Can you maybe show a picture or give a bit more detail on which objects aren't rendering, they should all show shadows.

hmm, what type of track is it?

Are the objects on the perimeter? D2 only renders object shadows that are on the top left (0,0) tile of the perimeter because the perimeter tex is copied to all perimeter tiles you would get shadows showing up on the other tiles where there is no object.

The only other thing i can think of is maybe it is an object with no backside polys and the sun is shining through the reverse side of the object and doesn't cast a shadow because there are no poly's facing it to cast shadows. But then both fences wouldn't cast shadows. Sounds like i need to look into it, can you link me to the objects?

Have you got a link to the objects, and maybe you could PM a link or email the ENV so i can try it out myself.
