Weird shadows on static props.

Here a problem:

Is there any way to fix it?

You can create info_lighting entities and set props' lighting origins to it.

For more final releases, you can use advanced lighting compile options https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Advanced_Lighting#Compile_Options

Specifically, -staticproplighting will fix all problems like these perfectly.

I had -StaticPropLighting, but it didn't help. Then i tried to add -StaticPropPolys -TextureShadows and i think it fixed it now.
Thanks for tip with info_lighting anyway!

In the future, if you still encounter issues like this even after using all that stuff, you can also try turning off self-shadowing of individual props. Self-shadowing is like ambient occlusion except it sucks.
