Hi everyone!
I'm having an issue that I'm uncertain whether it's new, or just old and unattended. I have noticed that when you place light sources from Empty>Objects on the map (like Barrel (burning) and Campfire(burning)) the lighting of these objects start to flicker when you are a couple of meters away from them. I know that they are supposed to have a natural flickering like a fire does in real life and they do, but when you get a certain distance from them, say 30 meter (100 feet) they start to flicker as if they are turned off and then on, sorta like a strobe does but very irregularly and annoyingly. When you have several of them you almost feel as if you are gonna get an epileptic seizure.
Another issue I also noticed is that the light sources don't show up when you get a great distance from them, say 500m (1600 feet).
Now to the really confusing part, any light source object already placed on the map by the designers (like street light) do not have any of these issues. they don't have the epileptic flickering and they show up even at great distances.
Does anyone have the same issues as i do? I have played ArmA 2 for a long time, but i can't remember if this is an issue I have had previously but just wasn't bother by, or if it's more recent. I only noticed it/was bother by it now because I'm making a night ops assault of a camp which has these placeable light sources in them.
Thanks for any answers in advance.
