Weird light effect from indoor fireplace
Acknowledged, NormalPublic

Description

When looking at an indoor fireplace at night there is a very ugly effect that I assume is meant to simulate the blinding effect of the light source. However, the effect is too strong and when the rest of the room is dark it just looks like an ugly smudge in the middle of the screen. See enclosed screenshots.

When viewing the fireplace at an angle it looks normal, but when looking directly at it the effect is triggered.

Hello Beavis and thank you for the report.
We have been trying to produce the issue internally, however, so far we had no luck in reproducing the issue. Have you tried if your video settings affect the behaviour of the issue? And do you experience this issue with all indoor fireplaces or is it always in this specific building?
Regards,
Geez
