Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity - Original Sin - General Shadow Quality

I've noticed that in game the shadow quality fades drastically about 10 or so feet from your character. Does anyone else have this issue? My PC is more than powerful enough to run the game at ultra, so it seems strange there's such a jarring issue with shadows at such a low distance, it's really distracting.

Someone on the steam discussions said this issue was introduced a few patches ago, possibly as an optimization. Will there eventually be an option to disable the shadow quality fading?

I've noticed that in the twitch stream this issue seems to be nonexistent... I hope there's a way to fix it by launch

Nope, not fixed, still uber annoying. Shame that such a poor rendering technique was used when so much of the rest of the games visual rendering is spectacular.
