Lights not working
My lights are not working, they are not emitting any light. https://imgur.com/uhcBOJ4

Is there a graphics settings or command for this? I have tried playing around with settings but can't seem to find it.

Im having the same issue as well as a buddy im playing with. ive tried changing settings around and nothing has changed. Others on the server im playing on say they are experiencing the same issue. I did log out once and they started to light, but re-logged cause standing torch wasn't, when i came back into game they all weren't emitting again. Haven't been able to reproduce them emitting again.

Same issue here, I think they only emit light when it is truly considered night time, but this doesn't help in naturally dark areas of a roofed base. I looked around in the console to see if there was a toggle to turn off the switch, but was unsuccessful.

I have also noticed the lights sometimes turn on when I'm away from base and come back, but if i turn it off and back on again it doesn't turn on.

never use third party image hosting sites for Steam games. Upload them to your Steam Image Wall and link them here.

I've been playing single player, and have a similar issue. For me though if I place the lamps/torches on the ground, such as my primary base, it seems to work fine. It's when I place them on any kind of mobile base such as a raft or Bronto platform saddle base that it gives off no light. Not even in the middle of the night.

It's still happening to me.

Bug - to get lit room back you can change then effects option to low or something, turn light on/off then change back effects option to what you want. Literally one line of code guess the first year monkey forgot to add it.
