Terrain flickering due to real-time shadows?

Question

I get occasional heavy flickering on my terrain now since I turned on real-time soft shadows. Any idea what could be the cause?

For an example, look at 0:29 and onward in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pX8Q3tKHZMU

Changed my camera far clipping plane from 700000 to 100000 AND disabled shadow cascades in the Quality settings - one of them worked, not sure which one. Will keep hands away from now, now that it works...

Wow, 100000 is still quite a lot - you even wont be able to see anything in 100 km (unles you are high above the ground). Disabling Shadow cascades wil hugely impact shadow quality, which might be unwanted.

Check your camera's near clip plane. Increase it as this is the most important factor that determines depth buffer precision. Here's a good explanation: https://www.sjbaker.org/steve/omniv/love_your_z_buffer.html

If you are having issues with lighting, and its related to a created model, ensure you have selected "Generate LightMapping UV's" in the import tab.
