Found a weird bug
After some testing I found out that this addon is partially incompatible with TFA weapons. For some reason whenever I enter the "inspect" mode on any TFA weapon, all dynamic shadows (props, NPC's and similar, although vehicles seem to be an exception) disappear whenever I use CSM. Only way to get them back is to restart the map, and no errors are logged anywhere. Maybe worth looking into.

I was using this one:
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1304932254

In addition to inspecting the weapon I also had my HUD disabled through the "drawing" menu, maybe that has something to do with it.

can't reproduce, inspecting works fine. I had to try with a different swep as inspecting was not an option on that specific weapon

With inspecting I'm talking about the menu you get by pressing C, AKA the customization menu. Should probably have clarified that earlier.

Weird. Only other thing I remember was that I was viewing the map through a camera when it occured, and if that isn't the case I'll have to go back in myself.

Hey, I know this might be a late reply but I found a fix for this issue. Go into TFA SWEP Base Settings -> Inspection GUI and turn off "Use Inspection Bokeh DOF" if you enabled it. For some reason having it on breaks dynamic shadows. (Also that's probably why Xenthio couldn't replicate the issue since it's not on by default)

interestingly, using scope ads bokeh doesn't break it, no idea why
