Hi Pat,

Please could you raise tickets for these and include the videos.  If you
could include information on your system that would be great.

This is due to not supporting the old style lights.  I can't remember
exactly where we are on emissive light support in HDR, but the model will
definitely need to be updated.

I've seen this on my system as well.   I've not been able to isolate a
cause.

That's new to me.   I note that the HDR pipeline has a
"atmos-aerial-perspective-layered" pass for calculating atmospheric aerial
perspective where there is no compute shader support which may be the cause.
