Hi everyone,


I’m experiencing a major graphical issue where the high-quality lighting and dynamic shadows are completely missing in-game, despite having all my graphics settings set to Ultra/Maximum.


As you can see in the attached screenshots, the environment looks very flat. I checked the Render Stats overlay, and it shows:

Shadow Maps: 0

Shadowed Lights: 0

Unshadowed Lights: 66


It seems like the engine is refusing to render any shadow maps at all. I have already tried to reset my settings and restart the game, but the problem persists.


Has anyone encountered this before? Is there a specific console command or a launch option that might be forcing shadows off?


Thanks for your help!
 

My Specs:

GPU: RTX 5070

CPU: R7 5700X

OS: Windows 11
