In-game Lighting - April vs. August

Hi All,

So I thought I'd report this here and hopefully get some feedback to play around with lighting settings etc...
While my game settings have not been changed, I am wondering if something has changed in-game via a patch for example.

I jumped into my Kelvin Class Constitution Crusier and visited my bridge. I knew something was wrong. Luckily, I take photos of my game.
The Brightness and almost the colour scheme of the bridge has changed. It is now dark and gloomy and does not match the photo I took back in April. I also played around with the brightness settings to no avail.

Take note: This is the photo I took in April.

This is the photo I took today in August:

It is interesting to note, that both images were taken with lighting 2.0.

Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Does anyone know if its a bug? - and how do I get my game back to that first image?

The only place I can observe this lighting decrease is on the character selection screen, however I'll try and post some more before and after photos as I carry on playing.

Cheers. I'd appreciate any feedback/suggestions.

    Looks like the lens flares went AWOL which were the primary light sources on that bridge.

    I’m having so many lighting bugs since I came back a month ago. Seems to be dx11 and lighting 2.0 not liking my amd 360. Other and users are having similar problems. I am also getting the “face melting” bug. And black graphics glitch lines coming iut of my and other characters while on the ground.
    I have tried updating and rolling back drivers. And also forcing the game to use dx9 on the launcher command line, nothing is working. I am about to just stop playing, the game is barely enjoyable when and cut scene or ground running around looks awful with black vertex lines coming off my ears or clothing.

    Some of the fun I get to see every few minutes in game. Switching lighting 2.0 off and back on clears it for a few minutes, but it always comes back
