Description
I got the above image using MF v2.10 on crucible v3.1 map. On my springsettings.cfg I have "ShadowMapSize = 4096" which should be pretty good (it is if i zoom out)
The mapinfo.lua has
sunDir = {-0.3, 1.0, -0.5},
As the camera zooms in a user would expect to get a progressively sharper and more detailed image of objects, but the shadows get much worse instead.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue with MF v2.10 on the crucible v3.1 map using ShadowMapSize = 4096 in springsettings.cfg and the sunDir from mapinfo.lua. Compare shadow quality while zooming in and out, then trace the shadow-rendering path to identify why detail degrades with zoom; done means shadows remain appropriately detailed as the camera zooms in.
