@bryce, can you give me more details about your setup? Or is it the stock mission or..?

This is the Undercity level. I opened it for the first time from the toolbox, switched to basic lighting, and noticed that the shadow was oriented strangely. In the Warrior Camp level, the shadow works fine.

Probably because Undercity doesn't have a ScatterSky providing sun directions anymore.

Yeah, it's caused by there being no sun object (be it Sun or ScatterSky).

Don't get rid of that level! The day will come when it will be a "torque collector's item classic".

I just found the same issue on my Mac, but as it's already fixed, I won't add any word except 'bravo'.
