Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:

  2. Either create a scenario in the scenario editor and select a colour mood other than default, or start a skirmish on a map that uses a colour mood (e.g. Mangrove Jungle).
  3. Observe that all non-default colour mood settings look exactly the same as default.

Hey @Azmac93

thanks for the report!

Could you tell me how exactly this is occurring? For me it seems to work fine whenever I test a scenario in the editor, or launch a custom scenario via skirmish. Color mood is working as expected there.

I checked it again and i can confirm it still works in campaign missions (first orlean mission with winter mood)
But in random map scipts it doesn’t work anymore.
I’ve created an example with older screenshots. On the left you can see the ‘‘old’’ screenshots. On the right you can see actual screenshots (these are the same random maps. The color mood is clearly missing

Still not fixed after the update. I don’t want to be pushy but i can’t find the issue under the ‘‘known issues’’ site ( https://support.ageofempires.com/hc/en-us/articles/360049490811 ) and i hope the problem will not be forgotten. I know it’s more of a niche problem for people who make own random maps but it’s really bothering for some cool custom random maps (and also for some original random maps). They just look wrong without the color mood. :frowning:

tested it again. It’s still not working in random maps. Also it doesn’t work in custom szenarios too.

Yep.

Feels like the colour temperature lighting is straight up gone.
