Bug #2665

Maps appear darker than usual when facing The Animatronic killer

Status:	Fix Incoming
Priority:	High
Added by:	not_king on April 15, '26
Assigned to:	Unassigned
Due date:
Reported for:	9.5.2
Actual Result:	All maps appear much darker than intended, reducing visibility and impacting gameplay.
Expected Result:	Maps should have their normal lighting levels, consistent with standard gameplay and map design.
Severity:	Major
Reproducibility:	Always
Platform:	Steam
Additional Notes & Comments:	Not set

Steps to Reproduce

1. Queue into a match as a survivor
2. Get matched against The Animatronic
3. Load into any map
4. Observe overall brightness and visibility

Explanation

When playing matches against The Animatronic killer, all maps appear noticeably darker than usual.
The lighting seems reduced beyond normal map variations, making visibility significantly worse for survivors.
Interestingly, the issue temporarily resolves after interacting with one of The Animatronic’s doors (teleport mechanic). Once teleporting through a door, the lighting returns to normal, suggesting the issue may be tied to a visual effect or state that is incorrectly applied and then reset.
