https://www.nexusmods.com/hitman3/images/169 Shamelessly reposting here so it can get seen. Also got some screenshots and I can confirm this happens in Marrakesh on the main mission and the Sarajevo DLC but not nighttime or Freelancer for some reason.

I'm sure I'm not the only long-time player of the trilogy who has noticed this. In Hitman 2016 and Hitman 2 this peculiar bright smoke effect in the rafters of the Marrakesh lamp corridor was not present, it was only added in with Hitman 3 and originally I thought this was just a choice that the developers made, but curiously, this same effect is not present in the current Freelancer or A House Built on Sand variants of the map, appearing only in the story campaign's A Gilded Cage map. So rather than a deliberate lighting choice it looks to be an oversight left in. A strange one because there is no sun or lighting source inside that can reflect on those thick clouds of smoke.

I was wondering if this was perhaps something that the Unofficial Patch team could look into.

I forgot to take my allergy meds for a week so I'm currently fighting that - please forgive me if I sound weird or unclear :p

My first thought is that this might be related to the infamous BOXC bug, where certain levels take on some traits of the previous level's lighting, if more than one is loaded in order without restarting the game. Are you sure it's a "Main Mission vs Other Modes" thing and not that?

Or in other words, if you load Marrakesh first, what happens? What if you load a different level and then Marrakesh?

I loaded main mission Marrakesh first after opening the game. Also happens after Situs Invertus (Hokkaido)
