This is because shadows haven't been implemented yet in the OpenGL renderer 🙂

@aragubas Please don't bump issues without contributing significant new information. Use the 👍 reaction button on the first post instead.

Since Godot 4.0 is in release candidate stage, this will only be implemented in a future 4.x release.

Bumping to 4.2 as I need to do more performance analysis to ensure that the current implementation is indeed optimal from a performance perspective. :( I just ran out of time for 4.1

Any news about performance improvements?

Any news about performance improvements?

OpenGL shadows have been merged in 4.2, following this comment which addresses performance issues that were in the initial (unmerged) implementation.

Great! ;)
