    I am using Unity 5. I noticed when following the Survivor Shooter tutorials, that after the player dies and the scene is reloaded the Skybox is turned off. This makes the scene darker on reload. I read in one of the forums that this is because Unity now defaults the Ambient Light Source to Color (instead of Skybox). One fix is to go to Window -> Lighting -> Settings -> Environment Lighting -> Ambient Source and change it to Color. I then adjusted the color so that the scene looked its best. Using this as a fix, on reload the scene looks the same every time.

    My question is: is there a way to fix this issue which still allows you to use a Skybox?

    You must bake your scene if you want to use skybox as ambient light source. Realtime or Baked mode is good enough.unity cannot calculate skybox (IBL) light source in realtime
