Summary

Lighting mismatch between viewport and launched Fortnite session. Only one of three team members sees the mismatch. Scalability set to high in UEFN and graphics quality set to high in Fortnite.

What Type of Bug are you experiencing?

World Building

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create project and light using Day Sequence devices and Time of Day managers.

  2. Launch session

  3. Session much brighter all over.

  4. Check with teammates to see their experience.

Expected Result

I expect that what is in my viewport will roughly match what is in similar scalability settings in the launched session.

I expect if it does not match, that it will not match consistently for all team members on UEFN project using Unreal Revision Control and at latest sync.

Observed Result

Only one of three users, the lighting artist, has a dark viewport that does not match their launched session.

Additional Notes

I’m using the default viewport and set to show the game settings for exposure.

I used the lighting template from UEFN to show images of what I mean. In the actual project the difference in lighting is more evident.

Can you please attach UEFN and client logs from the affected machine? Are the client video settings the same between all 3 machines?

5

Do you have a link showing how I can do that?

@tea-hot

It appears that you did not click the revert button to match the Scalability settings, which would cause the lighting to not match in UEFN and the launched session. Could you repro again by ensuring the yellow icon is clicked and provide us with a video of you doing that?

@tea-hot - were you able to try the above?

Hi Flak, I’m chasing a close deadline right now and have switched to using another computer entirely to ‘solve’ the issue. I will take a look soon and reply back with the logs and the results video on the original computer. Thank you for helping, I appreciate it.
