Low quality shadows; higher shadow quality makes them worse

Hello, engineer!

Thank you for writing to us, and we apologize that you're experiencing this issue.

Could you please confirm if your device has an AMD CPU/GPU? If so, we are already aware of this issue and have reported it internally here.

If this is not the case, we kindly ask you to try the following steps, which may help resolve your issue:

Verify your game files on Steam

• Right-click on Space Engineers in Steam Library → Properties → Installed Files → Verify Integrity of Game Files

Delete SpaceEngineers.cfg file

• It means your game configuration will be deleted
• You can access your SpaceEngineers.cfg by typing %appdata% into your Windows search bar and you will be redirected to the hidden Roaming folder. After that just follow: \Roaming\SpaceEngineers.

Delete ShaderCache folder

• Same access as SpaceEngineers.cfg

• Back up your whole Space Engineers Roaming folder and delete it
• Restart Steam
• Reinstall VC Redist 2017
• Update graphic drivers
• Reinstall the game
• Make sure your operating system is fully updated

Once completed, please relaunch the game via Steam to see if the issue has been resolved.

If the issue persists, kindly send us the log from when the issue occurred.

• You can access your log files by typing %appdata% into your Windows search bar and you will be redirected to the hidden Roaming folder. After that just follow: \Roaming\SpaceEngineers.

Kind regards,
