Additional Notes
The first image illustrates the problem --even generic FN props appear to be dipped in ink. The second image shows the desired outcome (standard medium settings). The lower image shows how the banding can affect a flat plane or a generic FN wall.
This problem started with the 41.00 update. I’m not sure why it isn’t being reported by others because it’s easy to replicate and any islands with rectangle lights should be experiencing it. When playing you notice a severe degradation in graphic quality.
Both the material settings and the mesh density have no affect. It’s something that has changed within the shader model.
