I have a scene on Android, and when I put a Stationary Directional Light and bake everything, the Dynamic shadow part seems to not be there I have dynamic shadow distance for stationary lights on 10000 for testing purposes.

In the rendering features page says it should be supported.

> **[Supported Rendering Features](https://docs.unrealengine.com/4.27/en-US/RenderingAndGraphics/SupportedRenderingFeatures/)**

- All objects in my scene are static. I just want the sharp shadow map closer to my camera
- I’m using the forward renderer
- I have mobile HDR disabled (maybe important?)

Also Full movable directional light with dynamic shadow maps seems to be working just fine.
