Planet Graphic

from GalCiv2 Forums
Newbie question here, but my planets are missing the shadows (from the stars) that all of the screenshots on this website have. Is this an option, or am I missing planet textures (which are enabled in my game)?

Adjust the background ambient light level in your game options menu under the video tab. less than 50% should give you shadows depending on your video card. Also the pan and tilt and zoom of your man mapalters the shadow definition

Ambient light is set at 25%. I have Intel 82865G Graphics Controller card, is it just not beefy enough to run the shadows?
