That looks like a problem with Ambient Occlusion.

Interesting. Did you build your static lighting with preview settings or production settings?

I didn’t know render on preview setting or production has a connection with camera distance?
can you explain it for me?
im really grateful for the time you put for my problem.Thanks.

I’m not sure if it will. But preview shadows are calculated quicker and cheaper.
I’m pretty sure I saw an Unreal video talking about this problem, but I don’t remember what it was. But here’s some possibly useful info about AO.

If you post your question in bug reports, you might be able to get the attention of the devs.
