Hi Iridescence -

The light shaft bloom issue that you are witnessing has been reported and is a known issue. We are currently investigating a fix for the issue, for reference the bug report number is UE-17199. In the meantime, if your Screen Resolution is exactly 100% you should not see any bloom, light shaft errors.

Thank You

Eric Ketchum
