thanks for the quick reply, i ticked actor hidden in game on the landscape and the problem still occurs. I really really need to render the final result for school (months of work) and this small detail is in the way !! I played with every setting from the Directional light, and on the flowers and grass’s static meshes, nothing seems to bring it back to the darker version. and I know its not the camera settings because it still appears out of camera view. Please help me aha
