Map in Full Bright Even with light_environment and light Sources.

[TheCrafters001]

So, I am working on a map for a friend, and I have some light sources, but when the map is compiled and played, it shows the map in Full Bright. I do have light_environment and light setup around the map, but what is causing the map to go Full Bright? Picture files attached.

DrSquishy,
I have installed the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistribute, but the issues is still not resolved, I get the same errors.

 

[DrSquishy]

Did you install the x86 or the x64 version? x86 is the one that you want

 

[TheCrafters001]

DrSquishy,
I installed the x64 version, so I am going to try the x86 version.

DrSquishy,
The issue has been resolved, thank you for your help.
