Never noticed this before, but I’m having a _really_ wierd issue with PIE instances in my MP game. Shadows seem to be shared / duplicated depending on the active game instance. Can’t figure out why! Video below: [![](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/5/2/e/52e3eacc6e7a260fa58ffe6c6cea6a9f8fdea577.jpeg "UE4 Answerhub - Shared Shadows in PIE") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yXRu4xP0xg) This may be related to UE-32539, which seems to have since been resolved. When I get around to porting to 4.14, I’ll update this. ---

Hey TheJamsh, Here’s a link to that issue on the public tracker: [Unreal Engine Issues and Bug Tracker (UE-32539)](https://issues.unrealengine.com/issue/UE-32539) Let me know if upgrading fixes the issue for you, as that does sound like the same thing that you’re experiencing in your project and what I saw in the video as well. Have a great day
