    Lighting changes when moving

    I've recently bought FC5 gold edition and noticed a issue which may or may not have happened when I had it on the ps4 when it was released in 2018. Its turned night in the game for the first time and when I move the character/camera the brightness seems to change from bright to dull and vice versa. It's actually worse when using the mouse because it because more of a fast flicker. My pc is up to date and all drivers are up to date including the integrity on steam. My pc is a Intel i7 8600, 32gb ram with a AMD 5700xt. I have tried different settings from Ultra 144p to low 1080p including AA on full to off and vsync on and off and tried to cap the game at 60fps. No other game does this and like I said, I'm sure the ps4 had the same issue. I sent Ubisoft a ticket but I got this link back.... https://support.ubisoft.com/faqs/000025947
    Why do I get this feeling they are going to brush this under the carpet? Anybody else had this problem and know of a fix?

    Hey there bringmeflowers,

    I'm sorry that you're having issues with the lighting in the game. Support sent you that FAQ as it covers 90% of errors and has a lot of different steps to try. Have you went through it all?

    Also, may I please have a video of the issue?

    Because it is true. FC5 is dead for Ubi since Sep 2018, so they don't want to release any bug-fix anymore, sadly. Ubi knows about almost all current bugs in the game, but nothing fixed yet.

    To the problem:

    Do you have a video of that? Is it on the video on YT?

    Video link is above. I have tried to tolerate Ubisoft games. Wildlands and The Division were both enjoyable but very glitchy. I didn't bother with The Division 2 due to the same bugs (amazing they never fixed them) and Breakpoint which was shocking in Alpha and worse in Beta which I've always said, Beta these days is closer to a demo of the full game. You give them pure evidence and get a blank stare back.

    Here is a blast from the past which I sent them and they ignored.....

    Sorry but I think the video is completely OK, but I maybe know what you mean.

    Try if you didn't:
    -turn off AA
    -on your monitor there should be an option called Response time



    Set it to"Standard".

    I'm willing to accept help but I'm certainly not accepting the issue doesn't exist specially when it was mentioned in the link I posted from 2018 on console. I mentioned in my first post that I tried AA on and off Inlcuding low to ultra settings. I have tried changing the response time and sadly, it did nothing. I've took another video with my mobile phone so you can see more clearly what I'm on about and it certainly happens during the day and night. https://youtu.be/r52S2aNpTrw I must stress that no other game does this. It would be nice if Ubisoft could shed a light on this issue.

    Oh, this happened to me when I played on TV, never happened on monitor. It was caused by weird TV HDMI mode, when I switched to "Game" mode, flickering was gone.

    I don't think Ubi help by any way and won't fix it at all, sadly.

    Well everyone can see on here I asked Ubi-Spud for help with no further response. I have also sent them a ticket with the video and...…..No further response. I honestly can't remember if I fixed it on my tv back then but, all I can do is try every possible setting on my monitor. I'm currently redownloading fc5 on my ps4 just to see if it does have the same issue, If it does, I'm most likely wasting my time trying to fix it on my pc.
