Shadows missaligned/missing

[Kameradoktorn]

I don´t know if this is a new issue but I don´t remember it being this bad at least.

Since the past months or so I noticed that the shadows close to you and 15m ahead of you are completely wrong. Like, either the suns position is different in the various render passes and/or certain objects are in complete sunlight and then all of the sudden in complete shadow. Trees are the most prominent example, they flip flop all the time. It is very distracting.

Bump

Dynamic shadows are broken on trees and bushes.

As soon as you get close enough for them to switch from cascaded shadows to dynamic, they just disappear.
They only appear if you look at them at a certain angle.

Happens when shadows are set to high or very high - shadow resolution makes no difference.

Thanks for the video, was surprised no one replied as it´s really noticable. Also, it´s not only for bushes/trees, look at all the walls in your video, starting at 0:18, going from in shadow to completely shadowless.

And them tree shadows at 0:50, super distracting at the places that happen.

I play with all settings on max, but changing them seems to make no difference, something is clearly broken.

Yea what I meant by "Dynamic shadows are broken on trees and bushes." was that they don't cast shadows, the shadow on the wall was cast from a tree :P

I thought the shadows were only broken for me til I played with a friend once and he said the same thing. But I'm guessing not everyone has this issue since this is the only thread about it

Oh yeah, you´re right about the wall. I´ll try settings shadows to medium next time I play and see if it gets rid of the issue.

I think the most players set shadows to low for getting better fps so they dont notice it
My self have notice the same issues

Everything above medium shadows is not properly working - at least in the open.
