Can you please post your cfg renderer settings? What cvars did you modify? Default cvars? etc.,etc.  
Just because I can’t reproduce your issue atm.  
Yes, a lot of things have changed, and yes, shadows are still ‘broken’, but all in all the renderer should still look nice. So don’t give up! Here are my settings:

seta r\_gamma “1”

BTW: Glad you are here again! Do you plan to do more cool stuff for ioquake3’s renderer2 again, or even for Spearmint?
