Trees display "winter" shadows in summer, without leaves.

That's what I thought. And that's what the rest of are seeing too.

Thanks for sharing your experience. Hopefully we'll get an official response soon!

This thread is getting buried, so I'll ask: Is there any action on social media regarding this bug? (Twitter, etc.) Any recent Guru responses?

[manzana0807]

No and trust me I've been checking pretty frequently. I went from this is just slightly annoying to now I'm getting irritated, because Mac users complain about upside down screenshots, which is easily fixable by the player and they get a response right away that the issue is being fixed for them in the next patch.

I know that's just one small example, but I honestly believe if this was an NVIDIA problem, with tons of people reporting we'd have heard something by now.

Please @SimGuruNick, @SimGuruIcarus, or @SimQARobo could one of you please, please look into this issue for AMD users? It would help all of us to feel better about this if we knew someone from Maxis was aware of this problem and taking steps to fix it.

Hello @manzana0807

We are aware of this issue and are still investigating it.

[manzana0807]

Thank you, thank you so much for responding! Just knowing you're looking into it is good enough for me! I don't feel quite as anxious about it now.
