I’m having the same problem. It’s kind of annoying, there should be an easy to access variable for this stuff.
Anyone has any idea on how to fix this?
The console variables from the above mentioned link do not work.
Dynamic shadows are one of the huge performance killers for modern games, so it makes sense the editor is setup to keep the settings better for performance by default.
Contact shadows can add in small object shadows, but I’ve never been happy with the results.
There’s a bunch of settings that fix small shadow distance, but they also have trade offs, settings like number of cascades, shadow bias, far shadow distance. The ideal settings are going to vary a lot depending on the project or scene.
