[Build 453] Problems with graphic settings (shadow distance)

Title: [Build 453] Problems with graphic settings (shadow distance)
Reproduction Rate:
Blocker?
Details:

1. With my graphic settings set to AUTO the "Shadow Distance" slider disappears, and in the middle of the day with the brightness slider pushed all the way to the right I can't even tell whether the cotton right in front of me is harvestable or not (it is). See screenshot.
2. If I change the setting to Fast, Beautiful or Fantastic, I can select different shadow distances, but there is no difference between Low shadow distance and Maximum shadow difference (or any setting in between). I have to turn shadow distance to None in order to see well enough to play.

Steps to Reproduce:
User Specs:
OS: Windows 10 (10.0.0) 64bit
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz (8) System RAM: 16324
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB GPU RAM: 6084
SotA.EarlyAccess.Win.64.453.Date.02.10.17
Area: Novia_R9_Hills01_SerpentsSpineMinesEntrance
Area Display Name: Serpent's Spine Foothills
Loc: (145.5, 53.7, 62.5)

Screenshot showing how harvestable status not recognizable with Auto setting.

 

Is the issue you're referring to how dark the shadow is on the bush that makes it difficult to observe its state? If so, we have an existing ticket present to address the high contrast and strong shadows being observed.

Thanks!

 

Yes, issue #1 was that the shadows make certain things impossible to see correctly.

Issue #2 listed above was different.

 

What video setting are you playing on?
