The top image is me in game mode, as you can see the colours are bright and “normal”.

I press the “Play” button and now it’s dark!

Anyone ever come across this problem. I made no changed to lightning, via code.

NOW YOU may be asking “Moynzy, you have errors popping up on your console window…”

I start the game from the main Menu, how it’s suppose to be Played.

I press Play, and same result, pure darkness, and no errors.

Does anyone know why this is happening?

I’ve tried messing around with the lighting directional lighting in game mode, and it appears there’s a nasty tint that’s made everything darken.

Is there a fade-in/fade-out effect involved?

3

@reveriejake No fade in or fade out. I didn’t tinker with no lighting settings. Funny thing is, I built the game to test it, and the dark lighting goes away…

4

I’ve noticed that in the darkened shots, there is an additional “GameControl” object in the scene. Could it be that it is some leftover object, perhaps by using DontDestroyOnLoad()?

5

I’ve tested with out GameControl script, so from the main menu scene, there is a GameControl, and the continues into the next scene (The next scene has no GameControl).

6

Ah, okay. I thought maybe it had some UI component on it that would darken the scene.

7

I don’t understand, when I build the game, it doesn’t affect it, but in game preview it does.

I even tried it with different scenes, that have no UI components nor game objects, so going from scene A to Scene B just game me dark overlay.

8

In the built game, there is no way to randomly select a scene and run it as the first scene. The Unity player always plays the first scene that has been specified in the build dialog.

What I’m trying to say is, did you try playing your scenes exactly as they will be played in the built game? For example, in my games, I have a “logo” scene that always comes first. But in the editor, I’m always skipping it because it can get on my nerves if played every few minutes.

9

Yes, I tired playing the scenes exactly how they’re build in the game(built game). I start from Menu > Game

10

I just saw a tutorial yesterday, and they said that after you create an object with a light, even if you remove that object, it turns off the world inherent light (the lightbulb at the top)

11

I’ve seen this bug :smile:

Go to window > lighting and disable continuous baking. It’s bugged right now, apparently.

12

Didn’t work :frowning:

Went on my first scene, clicked play, and second scene the colour was not normal.

13

For me the bug was caused when ever I reloaded my level. Are there any more details for your scene?

14

I have a similar effect when I add a button to my scene. It looks like a semi-transparent tint is displayed over the screen. If i duplicate my buttons, the screen will eventually be opaque.
Do you have a UI button in the scene when you come in from the menu? Removing the buttons while the game is running removes this tint in my tests.

Hey, in the main menu I have multiple buttons ui elements. These elements are destroyed before entering the next scene, however my game level has HUD button elements.

I’ve tested transition from Main menu screen, to a game level with no ui elements nor object. Same tint over lay.

I have tested transition from a fresh scene, to a new fresh scene, still I get the tinted overlay.
