Its not HTCs fault your video card cannot support the shadows. Go get a better video card.

If the option is grayed out it merely means your GPU cannot support that feature, and even if it can that doesn't always mean it can keep pace. Not all GPUs are created equal.

Also, I really don't believe it's a matter of "HTC thinks". 

Or would you prefer that frame rate of 2?

If a video card tells the game it cannot support a feature, then what are we supposed to do?

Would you buy a Smart Car and expect it to keep up with a Ferrari?  When it didn't, would you take it back to Smart Car and demand they make it keep up with the Ferrari?

There is a reason why video cards come in such a wide variety of prices and configurations.  The feature sets are very different.

We cannot make a video card do something it is not designed to do.

No...you see Skuzzy...you must make his video card run the game at full settings. He doesn't care if you can't....you must. :)

Most likely he didn't know that his system limits his choices and not the game.
