    In Unity 4, objects lit by LightProbes were also able to receive real-time shadows from itself or other objects.
    In Unity 5, however, enabling "UseLightProbes" on a renderer automatically disables all shadow-receiving features of the material.
    Does anyone know how to work around this issue? Is this by design or should I file a bug report?

    Still works for me in Unity 5. Are you using deferred rendering?

    Only realtime lights do cast shadows on lightprobe-lit meshes and there is no thing like dual lightsmaps in Unity 5.
    You'll have to work around it with dublicated lightsources.
