UE 5.1 vs 5.0 Lighting difference

There was actually a bug in 5.0 with lighting where lightmap directionality wasn’t calculated properly. For us it made the scene darker. You can find more info here: UE 5.0.3 Does not bake directional lightmaps

Now that they have fixed the bug your scene will look different in 5.1 compared to 5.0.
