Read the details below ( as in press the freaking "SHOW MORE" button and actually read it):


***The shadows are not missing on Unity 5, they are enabled and present for both versions but they are a LOT more filtered on U5 (soft-shadows) while on Unity 4 the shadows are hard-shadows (see example here: http://oi48.tinypic.com/mki2h2.jpg ).***


Yes, the video has a high contrast and looking very dark. The game itself (especially the U5 version) has a high contrast to begin with and my recording software increased it even more. Nevermind that, watch the FPS counter.


Even after the engine upgrade my system still struggles at maximum settings, so I'm using these:
Visual Quality = medium
Resolution = 1920x1080
AA = medium
SSAO = low
Noise/Grain = on
Blur Motion = no
DOF = on
Shadow Distance = 12m (yes, shadows are enabled and present for both versions but they are a lot more diffuse on U5)
Bloom = off
Lens Flares = hell no
