I’ve searched and searched the internet, and the game files, I haven’t found anything.
I am VERy sure the games stuttering and FPS problems would be solved with Lowering shadow detail or removal thereof.
Has ANYONE found a way to do this, or even found a config for them?

I wouldn’t say it would be solved, but it would help. I’m also looking for a way to do this. 
It would help more so than any ‘fix’ thus far. I’ve been looking through all the files and I haven’t seen anything on shadows.
It really shouldn’t be so hidden.
Doesn’t setting the graphic quality to low solve it?
If you disable death particles “Apply Dead Parts” in options, it greatly reduces the stuttering that can happen when killing enemies.
Particle animation is a pretty difficult thing to optimize and relies greatly on base optimization of the game engine you are working with.
Just another thing you can do to reduce potential FPS drops. Shadow detail might actually be the biggest slowdown in crowded areas. Although Spambots spamming messages creates massive stuttering and it boggles my mind why IMC hasn’t added a delay with how fast you can send a message.
No the options in game don’t Solve Any FPS issues. Infact Turning on Bloom and such doesn’t lower my FPS at all. The only Increase in performance comes from Lower resolution.
Also I’m not looking for another work around to fps issues. Just specifically shadows. Shadows are and have always been the bane of lower end PC’s.
In most if not all games turning off or lowering shadow quality is a huge performance gain.
Plus personally the character shadows are an eyesore. Black Circles? Really?
