pybullet: shadows working only with GUI_on

[breznak]

Setup:

Linux, pybullet 2.5.3, also with latest 2.6; python 3.7.5

Problem

In my environment I have

GUI_on handling:

# Set GUI
if self._GUI_on:
  cid = p.connect(p.SHARED_MEMORY)
  if (cid < 0):
    cid = p.connect(p.GUI)
  p.resetDebugVisualizerCamera(3.3, 180, -41, [0.52, -0.2, -0.33]) # Set GUI camera
else:
  p.connect(p.DIRECT)

And then I want shadows enabled:

p.configureDebugVisualizer(p.COV_ENABLE_SHADOWS, 1) # Shadows on/off
p.configureDebugVisualizer(p.COV_ENABLE_GUI,0) # GUI off

Expected behavior:

shadows shown always (regardless of GUI_on variable)

Actual behavior

With GUI_on=True, shawdows are shown,
while with GUI_on=False the shadows are not rendered.

Is this a bug or something incorrect in my setting? Thank you,

@breznak , were you able to solve this? Having same issue

[breznak]

@shpigi unfortunately I still haven't solved that. I'm not dealing with that problem anymore, though
