[RC1] Shadows still buggy in caves

The RC1 is only a few hours old so I hate to complain so soon but something caught my attention right away. The shadows in caves are just as buggy as half a year ago in the beta. It was the main reason I kept my maps in beta phase untill day of release so its a bit dissapointing to see no difference. So is this how caves will look like, is it a bug or is there something wrong with my pc?

It is not a bug as it is working as intended. It is more seen a limitation.

You are in the worst situation for computing lightmaps : totally dark area, only lit by bounced light.

Lighting this part well would ask a day full of computing the lightmap (at least).
MegaUberUltra quality with tons of bounces and antialiasing.
