Hmm not sure what might cause that. Any more details you could give?

Try rebuilding again(Use RGB8(For lighting) if you don't already). Check light actors. All else fails move terrain slightly. If you can't fix it you could try going back to a previous version (Save often) or a auto save.

My bet is that you have some misaligned BSP brushes (off grid, convex shapes, multiple overlapping meshes...) that are causing some errors.

Yeah -- that's a pretty good bet. Death Star Shadows ;o)

Check to make sure you dont have a couple of position(addition)(+) BSP brushes interesting each other. Like maybe that structure on the right side of the screen shot

could also be your skybox.. i sometimes get that shadowing when i have my skybox right next to the main area. confused me for a while til i figured it out. sense then i've been keeping my skyboxes under the level area
