Hey @ddillo2, I’ll try to help you with this!

1.Verify Your Lighting Setup: If you don’t have a Sky Light or Directional Light, add them to your scene.

2.Check if Post Processing is Overriding the Scene: If you have a Post Process Volume, check if Scene Color Tint, Exposure, or Bloom settings are affecting the visibility. Try disabling them to see if anything changes.

3.Check if the BP Sky Sphere or Lighting is in a Sublevel: If your BP Sky Sphere, Sky Light, or Directional Light is inside a sublevel, that sublevel might not be loaded when the game starts.

Make sure it is set to Always Loaded:

  1. Open the Levels Window (Window > Levels).
  2. Right-click the sublevel where the lighting is.
  3. Select Change Streaming Method > Always Loaded.

Hope this helps!
