Did the Flashlight get messed up after the new season?

Original Post

I'm creating a night time Prison Break map and I wanted flashlights to be used for certain parts of the story, and when I use it, everything looks washed out now so it's just the solid beam of light from the flashlight with no definition on whatever it's shining on. Has anyone noticed this? It's really ruining my map! :-(

In the screenshot, I'm shining it on a washing machine. I have the lighting set to 0% and fog at 100% to get it as dark as possible. When I was doing it in the final days of Season X, it worked just fine, now not so much...

Can you verify your settings aren’t on low? Especially shadows.

I have all my settings on low. Should they not be? I only have a 2gb gpu, so if I have stuff higher, my frames drop.

Yeah unfortunately because lights weren't working at all on mobile, we had to devise this "simplified" light decal so players weren't left in the dark (literally). I'm assuming you're on pc based on your UI. I'm thinking we should change this so it's only on mobile, and not PC/low.

That would be fantastic. Yes, I'm on PC with everything set to low. It got fixed when I set "effects" to medium instead of low. I think it should work no matter the setting though.

I fixed this, you should see it in the 11.10 patch.

Perfect, thanks so much!

Also, if you’re a dev for Epic, why don’t you have a flair? You should have one!

Lol ask u/iFlak to get me one. 😝
