Shadows on my Jaeger-DD are bugged in first person, but appear fine in third person. This has been happening for a few patches now, but I kept forgetting to report it.

Graphics - Ultra.
Happens in both DX options.

Thanks for bug reporting this. I too, had always been meaning to get around to it, but haven't so far.
Confirmed that these weird shadows appear with my Firebrand and JM6-S as well.

It is a bug for a lot of mechs... if not all of them.!

Looks like you're right. Just check in with my Stalker and the same thing happened. Guess I just noticed on the Jaeger because most of the other mechs don't have a shadow at all

I was also some time going to report it too, but i've always forgot to.

This is an issue indeed that is a bit irritating, and does sort of ruin the immersion.
It might stay forever at least on this mech as a joke i think as they look similar to poptarts (heheh, get it?)

You're seeing the edges of the cockpit.

On a side note, NO mech has a shadow in first person now.
Very beginning of this vid.

I am noticing this bug as well. On a side note, I will buy $100 worth of MC for every month MWO is bug free.

I think your money is safe . I spend just as much (if not more) time reporting bugs than actually playing the game. I still love it but some of these bugs go back to Open Beta. So many small, niggly bugs that just add up to a worse user experience

Alright, so I've just performed a couple match drops to confirm this problem. There are indeed weird things going on with shadows cast from your 'Mech in 1PV (but not in Testing Grounds - only in proper matches).

So we're going to fix this. No ETA just yet. I'll keep everyone updated as information becomes available.

Does your QA team only test in testing grounds? That would explain why some bugs would have been overseen by them in the past that the community did find quite quickly. It's a serious question btw.

This, many mechs have that issue. Yet since its not a game breakign bug, the fix priority may not be that high.

Sounds good. I don't consider this sort of thing a huge issue, I just thought it should be reported.
