So I added a little underground area, however the water for some reason still reflects the sun, even though it is not in view of the sun:



I even tried add this above it:



Still same thing. Is it possible to fix this or is it another shitty thing with CoD 5's engine? I can live with it, but if anyone has info I'd appreciate it.

Have you tried placing some "chalk shadow" around that area?
It blocks all lights so it should work :]

It's already that. ;-;



Edit: Actually looking at the screenshot it might be the fact the clip_water outside, but it still happens when I didn't have that and it was only a patch.

From what i know having water brushes clipping with other brushes/models tends to give problems, try resizing the water brush better? maybe that works

same story, even without the clip brush, the water patch on its own gives same result, but obviously not as noticeable, rip.

Maybe its because the water brush is in part "outside of the map" where the sun light can still touch it, try to cover all the water (even under) with chalk shadow?

I already said I tried that. ^^

Are you sure that's the sunlight reflecting and not just one of your lights?

Oh sorry, i was still looking at that screen,unfortunatly i need to go, but as soon as i get home ill come up with something else.
Oh on a side note, tried putting a reflection probe near the water surface? maybe that can fix it?

that is a reflection probe showing  one of your lights.

yeah, removed all lights (only 5 atm) and still same thing, this is it without the water clip thing and just patch:

There's one there.

Did you place a new lightgrid volume over the area?

I did indeed, it covers the entire area including down that tunnel.

Make a custom water texture, you can use this .gdt from codmoddd (all credit to him) - https://mega.nz/#!jEYTnbTY!2CGcegcEB_THlaYQxi4BAO8nItn74rceG3nKERvHNpI

Under the water settings you can set 'sun reflection' to 0 (already is in the .gdt) and it should kind of work.

This worked great, tell him he's a fucking legend, I was even able to modify the settings to make the "stream" effect a bit better on the water. ^^

Thanks for all the help guys.
