I am ..and I know why ..just haven't got around to fixing it yet ..

You probably have an NVidia card (I understand this is specific to old NVidia drivers .. old being older then the ones that come with the demo) ..

Install the drivers that came with the demo .. they are brand new, and from what I am reading, they fix the shadow problem ( I will know for sure tomorrow ..going to install the new ones then).

I have the same problem so I turned the shadows off. I'm installing new drivers now to see if it works.

BTW I saw today that nVidia has a 512mb video card out.

Interestingly enough... I have an nVidia card and am also seeing the shadows listed in the first print screen. I checked my drivers from nVidia BEFORE installing the game and according to the driver date, I DO have the latest video drivers, as well as the latest DirectX 9.0c.
So During installation I opted NOT to use the nVidia drivers on the cd and I get shadows. I'll be going back tonight and installing the drivers on the CD to see if that actually works.

I had the same problem. Drivers that came with the demo solved it.

OK, ran the drivers that came with the demo for nVidia cards and now there are no more shadows!
Guess you just can't rely on nVidia''s website for most up to date drivers...hmmmm...

Free-to-play based on teamplay and tactics.
