Could you post a screenshot of any configuration changes you have made to the island setting or any devices? I am having trouble reproducing this issue and it would help if I could attempt to duplicate your setup. ---

It is a converted island and I am using “Day Night Cycle (Legacy)” in World Settings. Since todays update it ignores any changes to “Ambiance” in the island settings, aswell as changes in the skydome devices/day sequence devices (which both worked fine previously). It’s basically locked to Default settings. ![IslandSettings](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/a/5/e/a5e31b2e625761ca1f4ca0ededd6f24cbd1a046b.png) ![WorldSettings](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/0/e/5/0e5ad7cb23cc228e18727350603fc2965f45d0d3.png) ---

As you can see in this clip, none of the changes are applying. ---

Adding to this, it’s possible it may just be for the “Legacy” Day Night cycle but happening for our games as well ---

Thanks very much, I believe this will in fact only be a problem with the Legacy TODM. We are aware of the issue and working actively to find a solution. Thanks everybody. ---

Hi! Happening to my map aswell, seems like a 10/20 minute cycle which makes the map really unplayable. my map is a converted 1.0 map just as raider, if that helps. ![image](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/e/2/d/e2db93a05e5a87b287f3733164c8b4536c97cc31.png) ![image](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/5/d/3/5d34c91a1662b5deff6d07c5e605d6dd17d77d89.png) ---

I’ve noticed that I dont even have the “time of day” setting in my UEFN project for my map with this issue (attaching screenshot of the setting I dont have). Do we have any updates regarding this? 10 days without a post in the ecosystem post. Starting to be quite troublesome for the players.

My map is just night now. Did they reset the settings aswell? _UPDATE_ I’ve accidently changed from 12 PM to 12 AM during my last update when the time of day was bugged. It works now. ---

Hey I’ve been working on a map for a while now and I can’t figure out the day sequencer issue. Everyday I go to sleep my sky and fog is purple how I set it, to one specific time of day. I wake up everyday and it’s back to default..my sky is blue and plain. I notice even between switching from PC to ps4 it’s always different, sometimes it shows purple on my friends screen but other friends shows blue. Or on my own account and boyfriends with the graphic settings the exact same.
