    Deleting the ShaderCache.cooked file resolved the problem for me.

    Adding my voice to this, never saw it before today but now I've got it, too.

    Weird disco lights on the ground when it rains.

    Quitting out of the game and restarting oftentimes solves the problem -- though that's kind of a pain.

    That issue seems to be from the raindrops on floor (and water) effect obviously having an issue. So yup definitely related to the rain. Kind of cool though lol

    @SirAndy any idea how to do this on a mac?
    No, i have no idea where it would be located on a MAC.

    On PC, that's not the same folder where the game is installed, it's in your user folder where your SavedVariables and AddOn folder are.

    Can confirm, delete your shader.cooked file in your eso live folder. Worked for me.

    I just had the same issue on my iMac Nvidia GeForce 750M (OS X 10.12.6) and MacBook Retina Nvidia GeForce 650M (OS X 10.13.1), but doing a repair through the launcher seems to have fixed it.

    Okay, last night the repair via launcher seemed to work, but the disco lights are back in areas with rain (no rippling though).

    Based on what other people have suggested, I've just deleted the ShaderCached.cooked file in my documents/Elder Scrolls Online/live folder. Actually I had 3 files ShaderCached.cooked, ShaderCached 2.cooked, and ShaderCached 3.cooked, so I deleted all of them and when I restarted the game there's a new ShaderCached.cooked and still have the disco lights in an area with rain.

    I'm guessing this must be an OS X specific bug, and I hope they get a fix for it. While not game breaking, after the requisite disco dance moves, it is annoying! :D

    *edited to add: So far, I only see the disco light glitch when it's raining, and it stops when the rain stops.

    repair and deleting the ShaderCached.cooked file doesn't fix it for me :(

    This is clearly a major bug affecting significant number of players.

    Any update from ZOS on this ?

    It seems to be an issue with rain, specifically on cobbled stone floor and a few other surfaces.

    @ZOS_GinaBruno pls get a fix going? It’s giving me a headache!!

    I have same issue here too. Insane colour ripples when it rains.

    Mac Book Pro 2016 with Radeon Graphics card.

    I have conducted repair - Didn't fix it.
    I removed the file: ShaderCache.cooked - Didn't fix it.
    I reset all graphic back to default - Didn't fix it.
    I unchecked almost all of my graphics boxes I could - Didn't fix it.

    SO NOW CAN WE GET SOME FEEDBACK ON THIS FROM THE DEVELOPERS????? ACKNOWLEDGEMENT? ANYTHING??????

    Theres also a thread on this in bug reports so it'd probably be a good idea for people to go there and add screen shots+OS version+graphics cards etc.

    Running on a 2017 iMac with Retina 5K, Radeon Pro 580 and having the same issue. Repairing the game and throwing out that shader file did nothing to help.
