Apologies if this has already been brought to attention but I have here an image of some really awful lighting issues within Gridania's market halls. I'm honestly surprised this wasn't caught during development.

As you can clearly see, the shading is rather patchy. While it's not a gif, it's incredibly noticeable when idling in the areas as the patchy shadows move with the swaying of the characters.
I hope this gets resolved soon.

Weirdly the same happens in Solution 9 on some certain scenes, you notice those... jagged? layered? ...those weird shadows. there seems to be some kinks with the light...

Look down. The shadows thrown by some of the lights in the Gridania markets are reaaaaally low resolution. Like counting the pixels low.
Might also be some kind of issue with whatever picks priority for shadows. The game will pick a "main character" who gets better shadows than others. Usually it's the player but sometimes it's someone else.Quote:

Speaking of shadows, certain interior spaces have the same ghastly shadows I thought the graphics update was about getting rid of.
