Almost everything I find wrong with night lighting can be summed up in this picture from the Halloween challenge.

Same issues for the default LOWI too.

- Just in the off chance, I removed all of my community add-ons and updated to the latest NVIDIA driver. Same issue before and after NVIDIA driver update, so we can rule that one out completely.

It's almost as if they are applying an almost  duplicate lighting mesh, one on top of the other.

I did submit a bug report to zendesk, we'll see what happens.

Nothing happened 😂. Just flown through them. It was like that scene from Tangled, with a myriad of Chinese Lanterns floating about. I got quite excited at first, because I thought it was a huge flock of pigeons racing through the valley.

It has to do with the LOD of the terrain mesh and the lights being rendered associated with multiple LODs at the same time.

In a Dev Q&A they said "it's been fixed everywhere it had been reported" and to keep reporting to ZenDesk if you see it.

I saw it at Innsbruck, which, from what I can understand, was the most reported area for the problem.

Yeah.....Sometimes I feel like we need fact checking for the Dev Q&As...
