Hi everyone,
the 28th update has been out for a week now and since then I have been seeing a strange and constant light source. It is always located on the right side of the character, doesn’t matter where you point your camera. The first few days I didn’t think about it that much, but now it has become a bit annoying.
I don’t know if I should have posted this in the “art style bugs” thread because no specific armor or class has this bug. Friends and guildies that I know don’t seem to have it.
At first I thought that my graphic’s card driver was outdated, so I updated it, but I still have the same bug. Even if I change the graphic options, or switch between fullscreen and windowed, the light source persists. The same light is visible on every other player that I see in my field of view, every pet, most NPCs and also some mobs, mostly risen, human, charr and every other mob that could be the same race as a real player. For example, I can’t see this light on creatures like skelks or fireflies (see screenshot).

I played around a lot with the light coming from the sun, but as you can see from the screenshots at the end of the post, there is light on the right-hand side of armors even if the character’s shadow on the ground is on the right too.
Another graphic bug that occurs since the update is connected to the swamps that have always had a different, more shadowy, mix of colours. I have noticed this just because the names on top of players and NPCs are now of a different colour. There have been situations where names of NPCs and real players where so modified by the swamp biome that the color was the same for both. Before, real players had a distinct blue colour and NPCs a distinct green colour.
In the following screenshot, you can see that the neutral mob “Firefly” has almost a white name instead of his usual yellow, making it difficult to know that it is actually neutral and not just innocent like a crow.

I attach some more screenshots to better describe the problem. If there are any details that I should provide just tell me. I can also post screenshots for specific situations if needed.

Here, the sun is on the right (no bug because the sun’s light and the persistent light overlap):

Here, the sun is on the left (light from the sun to the left, light from the persistent source to the right even if there is the shadow on the ground):

Same bug on another character and also on characters of other players:
