Hi all!

Just found this oddity:  
When switching to opengl2 the weapons that would cast a shadow on the ground in opengl1, now have a huge rotating square under it.

opengl1:

opengl2:

And it doesn’t apply to just weapon-shadows, also using the railgun has a similar effect.  
with rail in opengl2

I’m playing with cg\_shadow 1 or 3 which solves the square-issue (default = 2), but doesn’t give the cool projected shadows.

Is it just me? Did I goof something up?
