[Known]Shadows sometimes don't work in my house

Title: Shadows sometimes don't work in my house.
Reproduction Rate: ?
Blocker? No.
Details: Lighting inside my house sometimes will not cast shadows. Shadows are turned on and working as the sun and my light spell cast shadows. I reported this in QA but then it started working again, then is stopped working again. Now it's the same issue on the live server.
Steps to Reproduce:
User Specs:
OS: Linux 4.8 Ubuntu 16.10 64bit
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4720HQ CPU @ 2.60GHz (8) System RAM: 15969
GPU: GeForce GTX 970M/PCIe/SSE2 GPU RAM: 3072
SotA.EarlyAccess.Linux.64.541.Date.01.25.17
Area: PRT_island_metropolis_01/Parrot's Roost
Area Display Name: Parrot's Roost
Loc: (-367.7, 96.6, 280.4)

 

Please provide a specific test case for how to reproduce this in your home and what to look for. Perhaps screenshots as well?

Thank you.

 

Here's how it should look normally. Note shadows that the fireplace throws.




Here's what it looks like after playing for a while. It's not just the fireplace; when this occurs, none of the lights in my house will produce shadows. Also, I don't know what causes this.




Also, shadows will disappear for any light source even if I just move across the room (which I really dislike). However, they will normally return when I approach again. The shadows not returning when I get closer to the light source is new behavior in R38.
