    Hello everybody,

    as you can see in the video, i have some issues when moving the camera, the lighting keeps changing and i have no idea on how to fix this.

    Any tip would be really appreciated, thank you.

    It looks like a feature within the map itself. if you watch carefully at 0:07-0:09 you can see that the physically light element turns itself on and off.

    That's what I think, not 100% true:

    -It will definitely happen if a map has more than one point lights in the lowest quality setting.

    -It will start flashing depending on where you looking at.

    Solution : Set the quality above low.

    What if you try to change the light mode to be "mixed"?

    Every light point is working fine even in the lowest graphics-----"very low" within "Mixed" light mode.

    ( Have just realized this when working on my new map )

    Having too many light sources can negatively impact performance, so depending on the quality settings, it only renders few lights at once.

    It's recommended to have just one directional light, and at most have one point/spotlight per area.

    If you really need to have many lights, they should be baked into a lightmap (I will soon create a post on how to do it).
