    I am having serious lighting issues.

    I keep getting flickering shadows and what not, like someone is taking a lot of photos with a flash to the point its a strobe light.

    It doesn't effect the over all brightness, but the shadows on items and its semi hard to describe.

    I feel it may be that my PC is riding a line between the new auto performance adjustments and thus resulting in this flashing of shadows on objects like trees.

    I am experiencing the same thing in more than one scene. I'm using a Nvidia GTX 560 Ti with driver version 365.19 on a MS Windows 10 Pro OS. In my POT the Haunted Keep of Solania it was a constant flash.

    I just went back and tested it. The Sun was coming up. I noticed that the flashing was moving. It started off at high elevation. And slowly and then more quickly it started to effect lower elevations. So at first I arrived in my POT and it was not flashing. I moved up a hill to my NPC village. Then the flashing started. I would walk back down a bit and then it would stop. I started to walk back up and it started but this time a bit sooner. I repeated this about 10 times. Soon I could not walk up at all and was at the lowest point in the lake of my POT Mountains and the flashing persisted no matter where I went. So maybe its something to do with the sun light source?

    Also my NPC only have heads. Well the banker NPC has something that is part of his leg.
