    Soft shadows are broken after patch

    The soft shadow setting now eliminates all shadows and glitches with occasional shadow flickering after the patch. It's fine on Ultra, but I'd like the soft shadow feature to work.

    I've read around the net, and it seems others are having the same issue: https://steamcommunity.com/app/29811...6260/?l=danish

    Is there anything we can do about this?

    SPECS:
    Videocard: Geforce GTX 670
    Processor: Intel i2500K
    Mainboard: Asrock p67 Pro3
    Memory: 12GB Kingston HyperX DDR3
    PSU: Corsair TX750

    All with latest drivers across, ofcourse.

    Not sure, but sounds like a similar problem I have with shadows.

    So after the most recent update I've had a lot of graphical glitches. Shadows are all out of whack and the image can go from dark to light. I'll being in a shady area, I turn and then it is extremely bright within the exact same area. The shadows randomly appear. In addition the shadows can be pixelated and also spaz out. Also, objects and NPC's pop in a lot. Was working fine with patch 1.04. Dammit Ubisoft...

    Everything on Ultra except for motion blur. Motion blur is off. Using HBAO+ and soft shadows. (Both worked fine before 1.05 patch.)

    My Specs:
    CPU-AMDFX 8350
    RAM-Corsair 16gb DDR3 Dominator 1600
    MOBO-Gigabyte 990fxa-ud7
    GPU-Crossfire ASUS Matrix 7970p (Catalyst Omega 12.14 driver)
    Game on SSD
    PSU-Corsair 1200w Platinum

    Same here. I also noticed that in some locations shadows are fine while in other are completly broken. I'm uploading video of it so anyone can see.

    EDIT.:

    It happends only on second part of the map and only with "Soft shadows" option.

    Yeah that is the issue dude. It kept getting worse as I progressed in the story. It got really bad when I was in the Himalayan Mountains (Prison and Willis missions.) I did notice it through out the entire map though and it would happen inside at points too. It was just absolutely horrible after the bridge. How does ubisoft manage to do this? I also get missing textures. Dammit Ubi.

    Same problem here. The latest Patch is broken up my soft shadows, but only in northern Kyrat. Turning shadows to "Ultra" settings, everything is fine. My sys-specs are: GTX580 (with Geforce 344.75), i7-920 @ 3.60GHz, 6GB RAM (for more infos go to: http://www.sysprofile.de/id33911 ).

    I hope this issue will be fixed soon.
