In the recent update they have improved the lighting without mention.

Now we have improved shadows and "god-rays" even reflections! Although the brunt of theses changes were focused on the swamp, previously my least favorite map to get because of lighting but now it is my favorite. It can be seen on all other maps. The lighting in the game is starting to finally look atmospheric and scary and it can only get better now.

    A brillant ilumination for the killer's eyes and an obscure ilumination for survivors eyes.

    I hate how the Yamaoka maps look now, now instead of being a good looking map that you can't see anything on it's a bad looking map with a shiny ground that you still can't see anything on.

    @Joelwino A reason i think it may be shiny is because of the inevitable map resigns, what I mean by this is i think in the future the weather of the map may be changed to be stormy, much like the reveal trailer or teaser of "The Spirit". Having the ground be "shiny" in my opinion looks better with the mindset that it's all just wet, like the red forest. But i don't really know, as of right now I think they should save the wet ground affect for the water areas under the small bridges.

    What I've noticed is that, since this update, every now and then I get mini-freezes that last for about 1 to 3 seconds during my games. The sound keeps going but the image completely stops, which has completely screwed a couple of my games. This has never happened to me before, and nothing has changed on my side in terms of hardware or software.

    I mean, it's great to have updates like these, however IF this update is the cause of me having performance issues, then I'm officially happy and angry, like Ralph. Game looks better but randomly performs worse. Yay? This is of course a problem of mine and may not have happened at all to other players, so I can't say for sure that this issue arised because of the update, however I've seen a few other reports of people having the exact same problem after they updated the game. So who knows...

    Killers are supposed to have enhanced senses. So, I would like killers to have more visibility than survivors. Keep it in line with the lore, please.
