Ahh, that makes sense! I noticed on my Windows machine the environment was wayyy darker than the liquid retina 4k display of my Macbook. I increased the maximum gamma to compensate for this, but this comment makes it clear I need to increase the default Gamma as well. Call this the trials and tribulations of developing and testing on a Macbook for a primarily Windows audience lol.
So then after I revise the initial gamma/brightness of the environment to an appropriate level for Windows, do you think I should still move the controls board into the initial area, or perhaps move the spawn point into that room that has that board?
