Hey,
I am used to this kind of stripe effect in UE4 when using dynamic lighting. It has to do with shadow maps, and you have to trade off shadow accuracy against these stripe artifacts.
Now I am wondering if there are any new lighting / shadowing methods implemented in UE5 which can prevent this from happening?
Thanks in advance

In 5.0 virtual shadowmaps mostly address this issue, but if you make your influence radius high enough, you’ll still get the same problem:
In 5.1 this appears to be almost completely alleviated:
