You may need a certain shadow setting, like the Nvidia shadow setting

I don't think there is something like that.

Yes there is.

Go to; Settings, Graphics, Shadows (Very high)
Then; Settings, Graphics, Soft Shadows (Nvidia PCSS)

Now see if it works

Very odd, I just wen't in game and tested it, I can move the slider, it appears grey until you move it, silly question I know but have you tried that?

If it still does not work after that, crank the entire game up to ultra and try. (MSAA can be on 2X)

If the answer is still no, I am kinda stumped, maybe you need a 4gb card to use it, like me.

Eh, I can select it with my 2GB 770; that is kind of odd. Drivers updated?

Guys I found the soloution. You need first to set your shadow quality to very high, THEN you can use extended shadows distance.
