Incorrect nighttime darkness when loading an indoor save

[x0pht]

I'm not sure if it's mod related, but I recently noticed when I load a save made in an indoor area as soon as the game is started, the night becomes completely dark before 8 pm for the entire session, which is supposed to be around 9 pm. It happens even without any weather or night mods - in which case it's not "completely" dark since there's no completely darkness with vanilla weather, but the difference in brightness is definitely still noticeable.

 

I don't encounter this problem when loading a save made in an outdoor area upon firing up the game.

 

e.g.

 

7 PM:

outdoor save: http://i.imgur.com/N6Xvcac.jpg

 

7:30 PM:

outdoor save: http://i.imgur.com/IaPfst1.jpg

 

(please ignore the difference of the saturation of the lantern in the screenshots, it's because of a mod patch that only changes LoS lantern colours, fade values, etc.)

 

Has anyone had a similar issue? any solutions?

 

Thanks in advance!

Someone please kindly try this and let me know the result.

1. Make a save in an indoor area between 7pm and 8pm, e.g. Lakeview Manor (that's where I made my test save)

2. Exit to desktop, restart the game, go outdoor, and take a screenshot as soon as the exterior is fully loaded

3. Exit to desktop and restart the game again, load the last auto save (if the auto save function is not turned off), and take a screenshot as soon as the game is fully loaded

Now you should have got two identical screenshots. Please compare them and let me know if there's any difference in brightness/darkness.

I really appreciate it if someone could give it a try and test it out for me.
