6 months ago Not an issue with FusionFix, this might be the result of aggressive object or shadow culling, happens in the vanilla game, even on the console build too (see video below).
Recorded on the xenia emulator:

6 months ago Was able to reproduce that immediately too. A proper Long Shadows implementation would fix this, I'm pretty sure. For now, or forever : ( , we gotta live with it.

Those work fine. Just use Console Shadows. And that's a totally different thing anyway, related to the 16 dynamic shadows limit, if you mean lamppost shadows disappear depending on the camera angle. FlickeringShadowsFix also attempts to fix that, although has a minor issue, and is completely ignored when using Console Shadows because it disables headlight shadows entirely. Please however make sure that FlickeringShadowsFix is on when Console Shadows are set to off. It could bring modest performance enhancements. So yeah, keep that "fix" untouched, leaving it to 1.
If you mean the lights themselves, they fade in and out properly now, and their distance can be tweaked with View Distance and Detail Distance. (make sure you don't crank them up to 100, highest you should use imo is 84, and 40).

Only issues I know of with this fix is that single headlights (such as bike headlights or cars with one broken) still cast shadows.
