I took a long break on Roblox Studios and came back after 3 months. Not sure if it is a bug, update or settings change, but when I came back to my game in Roblox Studios, the shadows seemed to look different.

I was certain I did not change anything when I go for 3 months break though, hopefully anyone here knows what happened during the past 3 months.

Here is a comparison on what it looked like 3 months ago, and now.

3 months ago:

I honestly prefer the shadows 3 months ago, however I don’t mind adapting to new changes if it has to happen. Maybe if there are recent updates that led to this change that I might not know of, or if it is a bug, any answers will be greatly appreciated!

Honestly the shadows have for more depth in them now, you can also mess around with shadows in lighting properties

This is a new lighting update to give games more realism.

This is due to the HBAO (Horizontal-based ambient conclusion) graphics which is now turned on by default whenever you put graphics 10 when you’re playing a game. You can get back the same result you’ve had 3 months back by turning the graphics to 9.

Shadows have become more detailed and possess more depth now.
i think the reason they’re weird for you is probably because you are playing on low graphic settings, GlobalShadows are turned off or the place is using Compatibility engine.
