In the videos I'm watching, it is so dark that spotlights are used just to see anything. Tweeking the gamma settings and my video brightness only makes my game darker as well as my entire screen. My tunnels are lit all the way at the bottom most levels. It still does not match what I'm seeing in gameplay videos. I'm just fed up with having to do college level research for my device just to get anything to work because apple wants to sweep the rug out under its customer base year after year. But who knows when will be appropriate to buy something to replace this piece so for now I'm stuck with it.

I spent over eight hours trying to get that demo to work and it was all for nothing. then I went to play again another time and never worked again. Then once I got it, it said it might make my game crash because it was problematic. I only got it because I wanted to try the free hitman demo. I'm wondering if it's something to do with Big Sur at this point. I know I've had my fare share of disappointments from apple, especially this year. Macs aren't renown for being good gaming rigs. I have enough in this thing to run the game perfectly fine, but who knows. In my situation it is a Mac Book Pro with the newest OS. It's also never really mentioned what the game is being run on. Every situation where I've seen this issue in threads the same solutions are mentioned and it's never really clarified if the problem was solved. I'm pretty sure this is either a Mac issue or I need to tweek my settings a very specific way. I'm aware of the camera light and it wasn't the case. Does anyone have any information on this? I'm stumped at this point and I'm sure I'm not the only person running into this issue. I want those walkways to be dark, not just a roller coaster ride. I want some dark tunnels for some of my other projects. Is it because I'm on Mac? do I need very specific settings. I've watched others just dig down and have this nice black tunnel. This doesn't add up with what I've seen either. I sculpted as high as I could go and dug under that as far as I could go and it's still the same brightness. I've read in other areas on the net that building into a mountain or sea level have something to do with it, but that doesn't do much either. I've tried tweeking the graphics settings to see if it would do anything, but I'm not getting anything close.

I'm hitting bedrock here and I get nothing. I've seen in some videos on youtube that these things are supposed to go pitch black when at lower levels, mine just don't change. My tunnels are always bright no matter what. I've noticed something off while playing. Been playing planet coaster non stop for several days now.
