NRE in PrepareLightsForGPU

Was wondering if anyone else was seeing this or if it was something we're doing.

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

The NRE appears to be the light component here:



Could it be that we have too many lights or something?

 

For anyone else hitting this. I switched to the latest github build and it's fixed.

It was fixed in the last couple of days, but not yet part of a publicly available package via the Unity Package Manager. I assume we'll see this released under 7.1.2 soon, and hopefully it'll make it into a 6.x release...
