Packs should work fine, but smoother features itself - probably not.

bSun0000 сan you make shadow disabler plsss

I can try, but never did it before.. don't know how it will work.

3.5_NoShadows.rar

PS: Custom shaders is unsafe, you may get banned just for removing shadows from the game.

[Phoenix13]

Can you still see the area where you take dmg with the delve lightning? (With the Removal for the shadows from a dynamic light sources)

Yes, lights & darkness will be drawn as before, this shader will only remove dynamic shadows from the dynamic light sources.
Visual difference is barely noticeable (after a short period of time, you will get used to it), but performance gain (especially in groups or with CoC builds) can be heavy.

bSun0000
not work (((

[bSun0000]

bSun0000
now work (((

?
With one of my files is not working? Any details?
You are getting black textures with noshadows shader? This is fine. Relative.. i can't do anything about it, this is how this game engine works.
Wait some time, textures will redraw.

Or you are crashing right after the start?
