Zero Light Radius

ok I ll try it in a new thread ... since I read the guidelines saying I should not bump other threads.

I have a new laptop with an Intel HD 520 graphics card running on windows 10 (64bit) and ever since I got this laptop my characters lost their light radius. It is extremely dark in some dungeons and not really playable. It it not an issue with brightness, gamma or contrast on my display as there is sufficient visibility when there is another lightsource (like a candle on the wall). it is purely that my characters (all of them) do not seem to have a light radius. And no my characters do not have any items that set light radius to zero.

I recently updated the graphics driver to the latest version with no change.

A friend of mine who also has a laptop with the same Intel HD 520, was able to reproduce the problem.

I would appreciate if someone was able to tell me how to fix this problem.

Interesting Update:

I noticed in Ebony Barracks I do have a light radius and surroundings become visible as I get near them. One I enter for example Lunaris Temple I am back to seeing nothing

My fiance had this problem and we found a solution!

Basically, just turn "Shadow Quality" to "Off" (in the Graphics section of Options).
