    I can't tell in the video what the time of day is, do you have the original version and can tell me what print is underneath the compass? YouTube compresses it too much...
    I ask because it seems to be time dependent, it doesn't have a 100% repro rate. I've seen this a long time ago but we couldn't repro it internally.
    @Barugon
    Thanks!

    I re-uploaded the video. Should be better now.

    does it happen with shadows off? does it happen with shadows on max? i suspect what's happening is that, since shadow distance is based on the camera location and not the char location, something big got in shadow distance range and cast a big shadow over the area.

    I'm going to see if I can repro it with what is noted on the compass, but if anyone finds the repro steps for this please step forward!
    I mean, aside from being in DRW and seeing it from time to time :) But if someone notices a pattern that would be awesome to know.
