Cubes and Shades Graphical Bug (HOW TO FIX)
Fix: If you have any hanging skull lamps in your house you need to destroy them cause its the one making those cubes. Items Such As: Bone Chandelier/Ceiling Skull Lamp. A good replacement would be the WALL TORCH.

Problem: In Sons Of The Forest, I really enjoyed the new building mechanism. But I do find myself saying "i wish they added more opportunities in other creations such as being able to fill a "right triangle" wall, to make my roof more realistic. Spending a good amount of hours of cutting trees and building my roof I finally finished somewhat of what I wanted my base to look like. After i finished my roof I logged off for the night and came to an update called "Hotfix 2" and downloaded the Hotfix update. Ever since then I noticed that there was these little cubes on my screen. On my walls, floors and even on my weapon that I have equipped. It's only inside my base and if I were to walk out of my base I don't see it anywhere else. I want to find a way how to post these screenshots of when I'm inside my base and that its only specifically when I'm inside my base. I would like to believe it's a graphical bug as in shaders of some sort but I'mm not a game developer or PC specialist so I wouldn't know what this is, if it is a bug or if its my PC... Overall I'm not really upset just worried about my PC. And I understand the game is early access. I hope somebody can tell me whats the issue and I hope that is fixed soon. (If it's the game not my PC)

But finally I found a thread with a hint: it seems to be a problem with the scull lights. After removing them, the cubes disappeared.

I deleted everything except the saves and reinstalled the game but the problem still exists.
