They look like distorted, don´t they?

Yes. I attach a screenshot. Please take a look. Is this normal?

Oh, you mean THOSE bandings. It actually seems to be normal. I do nottice that, too; but doesn´t give me any problems.

It is normal.

Thanks for the information.

Glad to help.

Has there been any progress made on what causes the missing shadows?

A small amount. Neobrain was able to determine that it is a bug in Dolphin's GPU emulation. That's all though.

Yesterday I was watching a stream of this game on speed runs live ..
I don't know what the runner did (he must have done a glitch or something) but it caused the background music to stop and also shadows were no longer displayed until he fought boolossus .. After the cutscenes everything went back to normal ..

Was he using dolphin?

No most speedrunners use consoles, I thought this maybe could give a hint why the shadows are missing in Dolphin .. I hope next time he streams I will come to know what kind of glitch he is doing ..
