Black screen (except for UI) in some indoor areas (ancest. tombs, thieves refuge) after latest patch

Hello,
I am wondering if anyone else is experiencing problems with a black screen (just the UI shows) in some indoor areas
such as ancestral tombs and the Vivec thieves refuge after the latest patch?

I had the game running for 25 hours with no problems but after the patch the water turned black, I fixed it by changing
the reflection settings to low but then went into the thieves refuge in Vivec and the problem returned.

I tried turning the shadows off but then almost everything outdoors was black except for the sky and doing so didn't
fix the interior problem.

I used the wayshrine and checked an ancestral tomb which was also black as was the water (until I turned the reflections
to low).

I did search and came across some other threads and tried some of the fixes mentioned but nothing made any difference.

Aside from the patch I had installed some addons so I removed those completely taking the files out of the Addon folder
but it didn't change anything.

Attached are some screenshots showing the problem.

    The first thing you should check when having texture issues is that your graphic drivers are completely updated. Running a repair through the launcher can also help if the issue is related to missing or corrupted game files. There are also some user settings you could change as described here that may make a difference.

    Thanks for your reply - I did try doing a repair but that didn't work.

    I've actually identified and fixed the problem; I had the 3DMigoto fix installed to make ESO work better with Nvidia 3D Vision.

    It was working perfectly but something new in the patch must have caused a problem with it so uninstalling it fixed the graphical issues I was having.

    I'm happy to say 3D is still working without the 3DMigoto fix with only some shadows on the ground being a little buggy.
