Re: [WON'T FIX] [FS19] Shadows glitching
I have different issue with the shadows. There is literally line through my whole screen when I am driving vehicle and going near shadows. This line goes like 2 m in front of tractor and redraws all the Shadows. None of the settings(I literally maxed everything) were able to get rid of it. So I guess it's intentional?
Probably only current solution is turning shadows off.

This says it all, but I'll still say it again; Who on earth are you trying to convince? This looks horrible and makes my eyes hurt. This is an atrocity and there is no excuses for it. If you can handle them, you really shouldn't have added them in the first place.

Re: [WON'T FIX] [FS19] Shadows glitching
I'm not sure but GIANTS is getting bigger with the franchise, but the bugs in the details with game start to be bigger and more worse therefore a more broken game. There lighting engine is just broken at this point and I feel insulted as a customer!
As simulator, what GIANTS needed to have right is at least the enviroment and the vehicles that you will be using. These are the key ingredients for the franchise.

The flickering shadows give me a headache in a very short time. I have to turn them off to play. Very disappointing that they don't even see this as a problem!

Re: [WON'T FIX] [FS19] Shadows glitching
Same here, raised this as a bug but didn’t realise this was already reported here. Looks awful and makes my head hurt with all the twitching and jolting with the shadows, also find I’m getting considerable eye strain with them behaving in this manner. Have had to turn them off, but now it looks really unrealistic almost like playing fs2013 again.

Bought the game but didn't play much because of this. Shadow quality off looks horrible. There is also a shadow like dome effect around the player at all times. Very annoying.

Re: [WON'T FIX] [FS19] Shadows glitching
I freely admit that the shadows dancing threw me off in the first thirty seconds, because I spotted it on the tall grass I was standing in. It *REALLY* bothered me....for about half an hour.
However, I can honestly say that after I dropped down to real-time (which I normally do except when I have nothing to do) and just played the game, I basically forgot about it and don’t notice it at all. And, after I thought about the mechanics of the dynamic shadows and moving sun/moon in conjunction with hardware and game engine limitations, it mostly makes sense to me why it is as it is in compressed time.
All that in mind, I think the other live shadow effects (some of which are really cool, like the sun casting a shadow of the cab interior through the windows and seeing the steer wheel move) more than make up for it. So, my suggestion (just a suggestion): try playing at 1x time for awhile; you may be surprised!

Re: [WON'T FIX] [FS19] Shadows glitching
So you are suggesting everyone should play the game in 1x forever to "solve" an issue with the engine? Yes, sure you can do that for some time, and yes, it makes it better (but still not proper "good"), but something that forces you to play on 1x when the game offers other speeds is obviously an ISSUE.
I can also understand this from a hardware point of view, but at least make the calculations fairly consistent so it doesn't flicker like that! I mean, the tractor has "hard" edges and doesn't sway in the wind, yet the calculations appears to throw "randomness" into the shadow at every update causing it to flicker!

Re: [KNOWN ISSUE] [FS19] Shadows glitching
That is a welcome revise of the last answer. It may seem that a lot of people are moaning about little things but this is certainly not a little thing.
Thanks Giants.
