Flickering light and dimming when moving away

Hey guys so ever since 4.12 ( i think) i started to notice that my fire on my barrel’s (using standard P_fire from content pack) flickers and dims when i move away from it…the illumination just dimms away and i tried messing with the bounds and not getting anywhere with it this is what it does:

This is what I dont want

This is what i want at every distance but the Lighting reverts to the first picture at close range

Any help is appreciated

atm its not ingame, unless i mess with the bounds…while in game it seems to default to the very dim light

Does this happen in game, or just in preview?
