[BUG REPORT] Witcher 3 v1.11 shadows bug
Hardware/software: Intel CPU i7-3630QM @ 2.4 Ghz, 12 GB of Ram, Radeon HD 7970m with 15.7.1 drivers (up to date), and windows 7 SP1 (up to date).
Bug: When riding/walking through certain “darker” shadows, the protagonist’s skin becomes pitch black. Also, there is visible changes on horse (Rouch) textures, they become darker too.
To recreate the bug, simply go to the second map of the game (Velen - No Man's Land) there is a first small village, and just ride to the right of the village (using the road).
Such “riding”, video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zba4ce4wCYs&feature=youtu.be
(!) also at the very end of the video there is exact location (of one of many) for this bugs recreation.
As seen in the video, once you pass the certain “dark” shadow, character’s skin becomes black. To solve this you either ride back through that same shadow (as seen in the video). Restarting the game, or running through other shadow elsewhere also does the trick. I don’t know. Sounds like magic?... it is weird, I agree.
Important thing to note is that this bug only occurs in second map of the game: Velen – No Man’s Land (maybe afterwards too – I’m not sure, because I’ve not progressed that far). In the first map – White Orchard I’ve never once encountered this bug (walked through that place “thrue and thrue”), and in second map Bug is apparent after ~10 minutes. And everywhere – there are more than one place with those “bug inducing” shadows.
The version of game I’m talking about here is 1.11. This is important, because, before buyng it on steam, I’ve tried it let’s call it “for free”. It’s €42. I had to (try before buyng that is). And what I tried for free, was GOG version 1.04, and there I’ve explored almost all the 2[SUP]nd[/SUP] region, the shadow buggy stuff, that I’m encountering in 1.11 wasn't there.
Thank you for any help whatsoever, or solutions to this annoyance.

Guess I forgot to mention, that I do not use any mods. All free DLC is downloaded and active.
Also: do developers answer to these kind of inquiries? And how would one know if this will be fixed?
