In source games, like Half-Life 2 and Gmod, the shadows of some objects are glitchy and disconnected. I have an NVIDIA GPU if that’s related. I’ve tried looking up my problem, but nothing related shows up. Has anyone seen anything like this or know a possible fix?
If its not a common game problem then maybe include some system info.
Here’s the Steam system information thing

I got steam from pacman.
I have tried looking through protondb and using some of the arguments listed there such as -vulkan but I didn’t find anything that fixed it.
Running in proton seems to fix it, but I’d rather use the native version as it usually has better performance.
Already told you
Attempting with it spelled correctly, shadows are still messed up.
It seems to be the worst in gmod in ttt_rooftops_2016_v1. HL2 is a lot more manageable. But for gmod, proton has a way lower fps, so I don’t think I can do that unless I can find out how to get the proton fps up.
