Weird glow

[oceanrage]

Hey Ive noticed when I walk around some village or field, there are some odd shiny glowing orbs that flash at a distance for a split second then dissapear 

Its some graphical thing I suppose, but does anyone know what I am talking about?  Or any suggestions as to how I can fix that?  Thanks

I don't seem to recall that ever happening in my game... Have you installed the latest display drivers?

Yeah, I have this too. I believe it's a common problem when you turn on both HDR and AA. If you turn off AA you should be fine. Warband suffers from the same issue. Luckily these blinks don't bother me too much.

i get the exact same thing, but i've never bothered to try to fix it.  i use a gtx 460 with all settings on max.

I think I solved it.
Rattaplan I think you are right. Whenever I turn HDR on I get those lights. So I turned HDR off. 
Its not a big deal though right?  I dont want to dull down the graphics just for those lights.

And I think I am playing with AA on.

At what time of day are you seeing these? They may be the fireflies particle effect.
