Annoying minor graphical glitch with campfires

[shmalex]

Hi, I don't know if anyone has ever experienced this before, but every single campfire (dead ones and living ones) in my game is missing the ashes/coals/embers part of it. This is what a dead campfire looks like at Ostagar:

 

 

And here it is again in the base camp with the main live fire:

 

 

 

It's driving me insane even though it's incredibly minor and really has no effect on anything except the visuals. I cannot determine why this is happening, because I downloaded the game (DAO Ultimate version on Steam) to another computer with zero mods and the bug shows up there, too. I can't tell if I'm crazy or if the glitch has always been there and I just never noticed before last night. I decided to open the DAO toolset and it looks normal there. (image provided below for comparison, the same dead Ostagar campfire from the toolset)

 

 

Changing the graphical options available in-game or via the configuration launcher have no effect. The only thing I can think of is that it's somehow related to Nvidia video cards since it occurs on both of my machines which have Nvidia cards. Does anyone else get this graphical glitch or have any ideas as to what I can try to fix it? Mods or no mods it does it, including all sorts of texture mods, so I don't think it's a missing texture, but it could be that the texture I need isn't available in any mod.

IIRC this is the issue addressed by the standalone Campfire Texture Fix files from the Morrigan Restoration Patch mod... it's a small download, under 'optional files'. (And apologies in advance if I've misremembered!)

Wow. Thank you so much! I would never have guessed it was an optional file part of that mod.
