Unity 5 Directional Light Shadow Flicker

Question

Hello, after I updated my project to Unity 5 all of the shadows starting to flicker. In Unity 4.6 was no flicker with the setup.

Maybe is this a known bug?

What I did is to move the directional Light near the objects and it worked. This doesn't make any sense as directional light is infinite but it did the trick to me. I hope I can save some time to anyone else, this is clearly a bug.

We're having the same issue. Moving the znear from 0.1 to 1 improves the flickering, but is not an acceptable solution for our project.

Changing the near clipping distance of my cameras from .01 to .1 fixed the flickering for me.

Same issue here. Deferred, linear, HDR (and I made sure of it).
