Description

Volumetric Translucent Shadow not showing in game mode for versions 4.23-4.25. 

Reported and tested in versions 4.25.3(CL 13942748), 4.24.3(CL 11590370), 4.23.1(CL 9631420), 4.22.3(CL 7053642). Working as expected in version 4.22.3.

Steps to Reproduce
  1. Create a new material, set Blend Mode to Translucent, and set Lighting Mode to Surface Forward Shading.
  2. Drag a Sphere object or any mesh into the scene and check Volumetric Translucent Shadow under lighting section.
  3. Apply previously created translucent material to the mesh.
  4. Set directional light to Movable.
  5. Now the mesh should cast translucent shadow in Editor.
  6. Click Play button or PIE or other play mode.
  7. The mesh doesn't cast shadow anymore.

Result: The translucent shadow from mesh disappears in game mode.

Expected: The translucent shadow should be the same as it in the editor mode.
