When I look directly upwards while playing my game, the camera seems to darken. I have tried fixing the issue by playing with the camera settings with my player, but to no avail. Is there a solution to this? Thanks! -Gametram.

It may be auto exposure. If you set the minimum and maximum values to the same value it may help…

i disabled all auto exposures in my scene (i’m a few months late to this post lol) nothing happened. the only way i could fix this was deleting the default sun. (the default directional light in every template) maybe it has something to do with the directional light?
