows up.
The good part is if you just set everything on Ultra or High game will work with no more low rez shadows or flickering vegetation textures.

Probably a dumb question, but might you have both CPU integrated graphics and your 4090 active, or just the 4090? I saw one possible solution where you could go into Nvidia Control Panel and specifiy "High-performance NVIDIA processor" under specific programs (e.g. the game executables). I only have the 4090 active at the moment, so I don't see this option in my Nvidia Control Panel.

I disabled CPU integrated graphics. If it was that it would melt my PC since I hit everything on Ultra and was running 4k with no stutter at all.
The problem is the game was not tested with modern hardware. Makes sense since its by a indie game.

Agree, I had been having this same issue since I got my 3080Ti. Just strange that it went away for me with the 4090 but didn't for you.

No one should put automatic detection for settings in a game unless they plan to really test it out thoroughly, or especially if they abandon patching/supporting it before new generations of hardware arrive. Shortsighted judgement on Croteam's part. But you'd think it would be a relatively easy fix if someone could just get their attention.

Yeah the auto detect is not recognizing the video card, not that its any problem since I customize my graphics. At any rate, its just a minor inconvenience but I managed to get past it.
As for support, I reckon Croteam will be hiring Timelock to update 4 and probably Fusion in the future as they are busy with Talos 2.
I do not blame them, they are a small dev team and can't handle to many things.
