I hope windlight has been treating everyone better than it has me. I've already run into a number of issues. I would post this to JIRA, but I can't login to that for whatever reason. Even so, I think it may be helpful to write about it here.
I'm on Windows Vista 32-bit, using an ATI Radeon X1650 Pro. My drivers are the latest vista catalyst set. Last time they released Windlight, it crashed the moment vertex shaders were enabled. Now I can run windlight, but it's not all that great in certain ways. I've made a post with screenshots on my own web site. I'd appreciate any advice on the problems, if there is any possible solution to this respite, that is.
