    Hello,

    Yesterday I bought two of the stunning 2017 Large Headless Horseman Grim Reaper statues and placed them in front of my Twin Spire Manor at Elads Lighthouse opposite the harbor.

    Now I have noticed that the flaming Jack-o-Lantern are not flaming! That does not always happen. Sometimes it's enough to quit and restart the game. But now the heads do not light up even after a restart. It does not matter if it's day or night (see Screens).

    Is there a switch or are the statues only lit at certain times or is it a bug?

    I would be very grateful for your help.

    Best regards
    Jupiter Eight

    I am not able to repro this - are you seeing this to be fixed now?
    There shouldn't be anything you have to do to get it to work.

    @Jupiter8
    Which are your graphics settings?
    I can see the effect just fine, but there is some setting which limits/removes effects like that. I had issues like that with the Fire Elemental stature with that on a separate pc than my gaming rig.
    Something like Use Camera Effects or Camera Bloom or something like that resolved mine although I don't remember which.

    Unfortunately, I can only see the flaming Jack-o-Lantern in one of three program launches

    And here is a current screen:

    Hello,

    I think it's not a problem of the "2017 Large Headless Horseman Grim Reaper Statue" but the lighting.

    Also my "Ornate Giant Grim Reaper Statue" lacks the glow of the Fire Eyes. I used 12/12 lights on my City Lot.

    Maybe these hints will help you.

    @Mishikal:

    Thanks for your feedback !

    But the problems are not comparable. The small 2017 Headless Horseman Grim Reaper statue shines exactly as described and illustrated (just like a small lamp :) Here Portalarium has delivered exactly what was promised. So no problem (no ticket).

    The big Grim Reaper statues are very impressive and shine perfectly. Regardless of the type of statues, there seems to be a problem when all outdoor light limitations of the Lot are reached and all items etc. are to be loaded immediately. In my opinion, this is a general problem. I pointed that out in my last post.

    I like the game, the developers and the support are great. That's why these lighting problems are not Prio One for me.

    If you read the post I linked, it is not behaving as it is described when you buy it in the Addon store:

    "carrying a flaming Jack-o-Lantern!"

    The Jack-o-Lantern is most definitely *not* flaming.
