UNREAL ENGINE 5.4 EXTREMELY BAD PERFORMANCE

I’ve fixed my performance issues with Virtual Shadow Maps. I’m using Lumen. Switching from UE 5.3.2 to 5.4 caused all my movable lights (and dynamic shadows: enabled) to dramatically reduce the performance.

Critical spot in my map with movable lights and enabled dynamic shadows:
Shadow Map Method: Shadow Maps → UE 5.4 30FPS / UE 5.3 70FPS
Shadow Map Method: Virtual Shadow Maps → UE 5.4 70FPS / UE 5.3 70FPS
