r.Shadow.FadeResolution and r.Shadow.RadiusThreshold values in DefaultScalability.ini are not being applied

4) Close the Editor and save the map
5) Open or Create "DefaultScalability.ini" in the Project's Config Folder

7) In this section,add: "r.Shadow.FadeResolution=16"

[ShadowQuality@1]
r.Shadow.FadeResolution=16

8) Save and close
9) Open the level again. Zoom out again.
