Modulate shadows only work with Mobile HDR!?

I noticed modulate shadowing is only working when mobile HDR is enabled in the editor settings. Is there any reason for this? Mobile HDR is still buggy on some devices so for consistency I would like this to be turned off for now, but I would also like to have the shadows.

Will this be supported in the future?

I’d like to know this too. Does anyone have an explanation? Thanks.

This is not stated anywhere in the documentation that I could find. Is it possible to use modulated shadows in LDR? If someone from Epic could clarify this, that would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: Additionally, modulated shadows show correctly in LDR in ES2 Preview Rendering Level in the Editor. However, once you initiate a Mobile Preview (PIE) session, they disappear.

Thank you.

This was actually answered a short while ago, and I mistakenly forgot about it. Unfortunately, modulated shadows DO NOT work in LDR. Answer here by Tim Hobson: https://answers.unrealengine.com/questions/349682/lighting-on-mobile-issues-410.html
