Steps To Reproduce

  • Using an EEP viewer, set water to default and observe how the sun reflects in the water when environment is set to sunset & sunrise.

  • Change the water to "Lassies Clearwater" from the Library & observe how the sun reflects in the water.

  • My graphics settings in the attached images are on default Ultra.

  • You need ALM enabled to reproduce the bug.

    Observed Behaviour

  • The sunlight reflections in the water are way overblown & either a blindingly white line or odd looking strobing flashes of white if the water setting has transparency.

  • See attached images

    • Fig 1 - Sunset, default water on EEP with ALM enabled - the reflection is far too bright & glowy.

    • Fig 2 - Sunset, default water on EEP with ALM disabled - looks good.

    • Fig 3 - Sunset, default water on legacy with ALM enabled - looks good.

    • Fig 4 - Pretty much any sky setting with a water that has transparency - has a horrible specked flash.

      Expected Behaviour

      Water reflections should look nice with ALM enabled.
