Players in Elite Dangerous have reported a graphical issue where square-shaped shadows persistently appear while flying. The number of these shadows changes with the Directional Shadow Quality setting, decreasing at lower settings but never fully disappearing. On ultra settings, up to three such shadows can be seen, including a faint one in the distance. This visual anomaly affects immersion and may require developer investigation. Community feedback is being sought to determine how widespread the problem is and whether submitting a support ticket to Frontier Developments is necessary.

  • Issue varies with Directional Shadow Quality setting.
  • Up to three square shadows visible on ultra settings.
