Explanation

Killer shadows are casted by the first-person view model.

This means that their shadow is distorted from the Killer's view, as the model is contorted to fit within the player's FOV, etc.

Games, especially first-person ones, often cast shadows based on what the server sees, rather than what the first-person player sees for this very reason.

This applies to all graphics settings.
