Hello,
I file this under bugs as I don't think it is as it should be.
Even in the new engine, outside light will illuminate rooms and corridors inside buildings that have no windows. This is not only unrealistic but it does also impact the gameplay. If indoor illumination would be realistic the flashlight would be a much more important tool (even in daytime) and the game would have far more athmosphere. Players/Zombies could hide in dark corners e.t.a.
I like the way the engine works inside buildings in miscreated.
Hello OliverKay and thank you for the report.
The issue has been confirmed and scheduled for a fix.
Regards,
Geez
Hello,
I am a bit confused about the status since you reopened it again. Would it be possible to see a picture how a windowless corridor looks like in the internal build?
Can t wait for this to be improved/fixed.
Keep up the good work! :)
Hello OliverKay.
I have resolved the ticket by mistake, the feature is still being worked on.

Geez
Hello again.
The issue has been fixed internally and should be fixed on Steam soon.

I would like this to be reopened. As the fixes are not what I mean. I was looking for Sparse Voxel Octree Total Illumination support: this would give the following improvement https://youtu.be/Z-vuff9LDBk
I think it is important for gameplay, realism and overall visual quality that there is no light where there is no window inside of buildings.
Please fix
Hello OliverKay.
Currently it is highly unlikely that DayZ will receive the Sparse Voxel Octree Total Illumination support as the implementation would be very problematic.
Regards,
Geez
