Yep yep. That's why i told you you're right. Mostly, the login-logout "workaround" proves me this is a client engine issue.
Otherwise, it could be easily the server's bug, because server makes most of the rendering (as far as i know, but i'm not a game developer...), so it was on my mind that it may pass a brightness level as well, as some kind of "cheat protection". That was stupid at all. Next time i think on all the possibilities, beside of posting the "first version" ;)

Hehe
Why would the server need to force the client to set the brightness? That's the job of the Client Engine, to handle all the map info, like the Skybox Brightness etc... All the Server needs to do is pass the position where all the players and objects are and what they are doing as well as maybe validating the mod/game files on start-up etc.
If this is the case, then there is most probably a brightness variable that stores the skybox brightness, used in for the map and maybe its not being flushed as I said before.
The only reason all other maps are fine is maybe they are using the default brightness for the Skybox, So you wouldn't notice it.
Though I could be wrong, but you never know :)

That's right. But what if server forces client to set a fix level of brightness? Probably not, because quit/connect back solves the issue... no... you're right.
Thanks for the comment
