I haven't checked other worlds, but I have this problem in both Willow Creek and Newcrest. I also can't see the glass of the glass roofs.

@LadyDarkSorrow @FairyOfLight14 what are your graphic settings?  Have you both performed the following steps post patch (if not, please do so): 1) remove any mods/CC, 2) clear your cache, 3) repair the game via Origin, 4) create a new save and test the issue in the save.

Even without mods/CC, corruption can occur in the game.  I never use them, but I always take the steps I listed above after every patch - I've had weird things happen when I didn't.  One thing I'm wondering about is if maybe some of what you're seeing is due to lighting changes in the game.  It seems to me that since the patch, we've got some changes to environmental lighting.  When I was in Forgotten Hollow, it was definitely difficult to even make out window details.  I was only able to verify that there was glass in some of the windows by swinging the camera around to find an angle that showed the glass.  Try looking at the window almost edge on in your camera and you should see the glass edge show up there.  They're not super easy to see, but if you look closely:

Also testing roofing, and it's definitely an issue in FH:

I haven't seen this in other worlds, but I haven't tested all of them - will go do that quickly and update the thread if necessary.

Yea, same, I'm going through all of the worlds and testing it out but it all comes out the same, non existent / barely noticeable textures and reflections on the windows and glass roofing, the only place I haven't seen the textures missing or invisible are the windows the look out on San Myshuno, otherwise the glass is almost non existant
