Is there an ETA for Mixed Lighting on directional specular GI (Beta release)?

This issue is still present in the latest Unity 5 Beta 5.3.0B4 and I haven't found it on the Roadmap.

It was discovered on November 18 2014.

It already says: "Status: Fixed in future release" but what does this mean?

This bug has preventing us from shipping for a long time now and I'm sure there are a lot of other people too because its a basic feature to have real time shadows and baked lightmaps.

The project basically was ready on Unity 4 but since it's a VR game and Oculus has decided to not upgrade the Unity 4 support we had pretty much no chance but to upgrade to Unity 5.

At least i want to know when I can expect to have realtime shadows again.

I love Unity but it is so frustrating that there is no real technical support, only the premium support which at least has 3 months included.

Now that there are only a few differences between Pro and Free, it would be great to have some kind of support for a software that costs 1500$...

I really hope to get an answer.

 

We're really bound to this issue too, they said it will be fixed in 5.3 but that's two months ahead.... It ain't even in the current betas...

 

It's so frustrating we've been showing a 4 month old build from Unity 4 on the last meetups/conventions that we've attended. I'm just glad that we have side projects so that we are not 100 % financial dependend on our VR project otherwise i think i would have gotten a heart attack by now.

If i would tell some friends of mine that use UE that Unity is now longer than a year without mixed shadows they wouldn't believe me.

I hope they add it in a beta release soon. December would be pretty hard for us.
