Graphics Jobs - Real-time lights disappear?

Hi everyone,

I upgraded to 5.4 and noticed that when Graphics Jobs was enabled, all real-time pointlights in the scene became invisible.

It only happens in builds. Tested it on Windows x64 and PlayStation 4 builds.

Is this a known issue?

I'ma attaching a screenshot of graphic jobs enabled vs disabled. Notice the candle on the right and the far away lights.

 

Check your dynamic light settings for your default quality. It may be that you haven't got enough dynamic lights in the scene.

Your project looks great by the way! Got a website or facebook page I can check out?

 

Hey man! Thanks, the game is Aragami, you can just follow my twitter or the studio's twitter to follow updates.

I can't find the 'dynamic light settings', and the 'pixel light count' is only used in Forward Rendering as far as I know. Also, it only happens on builds, but not in the editor.

 

Can you take a picture of your quality settings for me? Might be able to help out!

 

Sure thing!

 

Your pixel light count should be higher just in case, try increasing that to fix the issue. If it doesn't work, make sure that you have quality settings for all builds.

 

Managed to reproduce it. Just create a group of point lights, go to Player Settings -> Enable Graphics Jobs and Deferred rendering. Make build and run it. Notice how it only shows 1 of the lights.

Attaching the full project (just 1 Mb). Just tested it with an empty project and Unity 5.4.0f3.

Just noticed that if you remove the real-time shadows from ALL the point lights they get rendered properly. Will continue investigating.

 

I had the same issue and had a hell of a time narrowing it down to graphics jobs. One thing I noticed is that any spotlights in the scene will work fine, even though all the point lights are gone.

 

I'm having this issue as well. It's amazing that so few people have noticed this. Graphics jobs is entirely useless for me with this bug.

 

I guess nobody uses Graphics Jobs? Which is a shame, really, as I feel we need a way to bump up performance on some systems.

 

If unity fixes this graphics jobs bug the performance would be much better. It seems graphics jobs is pretty good with lighting since I get a good 10-15 fps increase with it on in the editor, with six lights rendering in deferred rendering. But this bug needs to be fixed asap, I mean, who isn't going to have a realtime light in their game?

 

I submitted this bug in August. Still not fixed. Anyone from Unity can shed some light on the issue? Bug report: https://fogbugz.unity3d.com/default.asp?821028_j34k6f755f5ra3e1

 

Can't wait until I can actually use graphics jobs.

 

Working now as of 5.4.3p1
