    Weird shadow glitches

    Hello,

    I have some weird shadow glitches which only occur in certain areas of the map. It glitches seem to be concentrated in the North part of the map.
    Here are some examples:

    As you can see in this image, when I look down in a certain angle, a huge shadow pops up.

    In this image you can see I have no shadows in my vicinity at all, but they are shown further up. (The trees in the top right of the image)

    And lastly, there are shadows of trees where there shouldn't be shadows at all.

    My PC specs:
    GeForce GTX 970
    Intel Core i7-3770K @ 3.50GHz
    16 GB RAM
    Resolution: 1920 x 1080 59Hz
    Nvidia driver: 344.75
    OS: Windows 7 Ultimate

    I have tried various in-game settings, from low to ultra, switching ambient occlusion, AA, AF, Shadow quality, etc.

    I am at a loss as why this glitch occurs, and I have not seen anyone else having these issues on the internet.

    EDIT: Fixed. Reset the video options to default and then change each individual video setting manually to your desire.
    Make sure Nvidia Game Optimization doesn't automatically change the settings for your game again.

    I'm having these issues as well. Whenever I move shadows just appear out of no where and then disappear when I look around.

    I seem to have "fixed" the issue.
    It's a really odd workaround, but it works.

    What I did was reset the video options to default (Reset To Default) and then changed the video settings manually to fit my preference.
    Hope this works for you as well.
