I noticed the color of the candles is a white light instead of the red/orange light they once were. I remember the lightstones being a white light but the fire lights (candle/torches, etc oh and fire beetle eyes!) being something other than a florescent white bulb.

Candle fixes are happening soon.

Unfortunately this is one of those edge cases that's VERY hard to find classic prior art for.

It does make sense that if you were invisible and holding an invisible flashlight, it would still light up the ground.

However, even if I wanted to fix it, I don't think I could.

It is what it is man. Don't even worry about it. What you and the rest of the devs have already done is frikkin incredible!

There's some odd texture flickering that I'm seeing while using hide. I'm in blackburrow at the moment on beta and every time I'm hidden (even if it fails) certain ground/ceiling textures are flickering black or white - the behavior stops when I remove hide. I'll try and get some screenshots for you - it does seem pretty consistent.

Is it fact that corpses with a torch or lightstone wouldnt emit light?

I got this to happen by moving the camera around in third person with the mouse wheel

*May be worth saying that I'm running Linux and using as many high res textures as I could dig up on the forums*

Unfortunately, stuff like that is pretty firmly in the "can't fix" bucket. I simply don't have the resources to even begin debugging what is likely a machine/driver/OS/modded texture issue [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

No worries! Just thought I would share =D

Here's a shot from Everfrost (canyons) using newest (today's) patch. Contrast this with video from in-era client posted earlier in thread by Tyronius. Terrain outside light source limit should not be flat black. Ground lighting is not 100% effective in-zone either, although it's mostly functional. Everfrost is one of the most problematical old-world zones I've found. Beholder's maze is also rough. Shot is human character, no vision buffs, greater lightstone in use, location visible in chat window.

after todays patch my text is very fuzzy.
how can I fix this?

Qeynos aqueducts are very bright. Given the discussions about the tunnels of Freeport, the Qeynos underground is not equivalent. I don't know what it was like in Classic.

Thanks for all of the hard work.
