Fail patch Bugthesda. Didn't get it right the first time. Didn't get it tight the second time. Recall your broken game.

That's the first thing I noticed when I played after the patch.

Of course they wouldn't detail that in their pathetic patch "note". What a fail.

Are you sure about that? I have the new patch installed and my character does cast shadows on both dynamic (NPCs and items) and static (ground, walls, etc.) objects as he did before. The same holds for all other NPCs and objects (trees, houses, etc.).
