[1.06 v617] [Visual] - shadows in Oldsong

[Insolentius]

This is how the look normally (pay attention to the six main characters)...

 

 

... this is how they looked when warped...

 

 

... and here they're missing completely...

 

 

This also affects NPCs. You can notice the bug as you're moving the camera around (my characters are in the same spot). This is the only location where I experienced this bug.

I have seen this too with 1.05.

Using GTX 960M, if that matters...

Were you able to determine what makes them disappear or warp?

[Insolentius]

In Oldsong, the shadows extend towards southeast, and the problem becomes evident as you move the camera so that the characters are near the southeast corner, whereas in Northweald the shadows extend towards northwest, and the same issue crops up as you move the camera so that the characters are near the northwest corner. It probably has something to do with the direction of the light source and the way the engine draws shadows based on that source.

 

The problem is tied to these two locations or the 1.06 hotfix. It's unlikely that the problem is on my end because I have been running PoE using the same display driver ever since I started playing it (and I haven't had similar problems in more than 100 hours).

Hey Insolentius,

 

I went ahead and added this bug into our database. It will be sent to the appropriate department.

 

Thanks for the post and keep up the good work!
