Bit of a UE4 newbie here. The following steps result in unacceptably blocky shadows in 4.6 whereas in 4.5.1 they were smooth and beautiful IIRC: start new project from 3rd-person starter template in Project Settings / Rendering / Lighting, untick “Allow static lighting” checkbox in World Settings …

Hey metaleap, Try going in to your Engine Scalability Settings and be sure the shadows are set to the ‘Epic’ setting. Use the image posted as a reference for locating the menu. I say check here because I followed your steps and was only able to duplicate your results if my graphic quality settings…

(Not sure if bug) why are shadows blocky in 4.6 dynamic-lit-only?
