Entrance lighting/Entrance effects

[WhereTheFdidTheEgo]

First, I've noticed that every first entrance of a match has a lighting issue where the arena is extremely dark anywhere that a spotlight isn't directly hitting, but then the following entrances are fine...

Here is what it looks like if Triple H comes out first:

This is what it looks like if Triple H comes out second(both use Triple H easy entrance):

 

I've also noticed that his water spray effect isn't working during his entrance anymore, also Kane's pyro didn't go off after he won a match... if anyone has any idea what could possibly be causing either of these issues, I would REALLY appreciate some help, it's been driving me crazy lately.

@WhereTheFdidTheEgo, the issues you have listed here are handled  the effect files in the pac\evt\effect folder (Triple H lights) and the Particle/ Gimmick files which handle the water spray particle effect and the Pyro. Either the files are missing or the game isn't reading them for some reason.

The files pce60102, pce60107.pac in the particle folder and gmev0102/gmev0107.pac in the gimmick folder handle the particle /pyro effects for Triple H and Kane's entrance. If this is happening with all entrances, one of your files is most likely corrupt.

If possible, can you send  copy of the chunk.def file from your game ?

Verifying the game files via Steam fixed both issues(Make sure you backup any mods that aren't in your /mods folder), for some reason I was missing a bunch of the effect files, thanks a ton for the help @squaredcirclefan
