Skyrim - Shadow Fail - PC Bugs

Here's one of the many bugs I've come across in the PC version of Skyrim. I've only ever see this happen in this particular shop (Radiant Raiments).

I should add that this was with version 1.0 with a vanilla install. No mods.

Damn, sorry for the double post, Youtube spazzed out on me there, told me my first post was an error and didn't go through.

@Microverse1 haha, that happens from time to time. I wish they'd sort the comment system out. You'd think they'd put more effort into it considering it's one of the most important features on the entire site.

Happen to me too.

@Pokkuti Have you seen it happen anywhere else? Or just in this one spot? I've only seen it here, but other people tell me they see it elsewhere too, usually indoors.

This week in fail

Bethesda cant do differed rendering... Are you surprised?

Next week in fail

Lights also don't reflect off of surfaces causing silhouette syndrome to any object with a light behind it at night.. rather then add that necessary feature they turned up the contrast and global illumination at night.... so what are touches and candle magic for now? .... errr ummm anybody?

@TalesOfWar Happens to me everywhere.

@StRediculous As i said, this is not a "bug." Bethesda will not be overhauling the entire shadow engine. They have never made any official statements about it at all as far as i know though. Personally i am much more displeased with the outdoor sun shadows. Modders may improve this eventually, but bethesda will not. It's not just a simple patch type thing, i don't think.

@StRediculous Like i said, it's not a bug. It's not something that they consider to be in need of "fixing." They are not going to overhaul the entire shadow engine (which i do consider to be broken in many ways). I am much more concerned with the outdoor sun shadows myself. Modders may improve this eventually, but Bethesda will not.

Bethesda has never made any official statements at all, as far as i know, on the suck that is the shadow engine.

@Microverse1 I'm not trying to call you out -- my intent is for clarification and a piece of mind -- can you reference where Bethesda has said they will not be fixing this?

[Microverse1]

It's caused by flame, when indoors. Not a "bug," just poor programming. It's in alot of places. The worst is in my whiterun home. They will not be fixing this.

After patch 1.2 ? I have the same ...

Breeze home in Whiterun, torture room in Thalmor Embassy. These are locations I came across this issue so far.
