No shadow to far away objects/units

EDIT: I mean "No shadows on far away objects/units"

I'm not sure what the problem is, but far away objects seem to not cast a shadow...

[1600x1200 shots]

In this screenshot, you can see the shadows being rendered on the closeup of soldiers, not so much on the attacking enemy.

Any idea what's wrong?

This is normal. It is done to prevent excessive strain on the gpu/cpu so they use a draw distance for the shadows so there is a cutoff distance. Increasing shadow detail in the menu will increase the distance they are displayed, but it won't render at an infinite distance for obvious reasons.

BTW first post w00t. Hi guys and girls!!!
