    Title: Shadows improve when the Distance is lowered?
    Reproduction Rate: 100%
    Blocker? No
    Details: There is a circle around the camera where shadows go from crisp to blurred. At Maximum "Shadow Distance," this was really easy to see and very close to the character. When I dropped the Distance, the circle got further away... meaning crisp shadows could be seen for a longer distance before becoming blurred. Returning to Maximum... everything is blurred now? The High setting looks crisper than Very High. I did not receive a notification about restarting if that is necessary. Right now "High" has the best looking shadows out of the other options.
    Steps to Reproduce: Log in with Maximum "Shadow Distance", 3rd person camera with character centered on screen, find a shadow of leaves from a tree on the ground, zoom in and out and move the camera to see the shadow-blur "edge", switch Shadow Distance settings and watch the changes.
