Hi there!

Recently I turned off PBR for the first time in quite a while, falling back to regular deferred rendering. I noticed that despite being set up for "All shadows", ALM no longer renders shadows from local lights for me. As it is right now, I can only get those with PBR enabled. Is this expected behaviour?

Regards,

It's a years-old bug I only noticed when I started backporting PBR... It does tell you how many times I have been using shadows...

I know it is years-old, because when I tried to find a release that did work, I could not find any (went back to 1.26.0, to no avail).

I resynced the shadows ALM code with LL's (at that time PBR was not yet released), but this did not change a thing, and I could not find the bug.

Given that I don't use shadows much and do not really care about local light shadows, that no one ever complained or even noticed (until now ), and that anyway ALM is doomed to be replaced with PBR in the end (e.g. when a Vulkan renderer will be implemented), I did not bother trying and chasing down this bug...
