Lighting glitches with torches and such

Post » Thu Mar 07, 2013 7:00 am

Hello, I noticed today something that I don't recall ever noticing and I was wondering if it's normal or something happened to my game.

I noticed there are places where, under certain angles, a torch's light seems to disappear. For instance, I am now in the Hall of Countenance in Winterhold College, and there are places, mostly on the stairs, where the torch just seems to turn off if I turn my character's head at certain angles. The light magically reappears when I turn my head again.

Two examples:

This happens on old saves too, with all mods disabled and with ini files reverted to their default aliases.

So is this normal? Is it a driver glitch (I have amd catalyst 12.11) or something else?

Thanks everybody.
