Freddy Dream World Lighting Bug

On Springwood and Sanctum of Wrath (probably Family Residence as well, didn't test), Freddy's dream world is significantly darker than on other maps. It makes it almost impossible to see Freddy in certain parts of certain maps, as seen below.

It makes the game almost unplayable in my opinion, for both survivors (who can't see Freddy) and killers (imagine a Blendette who isn't asleep). However, I noticed that the lighting seemed bugged in a similar way to Dead Dawg Saloon when it released on PTB, so I tried the fix we used back then (change graphics settings from low to ultra, then back to low) and behold... this:

In contrast (ha) it seems unbelievably bright. I also noticed the skybox flickering between its normal hue and a dull orange.


Hope this isn't intentional, it doesn't seem to be but it's hard to tell.

    I can vouch for this. This same exact thing happens on console as well (PS4). Was playing on Springwood VS. Freddy, and every time we fell asleep it would be near IMPOSSIBLE to see a thing...


    It's WAY too dark, and you could tell that this is obviously NOT an intended side effect..

    PLEASE FIX THIS!!!
