Big problem with RT shadows (video attached)

[DementiaGaming]

Raytracing Shadows are popping like crazy. It's quite annoying to see this massive popping running around forests. I must add that this is specially noticeable with a lot of vegetation and big trees. I'm guessin it must be somewhat related to the shadow's LOD but shouldn't this be happening much further away from Geralt through a smoother transition? It looks really weird, it kills the immersion.

Everyone has that with RT shadows, apprently CDPR thought this was good enough or they have exactly 0 people in the QR department.

Do like the rest of us and play with regular non RT shadows.

Try this MOD,

You can also add the following parameters to the dx12user.settings file

RTSTConfigUpdateDistance = 80.000000

Before anyone try that mod, have a look at comparison screens of it and the regular RT. Imo if you butcher the RT as much as that mod does you might as well just turn it off.
