Shadows and light beams moving with head

[CylonSurfer]

Just installed a new GFX card so I'm finally able to enable and enjoy the games shadows without stutter! However I have noticed that when outside a station that the shadows cast on to the stations exterior by a sun move (grow larger or smaller, or move left, right up or down) when I move my head left and right. Light beams from suns and other light sources seem to also move in this fashion, the steam from the landing pad / docking also move when I rotate my head to either side. Are these known bugs or is something screwed up in my config or the latest patch? I have everything on high other than shadows, which are set to medium and ambient occlusion is set to off.

Any ideas? Its really immersion breaking.

The smoke moving seems to be a bug, or perculiarity of the rendering engine - it's the same for solar flares.

The shadows moving can be prevented by setting the shadow detail to the highest setting, but that might have performance implications on your rig.

Yes tons of shadow and smoke issues with the headtracking in the current version.

my favourite is the big shadow of "my head" if the sun is behind the cockpit and I'm facing a station. I can move my head and see a a large shadow moving around the station in sync with the tracking... too funny. Hopefully one of the devs plays with the Rift and will get sick of the shadows too and fix them one day but there are so many other things we need/want/fixed first lol.

Cockpit smoke does stay in the cabin until the fuel scoop gets retracted then the code leaves it stationary!

Yeah, that huge shadow freaked me out the first time I saw it on an Orbis starport!

Thats exactly the problem I'm seeing. Well at least it's a know bug and not something just effecting me. Wow - the game looks so much better on the highest graphics settings, I'm also using DSR set at x2 in the Nvidia control panel, it looks nice. High shadows seemed to be the tipping point for me so I guess I'll leave them on medium and ignore the problem for the time being.

Cheers all.
