‘Black aura’ straight under objects on the floor / problem with the shadows

System configuration:
OS: Windows 10 Home Edition 64 bit.
Processor: i5-3570, 4 cores, 3,4-3,8 GHz.
Video card: Radeon R9 280 3Gb.
RAM: 16 Gb. 2 sticks of 8.
SSD for OS and HDD for game included.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Start or load a game.
  2. Find grenade, medkit or meat and bones from dead barnacle.
  3. Grab those things and drop them on the floor.
  4. You can see ‘black aura’ instead shadows straight under objects on the floor.

Expected result: usually there is no ‘black aura’ straight under objects on the floor. Every objects have their own shadows.

Actual result: there is ‘black aura’ straight under objects on the floor. This ‘black aura’ isn’t a shadow. I do not know what it is exactly but it exists. Looks suspicious. Objects haven’t their own shadow models.

Priority: major.

Some of the objects haven’t any shadows (SMGs, SMG clips and some others).

No clue what you are complaining about. images look fine.
