@Cianna
I haven't been able to repro this, although I have seen it before (releases ago) when my video drivers were out of date. Yours may be up to date but I wasn't sure
If you see this a lot, I'd like to go through some troubleshooting to see where we can pinpoint the issue. Others have seen this as well. What video settings to you play at in-game? It's really something I haven't seen in a good six months or so and I'm regularly in scenes at night like this...

 

I had this happen to me today as well. My settings are set to fantastic with shadow set to medium.

 

Hi, @Lexie

I checked last night and my video drivers are up to date. My video setting is on Fastest and shadow distance is None.

Also, as of now, I haven't seen this anywhere else except in Ardoris.

 

Thank you for checking. I have to ask!
I did just notice you are on a Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600. That's your on board graphics card. Our minimum or recommended dedicated graphic cards may serve you best.
Of course, this may or may not be related to this issue.

My graphics drivers are also up to date. Running on auto (medium settings) and I have these as well. They don't stick around for long though.
