Lighting issues in Devil May Cry 5 when using DX11

SKingBlue — Mon, 12 May 2025 03:37:15 GMT

During certain parts of the game when running in DX11 the lighting starts bugging out becoming brighter than intended. No setting or driver change fixed this so far.

Hello SKingBlue,

Thank you for creating a new thread for this issue. I assume that the settings from the other thread will be applicable here as well. I have one question: When playing this game, is HDR enabled, regardless of whether you're using the DX12 or DX11 API?

Best regards,

Sorry for the late response again, yes HDR is always on by default in the game when HDR is enabled in the system settings. Turning that on and off did not affect this issue.

Hello SKingBlue,

Thank you for addressing my question. I have a few follow-up inquiries regarding this issue. Could you let me know if the unusual lighting occurs only in specific game levels or missions, or if it happens across all levels? Additionally, to help us accurately replicate the issue, could you share your save file with us? You can locate the save file by navigating to the following directory: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata[Your Steam ID]\601150\remote\win64_save.

Best regards,

Here's my save. The main area this seems to happen is on Mission 3 when you enter the sewer area and continues the rest of the level. It seems to sporadically happen in Mission 4 as well.

I can confirm with the most recent driver update even on a clean install using DDU the problem still persists.
