Could be intended for the cinematic look.
Try the options presented, but you'd be better off asking in the Discussion are of that resource, perhaps the creator can reply to that.

No its not intended, the light never lighten the scene. I saw the video of how its suppose to look like. I did ask the creator but no reply yet sadly

We need more information, for example which scene from which creator is it? (Edit: found it, Hunting a wild succubus by Ispinox) Is the scene lighting correct after loading the scene? Do you have this problem only in this scene and the rest is working fine? Are scenes from the same creator working?

I would debug the scene to get more information. Check the lights in the scene, are they off when everything turns black? Can you add a new light and will it work? What are the global lighting settings? As the scene is using the timeline plugin, are there triggers to control the lights?

If the scene is complex and you can't seem to find anything, you could also check the scene json file and search for lights or "trigger" for example. A simple example, where a light is turned off, another one's intensity set to 0 and the third entry setting the Global master lighting to zero through triggers called in the timeline plugin:

"Triggers" : [
{
"displayName" : "Licht links blau aus",
"startActions" : [
{
"name" : "Licht links blau aus",
"receiverAtom" : "Light Left Blue",
"receiver" : "Light",
"receiverTargetName" : "on",
"boolValue" : "false"
},
{
"name" : "Licht front aus",
"receiverAtom" : "Light Frontspot",
"receiver" : "Light",
"receiverTargetName" : "intensity",
"floatValue" : "0"
},
{
"name" : "A_masterIntensity:0.00",
"receiverAtom" : "CoreControl",
"receiver" : "GlobalLighting",
"receiverTargetName" : "masterIntensity",
"floatValue" : "0"
}

Thank you for your response. Sorry I couldn’t give much details. But yes, all other scenes are working fine and all are from Ispinox. Only this scene got that issue. I’ll try your suggestion and check the json file. I think I can atleast investigate whats happening in my side

I checked the scene myself (free and patreon version) and couldn't replicate your problem. To get that black look i had to turn off all 3 lights (and you have turned them on examining your ui in the screenshot) and also turn the camera exposure setting to zero in the scene lighting tab. So i don't think this problem will be find within the triggers or timeline. Would be curious anyways, because every user should have this problem then i guess.

Another idea:
Do you have a session plugin loaded which could inflict somehow with lighting?
Or perhaps some kind of missing dependency, although i can't explain why that should corrupt the lighting.
I also saw that in the last update Ispinox fixes a fill light - do you have the current updated version?
Did you edit the scene in any way? Tried to delete it and again download it fresh?
