As you can see from the video, the shadows on the second player disappear when they are no longer in view of the main player. I’ve tried adjusting the bounds of the character but that only works to a point and will eventually revert to the same issue when the main player is far enough away. This is just the default 3rd person template with CreatePlayer called.
Hi OpticalShadows,
Thank you for reporting this. This appears to be a regression as it was not happening in 4.7, but is now broken in 4.8 and our latest internal build. I’ve entered a ticket for this to be investigated by one of our engineers with UE-17239.
I’ll update here once there is a fix. While not a workaround you can use movable lighting and this issue will no longer be an issue. This was only affecting Stationary lights that I could see in my testing.
Thank you!
Tim
This has recently been fixed in our internal build of 4.9. This should be fixed when 4.9 releases.
Thank you!

Is still in Version 4.11.2
