    Im having issues with Shadows disappearing as i get close to them!
    Sometimes it is working fine but others they vanish when within 10 or so meters!
    I have everything maxed except for motion blur and bloom and the other things not working for VR.
    I think this is a known issue that was supposed to be fixed in latest patches but last night even after patch it happened.
    I did notice when i had reflections low it was happening and i raised to high and it worked but then i was still optimising and dropping shadows and now even with all maxed settings it still happens but from lap to lap it seems to change!
    Am i going mad or is it still a problem for others?

    Reflection stutter at Medium is worse than shadows disappearing :(

    It’s happening less frequently to me, however, I’ve found no combo that works every time. Best to set the settings where you want. Then as you approach a shadow use the rear view button for a second - once this is done the shadows correct for the entire session. If you are lucky while in pit lane you get static shadows visible and can just use the look back button then. This does NOT work for car shadows.

    Regardless, it’s not fixed.

    I've found the shadows to work one lap and then not the next .
    Will also try the look back workaround and hope .

    You can cycle through your camera views, as a workaround. If you try a couple of times it will show properly.

    Yeah i think thats why it was sometimes working and others not, because i would occasionally hit the look back button and it would work again.
    Its a workaround so thats good enough atm.
