Character shadows visible on low settings
By method
Shadow advantage positions/angles are everywhere in CS2, especially on Nuke, Ancient and Vertigo.
To see these shadows, you have to set 'global shadow quality' to HIGH or VERY HIGH.

How to
If you get too little FPS when playing on HIGH, you can enable them in 'Steam\userdata\ID\730\local\cfg\cs2_video.txt'.

1.) In-game video settings: Set Global Shadow Quality to LOW

2.) Close the game

3.) Change these values:

"setting.csm_max_shadow_dist_override" "560"
"setting.lb_enable_shadow_casting" "1"

4.) Make the file read only

I don't think this works anymore, since it was ~ 1 year ago and valve gave bunch of new updates. There is no option ""setting.csm_max_shadow_dist_override" "560"
"setting.lb_enable_shadow_casting" "1"" in video settings anymore :/
