Blinding lights and 2d jet black smoke

I have delt with an issue where parts of the map (always a point) are drenched in blinding light, or jet black almost 2d smoke, or a mix of the two. Mind you I have my graphical settings pretty much as low as they can go, and all my specs met the requirements for the game. Took 2 screen shots of the problem. Anyone know any fixes or is this and Id10T error?
