What happened to the transition between day and night and night to day? It's now like someone's switched on and off a lamp?

i thought that was just me, but yeh.

Remember in the 5:00 hour it is dark, 6:00 hour it transitions to light, and in the 7:00 it is light. If you enter an area at the end of the 6:00 hour it may be light to you on your screen as it resets to the beginning of the transition and if it hits 7:00 the light will suddenly be there instead of transitioning slowly. Play a character that depends on dark and you notice those things when waiting for it to get dark .

Some areas have a nicer transition then others. Depends on the skybox and tileset I think.

I've noticed this in areas that I know had dawn/dusk before, it seems to be back to normal today.
