Constant shadow issues on every single viewer, M4 Mac
Doll Pudding
Differing shadow issues on every viewer I have tried. Not even sure how to put into words everything going on. Pixelated shadows, shadows only sharp at certain angles, some shadows disappear at other angles. See videos attached for examples.
Viewers where you can fine-tune shadows (like firestorm) seem to have the same issue, sometimes more exaggerated by certain settings. There is no constant though, one issue could happen on a lower setting and also a higher setting- or not at all. It is incredibly random.
Also possibly related is a texture issue- seeing a seam between heads/bodies. I cannot see the seam on my PC, but I see it on my Mac. Other people on PCs and other versions of Mac chips cannot see it.
To recreate:
1.) Be on a Macbook Pro M4, current version Sequoia 15.4.1
2.) Simply cast shadows anywhere and move your camera

Thanks for your report, Doll Pudding!
This has been expected behaviour for some time now but there is definitely room for improving these shadows. This issue is now tracked here in GitHub to investigate this further: https://github.com/secondlife/viewer/issues/4258
