Brightness decreases when game restarts

When the game starts, the graphics look perfectly fine, but when the frog gets eaten by the bird and the game restarts, the whole game looks like a shadow. I know it's not my display that's the issue because only the scene window goes dark. This doesn't affect the gameplay, but it is very annoying. Please help!

Hey Grant: I encounter the same problem, I solved it by doing following steps

In Unity Click Menu:

  • Window -> Lighting -> Lighting maps Tab
  • Uncheck the Auto checkbox, then build it once manually.

It works for me, and I think the reason is, we apply some effect about the light on the camera, it will build and implement when the game starts running by default. So when you reload the scene the light effect doesn't rebuild dynamically.

If you add some more change to the light, remember to bake the light data again.

I found the answer through this link, Hope this can help.
