Description
-
I am having an issue where I see a halo around AVs when the environment lighting is set to Midday (Legacy) while running the Official-SL-viewer-7-1-11-12363455226
-
Also tested with the Firestorm Extra FPS beta 7.1.12.77211. and see the same issue only when the environment lighting is set to Midday (Legacy) under World > Environment > Midday Legacy
-
When set to Midday from the Environment World > Environment > Midday no halo effect appears
-
This issue isn't present when running the Firestorm public release build 7.1.11.76496 that is pre-PBR

Steps to reproduce:
Menu: World > Environment > Midday Legacy

- The issue is present with even if Screen Space Reflections is turned disabled
My GPU is an AMD RX 6700 XT.
That being said this halo issue only manifests in Midday (Legacy) in ExtraFPS enabled viewer so seem unlikely it is the AMD GPU or drivers since this issue is not present if the viewer is PBR viewer such as that viewer prior to ExtraFPS such as FireStorm 7.1.11.76496
- My friend doesn't see it the halo issue when he runs the the Official-SL-viewer-7-1-11-12363455226 or Firestorm Extra FPS beta 7.1.12.77211 and set his set his environment to Midday (Legacy)
Would be useful to know if others users running ExtraFPS with an AMD GPU see this sam issue to better determine if this is a bug that specifically affects the graphics of AMD GPUs.

Research direction
Reproduce the halo using World > Environment > Midday Legacy in an ExtraFPS-enabled viewer, comparing it with Midday and the pre-PBR Firestorm 7.1.11.76496 build. Check whether disabling Screen Space Reflections changes the result and compare AMD RX 6700 XT behavior with the linked screenshots. Done means the halo no longer appears in Midday Legacy without regressing the other environment modes.
