Light Sources Stopped Casting Light

[rivethead_]

Sorry if this isn't the right place to ask but I've encountered quite a frustrating bug. Previously, in all my time with GZDoom, if I placed a thing down like a firestick or a floor lamp, when I would go to test it in game, it would have a dynamic light spawn with it, no muss no fuss, but for some reason I honest to God have no clue about, this just. Stopped. I've tried toggling dynamic lights, I've tried using different sector light modes, different render modes, etc, none of it works and it's left me quite confused.

 

If it's any help to figuring out what's going on, I have reshade installed as well, although I mainly use it for when I want to emulate playing on a CRT monitor for whatever reason, but usually I have it disabled.

This sounds like software conflict, finding the source could be a pretty big challenge if a different application is disabling dynamic lighting. I'd try checking to see if your graphics card has changed any settings for the applications during it's last update, check both OS & Nvidia/Ati settings. If still nudda, re-install the latest version of gzdoom. Hope you get it sorted.

You could try to create your custom dynamic light to attach to a firestick, for example, and see if that works.

When you launch GZDoom, make sure Lights and Brightmaps are selected, like in the screenshot below.
