    • Outdoor shadows now move smoothly without jumping on the screen on ultra graphics settings and at different Live Mode speeds.

    Fixed in Patch 1.109.185/1.98

Hi everyone. Don't know if anyone else is still having this issue, but I was finally able to fix it in my game and thought I should share. I took the solution from the other thread which was to go into the GraphicsRules file and change the NumberCascadesLevel for the very high setting from 3 to 1. In game the shadows were moving very smoothly, but the quality of the shadows was very poor. So I used the game options to change back my lighting setting to very high (changing the file switched it to medium in game) and I restarted my game. To my surprise the shadows still moved smoothly at very high quality. I checked the GraphicsRule file and the NumberCascadesLevel was still 1. Hopefully this works for someone else.

@girliesamm Didn't work for me I'm afriad. Switching the NumberCascadesLevels to 1 did fix the shadow movement but it never switched my lighting quality to Medium in the settings. It stayed at Very High so closing and restarting the game didn't do anything meaning I was left with nice shadows with a really low draw distance.

        @MidnightVoid Better to use the ConfigOverride folder in your doc folder. You can copy your adjusted file in there and don't need to worry about them being overridden.

        Not 100% sure if that's a solution on console ?
