Android project, RT shadows not working in editor anymore.
For some reason, realtime shadows with directional light doesnt work anymore i tried everything from quality settings to reinstall unity. I have a apk. file with a test scene with it running great a month ago. but i upgraded my pc from 32 to 64 bit. and a new cpu, motherboard and memory.
It works on pc platform but as soon i change to android platform shadows is no more.
Unity 4.5.0f6 Win7 64bit Home premium AMD FX4130 ATI HD5870 4gb ram 1600mhz
Test android device: Samsung S3 mini.
Thanks for any help.
I don't think Android supports real time shadows. At least I think that's what I've read.
$$anonymous$$aybe this is relevant?

Unity -> Edit -> Graphics Emulation -> "no emulation"
Works for me.

In Player Settings go to Settings for PC,Mac and Linux and in Other Settings uncheck Use Direct3D 11, you will get shadows for Android.
That fixed the editor, but when I create the apk, still does not show shadows. the weirdest part is that the same app casted shadows in the same phones, but after changing a small script the shadows dissapeared...

I installed unity 4.5.1 and its the same.
I saw something diferent on the titlebar, its shows DX11 on DX9 i wonder why it is saying that as i am making android games, not windows.
I installed unity 4.3.4f1 and it works.
Does it not state "Android" in the title bar? You may need to switch platform.
I believe when it says that it's referring to the state in which the Editor is running. You can Force DX9 and OpenGL mode.

I also had a problem and was enough for me to copy and replace the files from ProjectSettings from another project, like the demo project 2d Platforms
