This type of shadow has always been in the game as far as I remember but maybe not as noticable before. It's the game's SSAO. An artificial way of working out where shadows should be cast. It doesn't always have the most realistic of results. Some players edit their graphics rules file to disable it completely. So technically, I think it's behaving as designed.

I have been able to rid these unwanted lines by going into the games graphic card settings (Lighting) and setting the ssao to "false" for each category i.e. low, medium, high, very high.  Although you only really need to set the false value for the graphics setting you use in the game.  It really is a simple fix
