Soft shadows partially working on M1

Hello, im having a problem in which when I use a movable light of any kind it doesn’t matter how much I increase the source radius the shadows remain sharp, when I switch it to stationary and build the lighting it becomes soft but of course that’s not always ideal, does anyone know a solution to this? thanks, im using M1 Mac by the way.

I am Having the same problem!

Did you manage that?


MacBook Pro
M1 8gb

Hello There. I have the same problem. Running Mac OS 13.1 Ventura on Apple Silicon M1 Max. If there is a solution to this problem it would be highly appreciated! Thanks everyone in advance!

I have the same problem. I can’t find the answer anywhere=(

Does anyone got an answer for this? I’m on 5.5 I have this problem :confused:

I’m gonna put it here for any future comers, I might have a solution to this. If you go to settings > platforms, in the Targeted RHI’s section you have to check the compatible renderer option to your mac version and restart. I’m Macbook M3 pro max and even though this is supposed to fix this shadow thing, it doesn’t do it well enough (softening of the shadows are limited(?), which I think is because of mac?) I’m not sure, maybe it’s my settings or just me but if it is an issue, I hope they fix it. Anyway, hope this helps who need it.
