Problem with sky light

[FrankW]

I have the same problem like mentioned here:

Lighting Issue, Skylight lighting inside area the same as outside

As the title says my inside area are lit exactly the same as the outer areas. I have followed the tutorial creating the directional light, skylight, skysphere. Linking the skysphere and directional light. Have tried static, stationary and movable light. I have blocked off all light leaks like the tutorial shows and added a couple torches to experiment. Torch point lights are not showing up either. If I disable the skylight the interior darkens and torch lights work as expected. So as far…

Global illumination is activated. But everything is bright. Inside and outside.

Any idea?
If I add the sphere everything is fine like in the video. If I recapture the skylight it becomes bright. in the crypt too.

Pretty sure that’s due to the engine scalability setting, if you go to epic does it improve?

[FrankW]

Don’t know if I’m in the correct settings. But if I change the settings to epic nothing changes. See following screenshot.

I work with an Thinkpad E14 with AMD Ryzen 5 4500U. Possible a problem with the integratet gpu?

[DanM]

It’s possible, I don’t suppose this Thinkpad is also somehow a mac? I’ve seen people have lighting/ issues on that.

Would you mind sending me your project using the following link?

Please use File > Zip Project within Unreal as this will ensure only required files are zipped up and things like the Binaries are excluded.

[FrankW]

Ehhmm… the zip file is 2gb large and you only allow 1gb upload.
Yes, I exported it with File/Zip Project

I removed the MedievalDungeon folder from content folder. so its only 64mb. Hope thats okay?

[DanM]

Seems to look fine on my end?

Is it the same when playing?

[FrankW]

If i hit play i fall down without stopped by the courtyard bottom but as far as I see its bright inside too.

So it doesn’t seem to be an error in my project files but the rendering isn’t correct with my laptop/gpu?

[DanM]

Could be. I don’t suppose you have another PC to test with?

[FrankW]

I tried to change the type of the skylight to static. And after rebuild light it seems to work. But bottom and doors looked a little bit weird.
So I tried a cloud computer (shadow.tech) and after installing all stuff it seems to work with the same project.
So yeah… I think its my laptop gpu. If someone has any ideas how to setup my laptop gpu driver that it works with the unreal 5 lighting it would be nice. I will continue the course with the cloud VM :>

I’m actually facing this exact same issue. Running settings on epic, deleted everything and placed them again, and no fix. I ran the git project and it was as it should be. This is very strange.

For reference since OP mentioned his GPU might be a problem: I’m running a RTX2060
