why are you climbing into version 1.6.1 as a manager of version 1.4.0 - it lost its relevance and performance even in the early patches of the game - modders found a simple, more reliable and 100% workable way to add mods to the game - as for the settings, then you need to use the game config in the old fashioned way - the developers have
patched up the game great and the need for advanced settings has disappeared .

, but on the contrary, it’s impossible to open a notepad at the beginning, then open a file, or simply drag it with the mouse to the notepad window field

should not be set here, but below - here you are shown an example of options, I wrote above that the site is full of configs, download and see what people wrote there, I'm sure that there is a value that disables shadows, but I don't know what - I never had the need to reduce the quality settings, on the contrary, I increased the quality above the base one, as in Dead Island - for example, max was
ShadowMapSize (2048)
SpotShadowMapSize (2048)
and I forced
ShadowMapSize (4096)
SpotShadowMapSize (4096)
because on higher settings on AMD, the game worked more stable than on low and medium
ones, try writing it like this
Shadows(Low)
ShadowMapSize(128)
SpotShadowMapSize(128)
and be sure to set the file attribute to read-only otherwise the game will overwrite it

Downloaded the configs, not one helps, the shadows still remain (I downloaded different configs for both medium and super weak PCs)
I tried to do as you advised, but the shadows still remain :(
Maybe in version 1.6.1 you can’t remove them at all? 0_o

Garimastah,
I also looked through a few configs - you can’t turn off the shadows completely. game of 2015 and not 2005 but you can make minimal

Then you have to switch back to 1.4.0.0, otherwise it lags with shadows :(
