Is the any way to get accurate contact shadows with ray traced distance field shadows, i have am using a distance field resolution of 100 and the offset is set to 0.0 [55309-highresscreenshot00003.jpg] [55310-highresscreenshot00004.jpg] [55321-highresscreenshot00005.png]

Hi Elias, While I want to address the contact points for your original question, I first want to get the issue out of the way that you mention you cannot see Distance Field shadows being cast with your Directional light. I’ve seen a couple of users posting this, so I’ve made a simple sample project…

There are some big improvements coming in 4.9. Maybe trying using the 4.9 preview as a test and see if it improves your use case.

Sadly i am getting the same problem in 4.9 this needs a fix.

Darn I was hoping 4.9 would help ya. Thats beyond my area of expertise, maybe someone else here can give more suggestions. Good luck!

Thank you for your reply and here are my results. [55598-highresscreenshot00007.png] [55599-highresscreenshot00008.png] http://pastebin.com/vSM7y8ey

And here is comparison between distance field shadows resolution set to max 100, cascaded shadows maps and inset shadows. [55593-highresscreenshot00004.png] [55594-highresscreenshot00005.png] [55595-highresscreenshot00006.png]

Hi Elias, This actually looks to be a issue with Radeon GPUs from what I can see. I had one of the guys on our Support staff that has a Radeon 200 series card with the same driver as you give this sample project a test and the Directional wasn’t working for him as well. I’ve submitted UE-20358 and…

Thank you for you reply and thanks for the helps so far, i hope we can get a hotfix for radeon cards soon, when it comes to the accuracy of the ray traced shadows im very disappointed as when i first learned about ray traced shadows i thought finally perfect contacts shadows but i was fooled by the …
