Velgar Arena was too dark at night

Fix status

0.12.1 adjusts lighting to improve visibility during the Velgar encounter at night.

What to do now

Update and restore normal brightness before deciding whether an accessibility adjustment is still needed.

Close Dragonwilds and update the Steam client.
If the world is dedicated, stop, back up and update the server too.
Confirm the complete client and server version numbers match.
Reload the affected area or interface and retest the exact trigger once.

If the symptom still appears

Do not assume the same cause survived the patch. Record the current version, world type, host/client role, location and exact action that reproduces “velgar arena was too dark at night”. A new report with those details is more useful than applying an old workaround or deleting a save.
