Hello,
i have a bug with the last version of the plugin (14.38) using a plane with Shadow Catcher material and a light without cast shadows.
In the previous versions all worked good and I had good shadows useful for compositing, but now every light without cast shadows enabled break all the scene:

I tried different settings for lights, camera and kernel but nothing worked.

Could you please elaborate some more, what exactly is wrong?..
Do you mean the noise?.. If yes - I can't reproduce it, and I see absolutely the same result in 14.35, 14.36 and 14.38.
Could you attach this scene?

Yes I mean the noise.
I have this noise in every scene that I use a plane with a shadow catcher material and a light without cast shadows.
I attach another image and a base scene.

Thank you for the report!
Unfortunately it's not something that could be fixed on the plugin side - the engine team has just confirmed that this is a rendering engine bug.
Should become OK after the fixed rendering engine version is released and integrated by the plugin...
