[v.278] Characters' shadows disappearing near map edges

Featured Replies

[Description of the issue]

 

Characters' shadows disappearing near map edges

 

[DETAILED list of steps to reproduce the issue AND what to look for]

 

-Start a game;

-Run to the map edges with your party;

-Notice how shadows disappears while your party is near map edges;

-Notice how shadows reappears as soon as you walk in the opposite direction of the map edge.

 

[Expected behaviour]

 

Characters shadows should be always visible, even near map edges

 

[Other remarks / Comments]

 

It looks like this happens only when party is near East and West edge of the map.

To Admins: If you could improve image uploading I would be grateful! :)

 

Hello Metalloman,

 

Thank you for the feedback and the clear information. This bug appeared to be related to Save/Load as the shadows performed as expected until after loading a game and then they were not present on the East and West sides of the scene. I have added this issue to our database so it can be resolved and I will be updating the known issues thread as well.

 

Thank you for your support during the beta!  :thumbsup:

Good to know!

If I'll see anything else I will gladly report it. :D

I have some updated info for this. It appears to be relative to the camera position as well as the position on the map

 

 

It also seems to be dependent on display resolution. Higher resolution = bigger shadow-less area.
