Xbox Series X Extreme Shadow Pop In - Munchen Route

Hi,

Ive been getting some extreme pop in with the shadows on early mornings on the Munchen route, especially driving the ICE. I think this needs looking at, as although we know there is a shadow loading issue present, to me this feels far more extreme on this line.

I have a video here, check out the last 20 seconds. Xbox Series X should be able to handle this but it looks like the shadows cant load in time as the train speeds up.

 

You'll get this on every route. Was a thing since tsw2020. Playing it zoomed in all the way seems to make it better but it'll still pop in. One of the reasons Matt (exec. Producer) gave on shadow draw distances are soo short is that extending it further has performance impacts. It has to draw out shadows on everything. There's something called distance field shadows or something that was added in tsw2 that shows baked shadows down the track which doesn't have a performance impact but if you have any moving shadows, it'll still pop in
