I'm sure I'm just missing something obvious, but whenever I try to render sprites with shadow maps turned on, I get a hard line on the sprites.

The line is perpendicular to the angle of the light and sort of goes away if I crank the shadow softness up. But sometimes I have to go all the way to 100 to get a more satisfactory look.

This kills the straight lines, but starts jacking up the render times significantly.

Do I need to render sprites with ray tracing on? Either way, I'm getting unreasonably long render times considering I'm rendering sprites.

Any help appreciated

Thanks
