not able to see the beams of light from the drops
When I first started playing shortly after this game came out on PC, I was able to see the beams of light from the drops from meters away but now I cant see them at all. Anyone else having trouble seeing them as well? or have any suggestions as too why?
I have not messed with my settings at all

I know if you change a video setting to low (cant remember which) the beams do not show up. The setting requires Medium or higher. I'll chime back in once i recall what its called lol. But if you are playing on higher settings it very well could be a bug. I know the corpse one hasn't worked

Thank you. Yeah the corpse one has never worked but the drop beams worked at first but not anymore

There is a bug where if the drop is within the area of a cave, when approaching the drop, both beam and drop vanish from sight, the drop is still there and if you go blindly looking for it clicking the air you can still access it. You just can't see it.

Alternatively there is an option in video settings which if set to low can cause you to not see any beams at all. Global Illumination Quality i think it is.. not sure tho.
