UE5 - How to fix character shadow artefacts - Virtual shadow map

I ve seen many people running into this problem and it's really simple solution. You do not have to disable virtual shadow map and revert to the old system. Instead Check the bounds on your skeletal mesh.

Glad you solved it and thanks! I ve been seeing so many wrong answers for this, the main one being disabling Virtual Shadow map while it is such a simple fix, additionally, having wrong bound will create a lot of issue later not just related to shadow. I m hoping people looking for that answer will find it now.
