Am I crazy or is this really true?
I could have sworn I played Kings row in night mode and then day mode…

From what I’ve studied, lightning is generally pretty intensive resource hog on a computer. By effectively prebaking reflections, shadows, and lightning into a map to be present in the base game you can reduce the resource usage.
However, that has trade offs because if you suddenly change lightning from night to day all of those prebaked assets aren’t relevant anymore. They might have found a way to possibly swap between all resources in a map quickly without increasing the size of the game overall to account for all reflections, lightning, and shadows for each map they make.

That’s what is there now.
You just don’t actually know what you’re talking about, as per usual.
All weather maps are prerendered and have been in custom games for ages. They just made them randomized.
No it is not. It is just another map variation added to the map pool. Not a really a dynamic weather change.
More like you don’t know what you are talking about as usual.
