    I just spend 5 hours trying to figure out why my bullets casings were not being batched by instancing when extracted from a gun. I figured it out by trial and error, it turns out on deferred rendering, light probes break batching for dynamic objects. 5 minutes after I solved the mystery I found this post with the same conclusion:

    https://forum.unity.com/threads/light-probes-and-dynamic-batching.364962/

    I don't remember this being in the documentation for light probes, rendering paths or batching.

    Can we please add this information so no other person has to suffer what I did?
